Chez Nous by Tammy Circeo

We just got back from a lovely week in the PNW, home to us for 21+ years. We visited some of our favorite people, ate at some of our favorite restaurants, saw some of our favorite mountains and ocean, and generally loved it all! There is no other place that I enjoy salmon so much, I have to tell you! So in reflection of our trip, I'm sharing this favorite recipe for a simply prepared wild salmon with a chili ginger aioli.

Sunday = Family Dinner | Today, I'm wearing white and blue and we're gonna enjoy a Greek/Mediterranean feast! The chicken is marinating in olive oil, lemon (juice & zest!), garlic, fresh oregano, and sumac. The potatoes will roast with garlic and rosemary. A Greek salad is in the making as well as tzatziki sauce. I'm attempting some homemade pita bread, too, but we'll see how that turns out because I've already messed up the order of the process! 🤪 We'll have spanakopita, hummus with veggies, pepperonata, and olives for Sunday Snacks. Wish you were here, but now I've gotta get to work!

I love crunchy, crisp celery! Mix it with cilantro, cashews, and green onions, then dress it with an Asian-inspired vinaigrette. You'll have a refreshing summer salad that is sure to please.

We call this dessert "4-layer Dessert" because, well .... it's got four Iayers. We've made it for years for summer holidays because it's cold, delicious, and we can make a flag on top using blueberries and strawberries. Southern Living recently posted an article listing the many names used to title this dessert and I found it quite humorous! Check out their profile or website if you're interested.

It's been a busy week preparing for yesterday's shower to welcome our 7th grandchild so I worked ahead for family dinner. Well, truthfully, my son did! We have Chicken Casserole ready to reheat and we'll have some snacks and desserts leftover from the shower ... simple, casual, and delicious.

Alright ... let's see if Instagram will let me play today! It seems they've lifted the ban on my account so let's try posting a delicious Honey Almond Chicken Salad. It's a great option to have in the fridge on warm summer days.

Here's hoping on my Julia Child rose that I'm finally out of Instagram timeout!

Does your dad like bratwursts? These are cooked in b**r and onions, then grilled and snuggled into delicious sauerkraut. Serve them up on Father's Day with buns, plenty of mustard, and some mashed potatoes. Dad will feel so special!
