August is Peach month. I remember the peaches from my grandmother’s back yard. We would eat some off the tree but we were nuch more interested in what Grandmother W. would do with the peaches. She would make preserves, pie, and cobbler. The cobbler was the star — I can still taste it now. But she really didn’t incorporate the peaches into our everyday meals. I think…

Warm Italian Panini Sandwich
August is National Sandwich Month! And August 11th is National Panini Day! Do you make paninis at home? It’s easy even if you don’t have a panini press! A classic Italian sub sandwich normally features a mixture of cured meats, such as salami, pepperoni or ham, and provolone cheese on an Italian-style roll.

You can achieve similar results with a…

Watermelon Feta Salad with Lime-Cilantro Vinaigrette
Happy National Watermelon Day! I grew up eating watermelon at my grandmother’s house during the summer. My family would buy one a couple of times a week — there were quite a few of us plowing through the watermelon. My cousins and I would spit the seeds out like machine gun bullets — this was before the rise in the seedless watermelon. Yes, I used t be good at spitting out seeds and making it entertaining. Now if I find a seed in my seedless watermelon, it’s horrible. I have gotten spoiled in my old age. But seedless watermelon does have its benefits. Like in this recipe Watermelon with Feta…
