Raw Summer Squash Salad

August 19, 2014 · 2 Comments

Raw Summer Squash Salad

This past weekend the garden bloomed with plenty of bright green zucchinis and yellow squashes. They’re lovely grilled or baked into cakes, but I prefer mine fresh as a salad. I topped steamed asparagus and hericots verts, with spaghetti-like ribbons of squash. When I made a batch of this, I knew extra was going to be needed, because I have been adding it onto everything.IMG_4620

I just loved the way the roasted tomato pesto became the perfect dressing for a bed a delicately sliced summer squash. It brought out each lovely ingredient’s flavor, a flavor so distinctly homegrown. When you take the time and effort to take seeds, nourish them and ensure they grow into food, you taste the difference in vegetables’ taste. Reading The Third Plate has given me a greater sense of where my food comes from, and more importably the techniques used to get them onto our kitchens. So, I was proud of this simple dish, a lunch I quickly put together with ingredients picked from the garden a few steps from my kitchen.Raw Summer Squash Salad

      Hope winter isn’t too bad there, I’m trying to avoid the cooler months as long as I can. Best!

I love everything about entertaining. Flowers are my weakness, a slice of homemade pie makes my heart sing & I’m a sucker for wedding videos. I dream about these things, it’s true. But what I love most, is working with amazing people to create meaningful & unique celebrations…..

Instagram post 2193145886518090006_20110111 Words for the weekend, the holiday season & every other day of the year!✨And yes I photocopied & framed this from the latest issue of Magnolia Journal, it pretty much sums up my approach to the holidays this year.....
reusing what I already have,
woods & greens to celebrate
the beauty in Mother Nature’s bareness,
fairy lights that remind me of starry night skies
& this little penguin (who has been my only 
non-necessary purchase) because I love 
penguins & it makes me smile 
every time I’m at my desk working🐧❄️🌿
Instagram post 2192265495171179698_20110111 A little but special throwback to our Gift Wrap & Give Back Holiday Party! We gathered up the gals for some bites, wrapped donated gifts & wrote cards - all for kids who don’t get to celebrate the holidays or receive the kind of gifts most do....this is one of the easiest ways you can get together w. friends this holiday season while doing some REAL good!

Grab your friends, have them each donate a toy/gift for a local community drive or a family in need, then have each person bring a dish & something to wrap with! Get all the ideas for this party on the blog & make your own special “Give Back” holiday party💚
Instagram post 2190101455565098681_20110111 December ..... while most dive into the crazed chaos, I will honor your Slowness🌿I will still celebrate the things I love about the holiday season, but I will do it in a more natural way; an homage to the restorative & simplistic beauty of Mother Nature this time of year.

I will continue to be grateful, showing my kindness & love towards others, even if it’s a simple act of baking cookies or giving away a coat.

I will reflect & cherish all the days before. I will live in each present moment, but also dream & envision new plans for goals I know I’m on my way to achieving, new places to explore, new adventures, new people to meet.

I will continue to learn & grow into an even better version of myself as I celebrate the final days of another year & the beginnings of a new.....✨
Instagram post 2187181187284835024_20110111 Grateful. For the good, the bad, the unpredictable...grateful for it all! Hope you all spend your Thanksgiving well, may it bring you comfort & joy🧡🍁
