Fiesta Friday #176

Summer is officially here! For me, that is. But for the rest of you, sorry to say it’ll take a few more days…

Oh, I’m just teasing you…which only proves how happy and free I feel.


Yesterday, as soon as I came home from work, I went straight to my backyard and ransacked my garden. Then I ransacked my fridge and freezer.

Then with a little stir here, and a little shake there, I was ready to celebrate my freedom in style. Woohoo!!

summer-drinks | fiestafriday.net

Here’s a toast to us all! We deserve it, cheers!!

And now, features!

Eccles Cakes with a Difference from Hilda @ Along the Grapevine

“These unusual eccles cakes with a touch of spruce flavour are the perfect picnic food.” — Monika

“The wannabe-forager in me loves a recipe like this, unexpected and unique. But above all, it uses ingredients otherwise overlooked or considered weeds. It goes to show how much free foods are out there in the wild, if you’re willing to investigate and explore a little. Spruce tips are actually one of my favorite Spring-time nibbles when I’m out working in my backyard!” — Angie

Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp from Lily @ Little Sweet Baker

“I love the combination of strawberries and rhubarb! The crisp looks perfect and seasonal and totally delicious!” — Suzanne

Carob Bacon Donut Dog Treats from Jessica @ Living La Vida Holoka

“Well, all I can say is that Percy better guard those donuts because I just may eat them myself. They look so delicious!!” Suzanne

Lemon Lemon Meringue Cupcakes from Jenny @ Jenny is baking

“OMG, I love these cupcakes! I am a sucker for anything lemon and the cupcakes look positively ethereal, fluffy, light and so so yummy!!” — Suzanne

***

Now, let’s party! Join Fiesta Friday #176 by adding your link. Don’t forget to link your post to FiestaFriday.net and the co-hosts’ blogs, so we can feature you. Your cohosts this week are Monika @ Everyday Healthy Recipes and Jhuls @ The Not So Creative Cook

If you’re new to Fiesta Friday, please read the guidelines.

      No need for recipe, Jhuls! Just ransack your supplies, muddle herbs and fruits in a glass or shaker with a little sugar, add seltzer, ice cubes and that’s it! See, so easy! ? Thanks for cohosting! ?

          Oh you can get fancy and add this and that, of course. And strain to make it look pretty (I did) but basically, drinks are easy.

      Who said the gardening is done? It’s never done, Lily! ?? You’re too cute! And I love your easy recipe. I happen to have both strawberries and rhubarb in the garden. My rhubarb though, is green, and after cooking it looks kinda yucky ☹️ Maybe I need to plant a different variety.

      Enjoy the good weather, Petra! I was out and about in the garden today. A little humid, though. Then I found a bunny feasting on my broccoli, but it was so scrawny I didn’t have the heart to shoo it away ? I can always buy my broccoli ?

        Hi Angie someone once told me grow 10-20% for nature and the rest for you. I hope the little bunny left you some of the broccoli! I would do the same as you! It is getting hotter and hotter here, just amazing I hope you have a spell of the same lovely weather! x

      Lucky you! Wish we could have Spring a little longer here, or forever ? I hate it when it’s cold but I hate it more when it’s hot. I can never win! ?

        You are right! It’s never the right weather. I have the same thing. Don’t like too hot more than I don’t like the cold. And this after living in the tropics of all my life. I’m staying indoors if the temp hits 30 degrees.

    I’m thinking of you enjoying that summer weather Angie – here in Sydney we face the shortest day of the year tomorrow and so it’s about as cold as it gets (high single digits)….

      I always find it fascinating that when it gets warm here, you guys over there are settling in for the cold ? Single digits, though, is too cold!! Wish it could be Spring forever. Or Fall ?

    Thanks so much Angie for the feature and the kind words. I was out of town for a few days and just checked in to FF to see what was happening – lovely surprise. I’m always so pleased when anyone recognizes the value of some of the wonderful flavours out there just waiting to be used. I’m glad you are enjoying the summer break in style.
