What's for dinner?

This last weekend I was down in southern California and if you were there you would also know it was really hot! Very hot! When it is hot at night and you can't sleep, Pinterest is to the rescue!

I found this recipe Saturday night and have not stopped thinking about it since.

I added a special touch of our traditional balsamic... It really took it to the next level!

It's a winner at our house, look how much Andrew liked it!

Fried Chicken and Everclear: #riverrat

For Labor day weekend a few friends and I went to the Colorado river in Parker, CA/AZ! Not sure what is the right state. 

The weekend was filled with boat rides, sunsets, coors light, floating beer pong, and pasties.  In addition we enjoyed some river favorites, Fried Chicken from Manor Market and Road Rapers from the Roadrunner floating dock.   

Ready for Some FOOTBALL!

And to try some Pinterest recipes! I have been pining for the last few months saving recipes to make for  guests, but we have been so busy we haven't had anyone over for a few weeks.  Well the time has come that I get to try 2 pinned recipes.

First for an appetizer dip while watching the game I made The Food Gospel According to Ruth's, Caprese Dip!  I used Ruth's recipe for the most part but added ricotta to add more volume and a lighter consistency.  I think it worked while it was hot, but I hated the textured when it cooled.  I need to find something to keep my dips warm, I was thinking a crock pot, but that isn't cute on the coffee table!

I drizzled some of our amazing balsamic vinegar on top from the wine fest! 

This year I have had a serious thing for peaches, and reasonably so because they are sooooo good!  You can see on my Yummy board many peach recipes.  The one I pinned from Bakerella's blog is a Peach Cake Crumble.  In true Sarah fashion, I have to add my own adjustments.  Instead of canned peaches, I used fresh peaches sautéed in a stick of butter and sprinkled brown sugar and let them soften and get really juicy!

Finally I got to use my new plates!!! They are so small, but I love them! 

By the way, who won the game?
