The warm weather has arrived and it's time to adjust our eating patterns and change up the food varieties. Heavy meat dishes and winter vegetables should be out of your mindset and it's time to think about the beautiful colors of fresh fruits and vegetables this summer. Don't know what to eat???? Think color palettes!
-Shrimp with mango slices, frissee, and beefsteak tomatoes - drizzled with balsamic vinegar (or fresh lemon) and olive oil. Enhance with a sprig of mint.
-Brown rice with fresh lemon drizzled over it, served with 2 eggs over easy and steamed brocoli on the side with fresh sweet cherry tomatoes...oh yum yum!
-Freshly shucked peas, tossed in lemon scented fettucini with smoked trout, oyster mushrooms, rosemary infused seasalt and a bit of fresh light creme. Side green salad.
-Roasted red peppers, feta cheese and tossed mixed green salad with a nice piece of grilled river trout drenched in lemon and garlic.
