Summer Salad Time (and Izzy, of course)
Categories :
We have been spending a great deal of time with Izzy as you can tell by my last few posts. There are other things going on here but she is so much more interesting and she is so photogenic that it’s hard not to write about her. Steve is working long hours and weekends on getting a building ready for a new tenant. I am catching up on the yard work and my tennis game.
One of the best parts of tennis in Georgia is the ALTA tennis season. Even when I am not winning my tennis matches, I try to come up with winning recipes to share. This layer salad was a big hit at a recent match.
