Egg Salad with Dill & Chives
Egg Salad with Dill & Chives are a bit hit. There is nothing like a really good egg salad sandwich. I think adding some fresh dill takes it to the next level.

Broccoli Slaw
I bought a bag of broccoli slaw. I love regular coleslaw, but I think I like this better. You could use toasted almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds instead of pistachios. The bacon is also optional. I actually did't put bacon in mine, too lazy.

Clementine, Burrata & Proscuitto Salad
Clementine, Burrata & Proscuitto Salad is an unexpected way to serve burrata cheese. Burrata is one of my favorite cheeses, which is a fresh Italian cheese, made from mozzarella and cream. The outer shell is solid mozzarella while the inside contains both mozzarella and cream, giving it an unusual, soft texture. The name "burrata" means "buttered" in Italian. Usually, one encounters burrata accompanied by tomatoes, basil and or pesto. I was lucky enough to tour Angelo & Franco - The Mozzarella Guys cheese facility a few years ago. They make amazing authentic Italian cheeses.

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.

Fig Salad with Crème Fraîche, Mint, and Prosciutto
Our fig tree is exploding. So I made this Fig Salad with Crème Fraîche, Mint, and Prosciutto. Having a fig tree is a mixed blessing. They are a huge mess and we basically have 1,000 figs that need eating. Here is one way to get the job done. Oh, did I mention we also have overgrown mint and a lemon tree?

Old Fashioned Banana Pudding
Banana pudding is a very old fashioned dessert generally consisting of repeated layers of sweet vanilla flavored custard, cookies (usually Vanilla Wafers or ladyfingers) and sliced fresh bananas placed in a dish and served, topped with whipped cream. It's so simple and yet so deliciously satisfying.
