Strawberry Banana Oatmeal drizzled with Honey

Mmm Mmm Good!

I ♥ when fresh berries are in season! I try to incorporate them into meal time as often as possible. 

Most folks do this at breakfast but we're not breakfast people around here.

Correction, I'M not a breakfast person.

Correction again, I'm not a breakfast 'morning' person. 

Haha, at least I own it, right?  :)

Since I'm not a morning breakfast person (coffee, YES please!) 

I enjoy making sweet but healthy breakfast dishes that 'fill us up' without 'filling us up' for dinner.

(Catch what I did there? ;) )

I think oatmeal works exceptionally well, all n all, as it is a perfectly delicious base 

helping to display your summertime sweet rewards front and center.

It's hearty, healthy and it is a snap to prepare in 10 minuets (or less)!

I used four ingredients:

• Oatmeal (I used Quaker Quick Oats)
• 1 thin sliced banana
• 4-5 strawberries, sliced
• Honey

Add sliced berries to the center of the oatmeal mound, layering banana slices around outer edge. 

Next, drizzle honey over all for a light sweet addition to the oats. 

Definitely a meal deal on evenings when its still topping at a whopping 108 outside!

Whew, help me I'm melting! :)

Breakfast can be made as decadent or as savory as you desire. 

Simply depends on how much time you want to spend in the kitchen. ⏰

Me, on nights like tonight - Um, no, not so much... 

Even with air conditioning, once the heat zaps you - you're just simply zapped. 

So this chic is gonna re-hydrate, replenish and relax with hubs! ♥

 

Dinner has been served! 

  

We also included a couple slices of buttered toast along side our bowl of goodness. 

Add pecans, cranberries, blueberries, bacon :) ~ whatever your hunger craves.  

What is your favorite breakfast meal to make for dinner?

Crunchy Zucchini Bites

Crunchy Zucchini Bites

Have you noticed summer is here?

I assure you it is peaking in my neck of the woods.  Bringing record-breaking, scorching, hell-like heat with it too! WOW! Sadly, for many of my garden edibles the heat has been nothing less than brutal. The increased temps left me just a single zucchini ready for picking this morning.

Hmph! Nature can be a beast sometimes.

Being this beauty was good size I decided I wanted to stretch it between the hubs & I as a side.

And I Did! Just look at these crispy bites of yum! Here is how I did it:

  

• 1 zucchini
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 cup panko bread crumbs
•  2 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• salt/pepper to taste

1. Peel zucchini then cut into 1/8" rounds
2. Grate 1/2 cup parmesan cheese into the Panko, add garlic powder & mix well
3. Beat 2 eggs
4. In a fry pan, heat some oil to medium - high
5. Dredge the rounds in your flour
6. dip thoroughly in egg
7. press into the panko parm breading mix being sure to cover each side
8. Fry in batches about 2-3 minutes each side until the centers are soft and the outside is crispy, crunchy golden brown .
9. Remove from oil, place on paper towel salting to taste

These lovelies were paired with grilled chicken, fluffy potato and out of this world crunchy zucchini bites! If you're a texture person as I am, then you will enjoy the crispy crunch ~ A total knock out thanks to the Panko (Japanese bread crumbs).

During all seasons we get to enjoy grilling thanks to my counter-top grill. Electric, removable grate & removable drip pan. ♥♥♥



Such an effective way to
bring the flavors & textures of outdoors inside without feeling the heat!

If you enjoy grilling as much as I do, but don't want to melt in the rising temperatures outside, here is a newer version counter-top grill by Hamilton Beach   https://amzn.to/2LuVlpFd. 

Time to get your grill on!
