Today, we celebrated my husband’s birthday (Happy birthday, honey!). The day started with a homemade breakfast of cheese omelets, homemade hashbrowns and chicken sausage. Then there was Will’s 5-year-old well-visit to the doctor followed by lunch (sandwiches from our fav deli), work and a special dinner with family.

It was a whirlwind.

So, I am keeping this post short today.

What to do with your produce:

• Nectarines – Nectarine Muffins @ Pinch My Salt
• Corn – 10 Fresh Summer Recipes for Sweet Corn @ The Kitchn
• Slicing tomatoes – A simple idea for heirloom tomatoes
• Tomatoes – Sundried Tomato Basil Hummus
• Cherry tomatoes – Whole Wheat Couscous Tabbouleh Salad
• Garlic – Grilled Marinated Steak Skewers

Enjoy!

P.S. Sarah’s Cucina Bella will be on hiatus until Sept. 7, 2010 so that I can enjoy my kids’ last days of summer. See you on the 7th!
