Saturday Snapshot & Weekend Cooking: Summer Food


I didn't have any new photos this week to share (super busy week), so I looked through my photos from the past few months and decided to combine Saturday Snapshot, hosted by Melinda at West Metro Mommy Reads, with Weekend Cooking, hosted by Beth Fish Reads, for a Summer Food post!

Looking back over my summer photos, I have shared all the travel and nature photos, but I see plenty of photos of great food we enjoyed this summer, both at home and away.

So, here we are...my summer of food in photos!

Homemade Corned Beef Hash & Eggs - Memorial Day Weekend

Fresh, local strawberries - amazing!

Baklava (my favorite!) from Greek Festival in June

Cuban Eggs Benedict at Up for Breakfast in Manchester, VT

Back home, steak & veggie kebabs

Favorite summer meal: Roasted Cod & Veggies

Authentic Muffeletta & Gumbo From Cajun Kate's, an amazing local place

Best Birthday Ever: Ice Cream Pie from Abbott's Frozen Custard in Rochester, NY

Delaware Peach Season! Mostly Paleo Shortcake (except the real whipped cream)

Childhood summer dinner revisited: Tuna & Tomatoes

My sons always ask for a homemade banana cake for their birthdays!

Yum - it was a delicious summer! Hope you are enjoying a wonderful holiday weekend!

  1. Delicious! Now I am hungry, even though I just finished my cereal and coffee...somehow, not quite as satisfying.

    Here are MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOTS

    1. Yum! It's one of my favorites :) I usually only get it once a year, in June at the Greek Fest. We went to a Turkish restaurant in VT this summer, and I couldn't wait for dessert...and they were out of baklava! I was so disappointed!

    1. Sure! That would be fun! You're not that far away ;) I love summer cooking - throw something on the grill, chop up some fresh-from-the-farm veggies, and slice open a juicy melon, and you have dinner!

  4. All those photos had me drooling! I first knew of baklava when I started working in a Greek restaurant. It was hard to stay away from.

    1. Mmm...I love baklava, too. It would be dangerous for me to work in a Greek restaurant!

    1. Those fresh, local berries are amazing - totally unlike what you find in the supermarket! Too bad they only last a few weeks each year, but that just makes them more special!
