I immediately think of fresh herbs and everything grilled. Not to say you can't have fresh herbs in the winter, but I don't bring them in the house for the winter so if I want them, I buy them.
Summer is, by far, my favorite time of year to cook. Today I made a delish caprese salad with fresh mozzarella balls, fresh basil, tomatoes, some red onions(not too many, or else Matt wouldn't eat it), a little bit of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. It's so easy and it tastes so fresh!
I picked up some bone-in center cut pork chops at Country Peddler this afternoon and was soooo excited to grill them. All I did was brush some evoo on them, salt, pepper, thyme and rosemary. Simplicity is best when it comes to grilled food in my opinion.
They cooked for about 12-15 minutes on medium/low heat. I'm working on my grill lines. I remember watching a show on how to get the best grill lines (yes, a show on grill lines and I watched it). The pork chops were so juicy and good:). The salad gave me horrible breath from the onions but was so worth it!
In other food related news- I finally got my produce bags!!!! I ordered them from Love for Earth on Etsy on the 1st. Shipping was estimated at 4-8 days. I was planning on e-mailing to make sure my order didn't get lost today if they didn't come. But here they are! I can't wait to use them. Of course I picked up most of my produce today at C.P. but oh well.
