This might come in handy this summer. I know it’ This might come in handy this summer. I know it’s in a bowl😂💪🏻. It’s pico slaw. Any color shredded cabbage blended with pico ingreds. Tomato cilantro hot peppers and onion. Use what you have. Dressed with the usual salt mayo acid sugar blend. Except this time the acid is lime/lemon juice. Go light on the mayo and sugar. Should be tangy. Fantastic with any kind of tacos Grilled meats sausages fish shrimp. This a def one of the small ways I’ve succeeded in contributing to the greater good. #slaw #salad #picodegallo 🥗🤸🏼#oldfavoriterecipe
My pastry chef friend Mary told me her secret for My pastry chef friend Mary told me her secret for insuring that a juicy fruit pie keeps its shape and the fruit doesn’t get too mushy. Assemble it, freeze it, and then bake it. Here’s an informal peach pie made with some leftover pie dough. Works like a charm. She also sprinkles a mix of flour and sugar over the unbaked bottom crust. No more soggy bottom. #peachpie #pie

Your #plattersalad practice means everyday. Not ju Your #plattersalad practice means everyday. Not just important salads. Here we’ve got a big Cherokee tomato sticks of cucumber roasted corn and Vidalia onion slivers all on a plate covered with a creamy layer of buttermilk dressing. No big deal but gorgeous. Also the dressing underneath lets the delicate ingredients float on the dressing. Tastes like summer in Tennessee. #saladbrain. Relax and make some decisions. See what happens. It’s okay. #salad #saladsofinstagram

Nothing better than a carport party. R.B. is fini Nothing better than a carport party. R.B. is finishing the ribs with a quick glazing on the old portable kitchen grill dad got back in the early 1960s. Everyone arriving soon! #pkgrills.
Listen to your platter. Sometimes it tells you wh Listen to your platter. Sometimes it tells you what to do. Thanks platter for the color palette. My parameters: clean salad to go with @rbquinnstagram Father’s Day smoked brisket and ribs. You always need something to cut through all that fatty meat. Of course we’re having slaw and potato salad too! All colors and cut shapes of cherry tomatoes. Cucumber half moons. Hot peppers for dad. Vidalia onion slivers and chive sticks. My #saladbrain likes the salad to look not overly touched but deeply felt. Haha! Dressing is simplest vinaigrette light on the oil. Salads don’t exist in isolation. What are your occasion and meal parameters? #platteralthinking. #plattersalad #salad #saladsofinstagram
My muse the lettuce platter does it again. This c My muse the lettuce platter does it again. This combo takes the #Capresesalad out for a ride. Tomato mootz basil meet up with nectarines mint fennel and onion. Fennel mimics the licorice taste of the basil. Mint and basil are in the same family. All the yellows oranges and reds of tomatoes and nectarines are the same! Onion and spicy nasturtium flowers take it further to the savory side. Need some black pepper! #salad #saladsofinstagram #plattersalad #saladbrain #platteralthinking
My nasturtiums are outrageous this year. They hav My nasturtiums are outrageous this year. They have really thrived this cooler spring. I did nothing special just threw in the seeds. Great example of A split complementary color scheme. Analogous yellows oranges to red with their complementary green. And you can’t beat the shape of those beautiful leaves. They taste like very peppery hot radishes. Yes. I should be using my #saladbrain and making a #plattersalad with the leaves and the flowers. 🥗💪🏻
#beets mint kalamata olives red onion slivers and #beets mint kalamata olives red onion slivers and feta. First the cooked beets are tossed in vinegar sugar. No other dressing necessary. Olives and salty feta umami. Fresh mint accents earthiness of beets. All reds with pop of green and bright white that’s slowly turning pink. #saladbrain. #platteralthinking. #plattersalad. Green dish a nice touch. #saladsofinstagram
#greenchile potato frittata. Thinly sliced potatoe #greenchile potato frittata. Thinly sliced potatoes tossed with a little oil and salt pre-roasted a bit makes a frittata so much easier to make. I don’t flip. I broil. Straightest route to success.
Yay! It’s lamb’s ear season. Got a great crop Yay! It’s lamb’s ear season. Got a great crop of mint and lots of parsley that’s taken over the rock path this year to go with the hydrangea. #yardflowers.

Well Lard is now permanently on my shopping list. Well Lard is now permanently on my shopping list. And it’s not because I’m making tons of biscuits and pie crust. Thanks to @sunnybax I’m into serious suet production. I love making stuff that everyone likes! No complaints only happy birds. I’m now really good friends with the standoffish mockingbirds. And the woodpeckers. No one can hang out with enough woodpeckers. All you need is a cheap suet basket and some where to hang it. Hours of fun!
No need to forage around the yard today. I let my No need to forage around the yard today. I let my smart talented friends @greendoorgourmet do the work. Talk about having fun stuff in the yard or field to play around with. I think I’ll get back to my ikebana using some of these gorgeous poppies and lamb’s ear from my yard. This just proves that colorwise Everything goes with everything! BTW they have strawberries!
