This past week, it was a delight to cook for some friends. Cooking reminds me of how I love to be in my kitchen, and bring my people together around our table. We’ve also been enjoying meals outside by the fire, with our puffy jackets on, but oh, so beautiful.
We Flank Steak with Cocoa Chili Rub, served a Greek Pasta Salad with Grilled Corn Pineapple Salad (so good this time of year). If you’re a watermelon lover, you’ll have to try this Easy Watermelon Skewers!
Feta and Watermelon Bites
For a little nosh before dinner, this Watermelon Feta Bites Appetizer.
If you love watermelon feta salad, then these bites are a mini version of that.
Shauna Niquest says, Gather the people you love around your table and feed them with love and honesty and creativity.
What this means to me is that sometimes the conversation around the table is light and fluffy, and sometimes it’s meaty and robust.
We’ve always had honest conversation with our kids and that pattern continues today. And just as with our family, we love to ask questions when company comes to dinner. It makes the table interesting and fun.
Easy Watermelon Nosh
We’re totally ready to feast on life this summer … dinner with friends, hiking, picnics, meeting new people, neighbors, and investing in our town a little more.
Can’t wait.
I wish more people would realize that all you have to do is tell people you love them, then gather them together for a good comfort meal!
For now, enjoy this little nosh. ENJOY!
Happy weekend!

Hello and welcome to my home and table!

I love that quote you shared by Shauna! So good! I had some leftover watermelon in the fridge, some feta from the farmers market and just bought a basil plant so I tried a piece of this today. Oh YUM! it might be my summer go to lunch..lol.
Last weekend I hosted a baby shower for my daughter and I was reminded again how much I love providing good food for friends. In the season of life we are in, we don’t get opportunities to have people over often and sometimes it’s just the two of us and even then, it all depends on when hubby gets home from work…so I don’t cook near as often as I used to. Time to get creative with simpler meals and rethink what “dinner” means.
Love the simplicity of this!
Boy oh boy does this sound delicious! I’m in love with the combination of salty cheese with sweet fruit. I just bought watermelon this week for Memorial Day and it’s so juicy. Can’t wait to try this one! Thanks, Sandy :)
Love asking questions at the dinner table too! And this watermelon appetizer is genius!! YUM
