Summer 2012
Autumn is my favorite season of allllll time and it’s coming up! Have you ever experienced Autumn in the Bay Area? It’s warm, hazy and there’s a slight chill to the air. We have this thing called Indian Summer which means that the leaves are falling and it’s like 80+ degrees. It’s weird, but it’s what I’m used to. Before we welcome Autumn, let’s recap Summer shall we?
I’m seriously not ready for all this pumpkin latte talk.

Friends! No new Joy the Baker podcast this week 🙁 Joy is in Maine and I’m going through maj withdrawals! You can listen to all of them here!
There is a new High Straightenence post though! I’m planning a family get together this weekend and this is how I’m mapping out my TO-DO lists.
MY BITES AROUND THE NET
My friend Alli shares how she meal plans! She was inspired by my post on homefries.
Rebecca Moss made my No Knead Pizza dough recipe.
Jessica from How Sweet Eats was inspired by my Grilled Peaches with Blue Cheese recipe.
Anne from Anne the Adventurer also made my Grilled Peaches with Blue Cheese recipe!!
Melissa Mann from the RueLala blog used my Basil Infused Oil with Caprese Quinoa.
Iris from Eating Clean in the Dirty City made my Peaches & Plums with Sesame Crumble.
Shredded Rainbow Salad
Sometimes I feel guilty when I come home from work and I don’t want to make dinner for my family.
I don’t think I’m alone.
But then I find a recipe that reminds me that food doesn’t have to be complicated. We can just shove stuff into a food processor to make a salad. And how dang easy is it to dump stuff in a jar and make salad dressing. Dang EASY.
Getting my picky almost 4 year old to try shredded beets? That is the opposite of dang easy.
We can add buttery toast and we can call it a meal. We can add grilled meat and call it a meal for my husband.
We’re eating rainbow colors on a weeknight as we should be. Now, what’s for dessert?
