14 Day Sun Pickles , homemade dill pickles tailored to suit your taste, just not the traditional canning method. Simple pickling method that leaves you with a fantastic crunchy cucumber. Summer is here in East Texas, and cucumbers are beginning to make in the gardens. One of my favorite summer traditions at my house growing up was making 14 Day Sun Pickles with my Mother.

Spinach, Arugula and Apple Salad With Soy Sauce Toasted Pecans
With the summery weather here in Texas, I am increasing more salads in our menu. Salads do not have to be so boring, especially with the availability of so many different salad greens in the markets. One of my favorite combination of salad greens is spinach and arugula. This Spinach Arugula Salad tossed together with thinly sliced apples and Soy Sauce Toasted Pecans explodes in your mouth with the saltiness of the pecans and sweetness of the apples. My mouth is watering just sitting here typing the recipe. Are you ready to enjoy this wonderful salad --or are you willing to take it to a main course, serving it with some wonderful grilled chicken?
Strawberry Limeade {Sonic Strawberry Limeade Copycat}
Sonic Strawberry Limeade, made with freshly squeezed lime juice and sweetened strawberry syrup. All enjoy a tangy, sweet combination drink at one of America's drive-in fast food restaurants. Strawberries are so plentiful right now, giving me all kinds of recipe ideas. I had some strawberry juice leftover the other day from a recipe for Strawberry Sheet Cake Shortcake .
Spicy Asian Cucumber Salad
Spicy Asian Cucumber Salad, a flavorful side dish for any inspired Asian dishes. Crisp sliced cucumbers tossed in a spicy and sweet dressing. This is an easy and quick Asian Cucumber Salad , that I found to be very refreshing with these lingering high temperatures here in East Texas. It is sweet, sour, hot and salty--all of the components of the fours tastes of an umami explosion!
Grilled Asian Style Marinated Chicken {The Main Attraction}
This past Memorial Day weekend, we fired up the grill for this quick and yummy Grilled Asian Style Marinated Chicken , and you might say it was the main attraction . I am so excited to be grilling this year. Most of our grilling season last year was spent in the hospital with my husband. I am so very happy to say that this summer is not the case. My husband is continuing to improve and is well on his way to a full recovery. I have made this recipe several times in the oven with pork medallions as well as with chicken thighs, and they were delicious, but I must say the grill is my favorite.
