Summer Favorites

I love summer. Food, sun, schedule...with it's gloriously slow days and busy nights, warm air, and that beautiful, energizing sun that goes missing so quickly come November. So this post is dedicated to enjoying the product of those sun rays -- fruit!

Our neighbors have an apple tree, and they let us a pick some...so we made our first ever, totally from scratch (Crust and all!) fruit pie. Seriously, the best apple pie I've ever had!




I love peaches too. They just taste like August, and they are the best color ever! I had to include this picture 'cause they're just pretty!


And speaking of pretty, I was telling Paul I learned to eat certain food because it was pretty. Take peppers and tomatoes for instance....the color is just phenomenal, and they just make you want to taste them! And I found the pretties vegetables at the farmer's market this week. And look, a purple pepper! I've never seen one before...and I can't wait to try it.

I'm working on strawberry jam, as I type too. There is nothing better, or a prettier ruby red color, than homemade strawberry jam. And as Paul doesn't like it, I have it all to myself!
