Well, the dog days of summer are upon us. Our raspberries are coming on strong for their second round, which gives us a reason to step out into the heat.
Last night I prepared the above meal and we thought it would be fun to put together a plate presentation for a pic.
Menu:
-Marinated and broiled KC Strip (I usually get a good deal on whole filets, but this week one of our grocery stores put whole KC strips on sale for $2.98/lb. We bought two whole strips!
-Fresh corn on the cob
-Tomato Caprese'. This is simply one of the highlights of summer! Tomato and fresh basil from our garden, soft mozzarella and topped off with e.v. olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette.
-All Natural Red Velvet Cake. I was trying to look for a recipe to make the cake with no red food coloring. They suggested beet powder, but our grocery store didn't have any. So I blended up a pound of frozen cherries. A little dark red, but it did the trick! The cake was unbelievably moist and tasty. (no artificial flavors, colors and no hydrogenated oil)
-An ice cold Hebrew "Chosen Ale". That was for me, not Isaac!
Bon Appetit'!
