FF #498

Here we are again, now closing in on 500 parties, just around the corner. 

We are halfway through the summer and the bugs are eating my tomatoes. These are my thoughts. Haha

Let's get to partying.

FF #497

Let's get to this week's Funtastic Friday!

Grilled Peaches with Peanuts, Sage and Gorgonzola

Ingredients

 2  Peaches Halved, pits removed 

5 Fresh Sage Leaves , chopped

1 cup Peanuts

3 Tbl Gorgonzola Cheese, in a bowl

1 tsp butter 

2 Tbl Olive Oil

Grill the peaches. I used a cast iron flat top . I got it very hot , added 1 tbl olive oil and added the peaches flesh side down. Cook until the peaches get a little color. (One minute or so.) Remove from heat.

In a small frying pan heat olive oil and then add butter. This is done on a medium to low heat.

Toss the peanuts and get them nice and coated and heated through. Add the chopped sage leaves. Allow the sage leaves to get crispy and remove from the heat.

Fold the peanut mix into the gorgonzola. The cheese gets melty and coats the peanut mix. 

Lay out the peaches and fill with peanut sage mix.

This recipe came about because I was searching for a way to use up my abundance of sage. I'm new to growing sage in my garden and new to using it fresh. I'm also new to using it outside of the fall season.

This is my twist on grilled peaches based on items in my pantry and seeing a flavor pairing of peanuts and sage. I could see the flavors being successful, so I went for it.

It was perfect with a glass of Malbec. 

Enjoy

With love and gratitude

Strawberry Salad Dressing w/ Everything Bagel Seasoning

Let me start by saying this dressing is delicious and creamy and exciting and very different than what we normally use for a dressing. I definitely make crazy dressings now and again but this just felt a little exotic, a little high end , a little extra special, a little 5 star ★★★★★. My husband and I consider this a memorable dressing. So that's why I'm sharing. You need this dressing in your life! 

I know, I'm so dramatic about food. 

Now , I will say that it was severed over a spinach and sliced strawberry salad with some sliced red onion. You can figure that part out.

A few months back I decided , for health reasons to make my own homemade mayonnaise. There are a bunch of recipes out there so I won't bore you with the details. What I will tell you is that I use avocado oil and it tastes best to me. I recommend using a homemade mayo but I imagine you can easily use store bought mayonnaise or sour cream. 

Strawberry Salad Dressing w/ Everything Bagel Seasoning

 

3 tbl of mayonaise 

1 tbl of balsamic vinegar

4 fresh strawberries slices

1 tsp honey

1 tbl of "Everything Bagel" seasoning

Throw the first four ingredients into a blender or bullet until smooth. Just a few seconds. Add to a jar. Stir in the "Everything Bagel" seasoning

I added feta cheese to the salad. Yummy.

The mix of colors make for a great presentation.

No need for salt and pepper because the Everything Bagel Seasoning adds everything you need for flavor.

Let me know if you love this as much as we did.

With love and gratitude

Michele
