One Busy Summer

What can I say?

It was

a busy

summer...

to say

the least.

It's been forever

since I

blogged.

But I promise...

Now that Fall

is here,

I will be

back to my

normal

blogging.

But here is a

wrap up

of what

I have been

up to...

There were so many wonderful

Summer recipes to make!

 

Camping, Camping, Camping!

Summer Reading.

Hanging out with friends.

Gardening and  Harvesting.

Feeling blessed when friends 

came to visit.

Watching my flowers grow!

Celebrating Micah's Birthday 

at his favorite Breakfast Cafe.

And throwing a Baby Shower

for Mackenzie.

Berries

Time to go

berry picking!

It looks

like the 

Flathead Cherries 
and 
Huckleberries
are ready
for picking!

Now I
just need
some cute
berry containers
like these.

Grilled Cilantro Lime Shrimp

Summer time

calls for

grilling!

And if

you like

shrimp...

then you

have to

make this!

Grilled Shrimp with Cilantro, Lime, & Peanuts

Adapted from Martha Stewert

2 limes

2 teaspoons fish sauce
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 pound shrimp, shells removed
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup salted peanuts, coarsely chopped
2 scallions, finely chopped

1. Zest limes into a bowl. Squeeze in juice from 1 lime, and whisk in fish sauce and sugar.

2. Preheat grill to high. Brush shrimp with oil on both sides, and lightly season with salt and pepper. Grill until pink and firm to the touch, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

3. Toss shrimp with fish-sauce mixture, cilantro, peanuts, and scallions.
