Cook the Book: 'Screen Doors and Sweet Tea'
I like grapefruit flavored vodka mixed with kiwi strawberry lemonade, with a slice of fresh lime. Serve this ice cold! Great summer party drink!

I would make my fabulous shrimp cakes with pickled ginger, cilantro and sweet hot chili sauce.

Sounds delicious. I will try it tomorrow.

Dinner Tonight: Open-Faced Egg Salad And Watercress Sandwich
Some freshly minced dill really perks up the egg salad!
Cook the Book: The Cornbread Gospels
I hate to admit it but my favorite cornbread is from my local Whole Foods store. It is moist, sweet and delicious!
I Love Creamed Spinach
A pinch of freshly grate nutmeg hightens the flavor of the creamed spinach.
Cook the Book: The Sweet Melissa Baking Book
I love a Pineapple Upside down cake. It is so old fashioned and classic.
Cook the Book: 'My Last Supper'
I could not live without fresh lobster rolls, New England style, with buttered toasted rolls, fresh lobster, lemon juice, parsley, mayonnaise, minced shallots, fresh minced dill and spices. Melted butter is poured on top of the cooked lobster salad once it is in the toasted roll and it is briefly broiled. Yummy!

Cook the Book: 'Roast Chicken and Other Stories'
I marinate a whole chicken in a bit of grapeseed oil, worchestershires sauce, cream sherry, pomagranate juice, salt, pepper, funegreek, crushed rosemary and sage, oregano and any other spice that I am in the mood for. I add 2 T. Splender to this because I like my marinade a bit sweet.I keep this refrigerated for 2 days in a ziplock bag. Then I drain and reserve the marinade. I roast the chicken in a preheated 325 degree convection/sear oven for about an hour or until it registers almost 165 degrees. Then I let it sit, covered with foil, 10-15 minutes. I boil the reserved marinade several minutes to serve with the roasted chicken. I turn the chicken after it cooks halfway, so it browns nicely on both sides. Since it cooks about an hour, I usually cook some potatoes and other root vegetables with salt, pepper and a bit of oil at the same time in the oven. A perfect meal every time, with leftovers for sandwiches the next day.
I Love Creamed Spinach
Creamed spinach is one of my favorites, too. I usually confine myself to ordering it once or twice a year when I go out to a good steakhouse. However, I may have to change that now!
One restaurant I go to throws in a handful of pinenuts, which gives it some crunch.
But for a more diet-friendly approach, try cooked spinach with a splash of vinegar and just a dab of butter or olive oil stirred in.
Both go great with steak.
Dinner Tonight: Tyler Florence's Ultimate Potato Salad
This recipe is really close to mine. I use sour cream rather than mayonaise and add fresh chopped dill, chopped celery, a splash of white wine vinegar and more eggs. It is real light and nothing like the photo. Not wet at all. When wanting this to be more filling as a main course, I have added large chunks of salami and ham. It's great.

Gin and tonics are my favorite for something cool to drink while sitting on my patio.
Cook the Book: 'Screen Doors and Sweet Tea'
Mint juleps! Forget mojitos, I prefer this classic work of art in bourbon, mint, sugar and ice - the perfect compliment to relaxing on a porch swing or rocker.

Give me a refreshing Gordon's Cup made with cucumber and limes - you can add a splash of Midori for extra pizazz!

I have recently been drinking watermelon slushies!
They taste great and they're low-cal. Just put crushed ice and watermelon cubes in a blender for about 5 seconds and you have a great summertime drink!
Cook the Book: 'Screen Doors and Sweet Tea'
My fave summer drink is a big pitcher of Sangria, with fresh peach slices and other summer fruits floating in it...its like a snack and an alcoholic bevvie and a thirst quencher, all in one! (And I would share the pitcher, in case anyone was wondering...)
