There's something about strawberries that just screams SUMMER!
When we went strawberry picking as kids, the cashier said "Good thing we weigh the baskets and not your kids…"
Can you blame us? Fresh strawberries are deeeeelicious!

Summer Corn Salad
Hello lovelies,
How've ya been?? I can't believe last time I posted was a month ago! Between preparing for France (and Barcelona… eek!!!), work, yoga, friend gatherings, and weekend getaways, my summer has been flowing beautifully. I guess my gut was right because my choices have led me to be so happy! I'm just loving the summer months and even the crazy heat that goes along with it, which is a rarity since I'm an 85 year old man when it comes to sweltering days.
I have started this post about 5 times, but each time I get swept away by one thing or another. But this time it's for real! Here is a wonderful summer corn salad recipe that is great paired some bbq yumminess or even stuffed into a quesadilla.
** This recipe is dedicated to you, Ariane… I know you love corn (enough to have a drawer solely for cans of it in our pantry.***

Every summer has its own story...
Road trips, sundresses, beach reads, freckles, laughter.
