Spinach-Strawberry Salad
Summer has arrived here on the East Coast in full force. And that means those sweet ruby gems that are the strawberry are in season and ready to be enjoyed! Strawberry picking is one of my favorite summertime activities. There are only a few weekends in late May and June that you can pick strawberries around here. It’s definitely worth the effort to make time during one of those weekends to go pick your own berries.

Tomatoes, sweet potatoes, avocados and winter squash. And now I’m obsessed with all of them!

Green beans! My dear mother apparently overcooked them, so until my adult years, I thought they were supposed to be brown and smushy.
Thankfully, I know the truth: green and slightly tender is the good green bean.
I used to dislike onions because I read they make you tear when you cut them. Turns out they’re all right to eat.
