Alida's Weekly Recap - 8/14-8/20

Hello everyone! It's hard to believe that it's mid-August already.  If you are lucky enough to have a vegetable garden, then you are probably up to your ears in zucchini.  And if that is the case, I am SO jealous!   To channel my zucchini envy, I have been supporting our local farmers and very busy in the kitchen.  As a result, I will be featuring delicious zucchini recipes all throughout next week!


In the meantime, let's recap the week.  This past week I shared with you:


Lime Tart - done light!

Creamy, refreshing and light spin on Key Lime Pie!     



Mushroom and Spinach Frittata with Smoked Gouda

Earthy mushrooms, lots of spinach and the smoked gouda makes this so good (so gouda? hee hee!)




Magic Burgers

These quick and easy flavorful burgers are perfect for your next grill out.








There were so many delicious recipes floating around this week!  Here are just a few of the many recipes from other blogs that caught my eye:

Goat Cheese, Spinach & Oven Roasted Tomatoes Bruschetta from From Cupcakes to Caviar - I am SO making these this weekend.

Zucchini Cheddar Drop Biscuits from A Cozy Kitchen - I love the ease of drop biscuits.

Peach Heart Muffins from Flourtrader - A peach cooked in schnapps suspended in a muffin - wow!

Peanut Butter Pretzel Truffles from blackjack bakehouse - Peanut butter.  Chocolate.  Pretzels.  Need I say more?

Whole Wheat Bread from Cooking Healthy for Me - Helpful step-by-step tutorial and a tasty recipe.

The Best Brownies in the World from Cravings of a Lunatic - How could I pass these by with a name like that!


Enjoy the rest of your weekend and I'll see you next week!
