Today was very hot however baking still seemed the thing to do with that huge box of magnificent blueberries - they're showing up at bargain prices now. Walked early with DH then prepared the blueberry cobbler. Loved this new recipe from Cooks Illustrated - biscuits have a little crunch with the added cornmeal.
Also made a traditional Tuscan Bread Salad - had some Ciabatta to use up and plenty of just picked from the garden tomatoes and basil. Tossed with cubed fresh mozzarella, a little minced garlic, freshly ground pepper, pinch of sea salt, and good fruity olive oil. Chill and serve. So Italian!
This all came together as a great Summer lunch - DH, granddaughter and I moved it into the screened gazebo after taking these pics - needed the cool breeze of the life saving ceiling fan!
Yum, gotta add a scoop of French Vanilla ice cream of course!
Italian peasant salad and Southern fruit dessert - way to go on a 95 degree day in North Carolina!

I have some blueberries in the fridge, will have with whipped cream. Your cobbler looks so good and yes to French Vanilla ice cream.
ReplyDeleteThe bread salad looks great. I've seen Rachel Ray make this salad, but I've never tried to make it. Might have to.
We've been having those kind of temps here, too.
