The Sweet Taste of Summer! Summertime is filled with sunshine, outside picnics and family fun. When I first looked at the menu for this week's White Picket Produce box, my mind started swirling with the possibilities as soon as I saw fennel. In my opinion, fennel is underrated, under-praised and under-utilized in cooking. Fennel has a cabbage like texture with a sweet, licorice flavor that tends to take the lead in many recipes, but when given the opportunity to shine, I can almost guarantee it will become one of your favorite summertime vegetables. I saw the Valencia oranges, the pears, the tomatoes, and the cucumber; I was ready to start cooking and my box hasn't even been delivered yet! Cucumber, Tomato and Fennel Summer Salad
Let's start with a classic summertime salad combination of cucumber and tomato, paired with fennel. This recipe is probably the simplest one with the most flavor. Slice up the tomatoes into a medium dice, the cucumber into slices, and the fennel into medium strips. Toss them in a bowl and whip up this easy vinegarette. Ingredients 1 1/2 tablespoons of lemon juice 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespoon fresh oregano salt and pepper to taste Combine all ingredients and mix in with the vegetables for a refreshing summer salad! Super Summer Soup Another fantastic recipe takes the cake for a fresh summer soup, perfect for an afternoon lunch. With a bubbly white wine, this dish has the undertones of luxury that lifts the flavors of the fennel to royal status. Ingredients 1 1/2 bulbs of fresh fennel, sliced. 1 medium onion, sliced 2 medium pears, diced 1 bay leaf 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil or butter 1/2 cup white wine 2 1/2 cups water Salt and pepper to taste Directions 1. Heat the olive oil or butter in your dutch oven or a large pot and once the oil is hot, add the fennel and onions. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and allow it to cook down for about 10 minutes until the onions are translucent and just starting to caramelize. 2. Add in the pears and finish cooking the mixture. 3. Deglaze the pan with the white wine and then add in the water and the bay leaf. Cover the pot and allow it to come up to a boil before reducing the heat and simmering on a low heat mostly covered (just allow some of the steam out) for about 5-10 minutes. 4. Remove the bay leaf before blending the soup with an immersion blender. If you need to use a free standing blender, let the soup cool down before blending to avoid splatter. Then enjoy! I prefer to serve this soup with a nice piece of crusty bread, or it's even delicious with some shaved parmesan cheese! Citrus Fennel Salad One of my favorite summertime dinners is grilling a great piece of chicken or fish with either a slice of lemon or orange on top.. This citrus inspired salad pairs perfectly with that! Slice up your fennel as thinly as you can, then peel and slice your orange. I learned that if you slice the top and bottom portion of your orange and then slice the peel off in horizontal sections, it's super east to slice up the orange into little wedges perfect for a salad! To make the dressing for this salad, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil with a tablespoon of either orange or lemon juice with salt and pepper. Drizzle the dressing over the top and garnish with a bit of chopped flat leaf parsley, and you're ready to serve! I hope you enjoy some of my favorite fennel recipes. I'd love to hear some of your creations as well! With any luck, you have found a new favorite summertime vegetable. Happy Healthy Eating!

It is essential to maintaining sanity as a work at home mom! My happy little coffee maker is always ready to go to brew me a cup of happiness. I've tried a significant amount of different blends of coffee, and I must say, Venetian Coffee Roasters is on to something close to heaven. The first time I tried a blend, it was at the Suncoast Cafe located near the Venice Airport in Venice, Florida. Normally, I'll drink a single cup of coffee with breakfast and load it with cream and sugar, however, after my first cup, I had to have a second. This time, I cut my milk and sugar by half and it was truly the best cup of coffee I had ever had. I actually prolonged my breakfast just to sit and have a third cup, and took a cup with me to-go. The flavors were rich and full bodied, exactly what I needed to jump-start an awesome family day after a breakfast out. Imagine my delight when I found out that they had partnered with White Picket Produce to be a part of my biweekly fruit and veggie box! This blend was a bit more mild, but still packed an awesome flavor. From my previous experience, I knew I didn't need to add much extra, so a splash of cream and a bit of sugar and I had my cup of perfection. It's always wonderful finding that perfect cup of coffee. It's even better when it comes from a local shop! AdoramaPix helps people turn their digital photographs from abstract computer files into beautiful keepsakes designed to last a lifetime.

I am always buried in either work, product reviewing or parenting. I have a million different messages, emails, phone calls or work to attend to and I usually only make a single trip to Publix(my store of choice) for the bulk of our groceries. When I discovered that White Picket Produce would deliver fresh, organic produce right to my door on a weekly or biweekly basis, it was like an answered prayer.
Instead of constantly using frozen or canned veggies and fruit, I could have a standard box of organic produce for $37. I receive an email on Sundays reminding me to check out my menu, and I can substitute items on there that perhaps I don't want for other items that may be available instead, or I can even add extra items like more produce, local honey, eggs, kombucha, juices, and I received an email this week that grass fed meats are coming! When you sign up, (and I say when, because you REALLY need to try this service at least once) If you click here, you'll get $10 off your first delivery as my referral! Then, come back here and share how much you love your produce! I am totally in love with this little tablet, and I think Ellie Bean is too! When it arrived, I followed the instructions and allowed it to charge overnight before I powered it up to start setting it up. I appreciated that the tablet came with the case already on it and that it already had basic apps downloaded. There is an adult mode and a child mode, but once in child mode, it does require a passcode to revert back. This makes me feel fantastic as a parent because I know my daughter will not be able to access something that she is not supposed to. Thanks to the front and rear camera, I can enable skype so that Ellie Bean can have her own chat sessions with her aunts and uncles and cousins without the need for me to stop what I'm working on and hand over my work computer! Another great option is the time restrictions. I can set the time for an hour and then it will actually tell her to put it down (or whatever message you choose). I love that option to limit her screen time and even more so, that a company recognizes that these limits need to exist. Finally, I was skeptical at first about looking at a different brand, and typically, I go by "you get what you pay for"... in that respect, I have spent quite a bit on the bigger, more expensive brands like Leapfrog or InnoTab, and I am definitely happier with this tablet than I was with the battery life or app availability on the others. There is a huge value in iRulu, and I can't wait to try more of their products! We had so much fun with this instant snow in a can! Living in Florida, Ellie Bean has not quite grasped that it's too hot for snow, and just wants to play in the snow. My Aunt purchased this from a store in Virginia, and brought it down with her as a special Christmas treat, and it really was! I find that the "snow" didn't get as cold as snow, (which I'm sure can be adjusted with the temperature of the water) but it felt like playing with snow with extra thick gloves on. I grew up playing in the snow when we lived up north, but being able to play in "snow" with my daughter is so much more fun, and there's no fear of frostbite or a need to get bundled up in snow clothes! |
