Good eats on the fly

Summer's been oh so good to me, but it's also felt like the entire time I'm juggling three yellow balls and one keeps flying off and I have to chase it down. There's never enough time to be caught up (or juggle mindlessly), or read a book, or take a nap, or bake a damn cake, cobbler, pie, etc. There have been a few good eats however that have gone undocumented on the blog. So here we go...

Delish pizza that was a little light on the cheese (oops, forgot to pick up mozarella at the store!)

Jamaican Icebox cookies that went from this...

To this. No matter how imperfect, the coconut and lime (ok, and butter) flavors made for a delish summer treat!

And how can I forget the french toast made with Great Harvest cinnamon chip bread?

Yum...

Spicy chicken to which I added kidney beans and then put on top of a bed of spinach for me and brown rice for him.

Topped with salsa, avocado, a little greek yogurt and sharp cheddar cheese, it was a belly pleasing meal!

And guess who just picked up the following ingredients: organic strawberries, Bisquick and whipping cream? Now you tell me what's cookin'!

Elaborate recipes definitely seem to be the first thing to go from my life when things get busy. I'm aching for some serious hours in the kitchen so maybe in a few months when this whole summer thing comes to an end, I might find a few hours. For now, my goal is simply to make it to a blueberry farm and another local produce farm before summer's end. Where does the time go?!
