Now that our garden is starting to yield wonderful herbs for us such as basil, parsley, and cilantro, we have been planning our meals around what we can pick in our own backyard!  I had some leftover tomatoes from a meal earlier in the week (store bought, too early for home grown tomatoes!), so I decided to whip up a batch of salsa to make use of our cilantro.  No real recipe here.  I just threw some tomatoes, onion, garlic, cilantro, fresh lime juice, and salt and pepper into the food processor and voila!  Delicious salsa!  I can’t wait to have jalapenos and tomatoes from my garden to spice this up!

I discovered this recipe last summer and I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve made it!  To change it up a bit we added salmon, which we had a ton of left over from dinner earlier this week.  This was a great way to liven up leftovers!  I was unable to find arugula this week so that was the only other change I made to the original recipe.  This salad is perfect for summer nights when you don’t want to heat up the kitchen!  I think it would be a great addition to a summer picnic or a special Father’s Day celebration!

tasty tasty robots!

I hosted a baby shower for the lovely Emily of Cast Sugar.  She and her husband gave her baby the cute nickname of “robot”, which sparked this great idea for the cake.  Using these cupcakes as inspiration, Sam Combs re-created them in both white and chocolate for Nemmie’s shower.  I squealed when I saw them, they are SO CUTE!  And amazingly tasty, fondant and all!  Amazingly affordable too, I couldn’t be more pleased!
