Broccoli Cheddar Quiche
Yesterday, my daughter, Grace, cleaned out the freezer, cleaned the stove, the pantry, etc. She also made dinner - Caprese Salad, Broccoli Cheddar Quiche, and Brownies. I was told on several occasions to vacate the kitchen! I could get used to this!

Gazpacho
My daughter, Grace, made this Gazpacho. It was her mission. Gazpacho is probably the last thing she would ever eat, which proved to be true. She never even tasted it. Gazpacho is a tomato-based soup traditionally served cold, originating in the southern Spanish region of Andalucía. Gazpacho is widely consumed in Spanish cuisine, as well as in neighboring Portugal, where it is known as gaspacho.

Saturday Salad
My brother-in-law, Russell, sent me this Saturday Salad recipe that he made. Little did he know, I've made this salad for years. It's one of my all time favorites. I prepare everything ahead in the morning. It's from “The Cuisine of California” by Diane Rossen Worthington, which was given to me by my friend Barbie. The chicken breasts are first marinated and then baked, and the juices from the baked chicken are used as the basis the fragrant vinegar-garlic dressing.

Roasted Balsamic Potatoes, Onions and Broccoli
Some of my best recipes have come off the packages of products. This one I found on the side of a bag of Pacific Gold Baby White Potatoes. It was one of those things that I happened to have all the ingredients and I have a daughter whose is mad keen for balsamic soaked anything. It goes well with Uncle Russell’s Flank Steak.

Grilled Pineapple with Rum Sauce & Vanilla Ice Cream
This Grilled Pineapple with Rum Sauce & Vanilla Ice Cream is a great summer dessert. Grilling fruit is perfect so easy to prepare. By grilling it, the water and sugar in the fruit concentrate the flavors by reducing the water and caramelizing the natural sugars. Fruits like apples, pears, and pineapples, which are hard, are the easiest to grill since they hold their shape and texture while cooking. Softer fruits like peaches, nectarines, plums and mangoes will become soft and mushy if overcooked.

Spicy Caramelized Cauliflower with Raisins
Golden raisins, called "sultanas" outside the US, are made from the sultana grape, treated with sulfur dioxide to maintain their golden color, and dried either on the vine or on special drying racks. I love using golden raisins in salad and a variety of sautéed dishes. In the past, I have made Spinach with Raisins & Pine Nuts, Sautéed Brussels Sprouts With Bacon & Golden Raisins, and Swiss Chard with Golden Raisins & Almonds. Last night I used cauliflower. Adding red pepper flakes really compliments the sweetness of the raisins.
