Cucumber Cantaloupe Salad

Cucumber Cantaloupe Salad // shutterbean

I made this Melon & Mint Salad many years ago and I’ve been thinking about it lately. There’s something so nice about cold melon. It’s super refreshing on a hot day. Pair it with some crunchy cucumbers, a squeeze of lime juice, a dash of sea salt and some fresh mint and you have yourself  an amazing snack. Or if you’re feeling up to it….just make some Cucumber Watermelon Popsicles.

Shortbread Strawberry Crumble // shutterbean

Casey and I went to one of our favorite places for the weekend and we ate like it was our last weekend on Earth. One of the highlights was the  special dessert we ordered from Glen Ellen Star. And to think Casey wasn’t sure if he wanted dessert!  I knew it would be the first recipe I’d recreate when I got home and here it is!

Shortbread Strawberry Crumble // shutterbean

For this recipe, we take juicy strawberries and roast them.  If you’ve never roasted strawberries, you should definitely DO IT NOW. Then we top them with crumbled shortbread cookies when they’re hot from the oven. It’s the simplest/most rewarding dessert. It takes no effort at all! When it comes to Summertime eats, simple is always best. Let the strawberries SHINE.
