Hi, there, Fiesta Friends! I’m back from the beach and have withdrawal symptoms!
All I want to do is go back to the beach, drink piña colada, and eat lobster rolls.
I ate a horrendous amount of lobsters when I was in Montauk. My daughter fairly branded me a glutton. And I probably had too much piña colada. That’s my way of pretending I was on some tropical island paradise.
Montauk is not without its charms, mind you.
But can it compare to let’s say… Maui? Probably not. But then again, I could be biased. Our Hawaiian vacation several years ago remains, to this day, my favorite vacation of all.
I’m still plotting my way back there again. Wish me luck!
For now though, let’s do less plotting, and more fiesta-ing!
First, take a look at these
Summer Squash Cake from Nancy @ NancyC
“[This cake] is just the thing for easy entertaining! You know the spices have to be delicious and that cake is going to be super moist!” — Mollie
“I can’t wait to turn my zucchini/summer squash into this cake. After all, how much grilled zucchini/summer squash can you eat?!” — Angie
“Desserts made into bars are always a winner and with seasonal stone fruit – just perfect! These look amazing and I can’t wait to make them!” — Laurena
“Oh yeah, this is the next thing I’ll be making after Nancy’s cake (above). What a clever idea turning peach cobbler into bars!” — Angie
“What a great combination of flavors – perfect for summers on the deck, or on a picnic or outing!” — Mollie
“Muffins with strawberries and a crunchy top! Could they be any more scrumptious! I think we’ll move in to Jenny’s for the holidays! ?” — Laurena

You probably saw it on The Affair. It’s filmed in Montauk. The Lobster Roll restaurant, where I ate my share of seafood, is where the character Alison works.
Angie says
Oh, thanks for cohosting!
Jhuls | The Not So Creative Cook says
One of the TV series I’ve seen before, Revenge, one of the characters also lived in Montauk.
It’s my pleasure, Angie. I don’t think I’ll be able to bring something, but I started visiting our friends already, will continue the rest today. 🙂

Hi Everyone,
Nice to be with Fiesta Friday event this week!
Do check out how to make Ghee at home recipe and video.
Second, some interesting facts about “Green Pepper” Bumps, some have 3 and some have 4. What is the significance and do both peppers taste same?
Also, I am co-hosting this week’s FIESTA FRIDAY #287 and will be visiting and commenting on your posts as the official Fiesta Friday representative and features selector.
Look forward to a fun party!

Dropping by from #ChasingMYLife to bring my Blueberry Lemon Cheesecake, French Onion Pasta Bake and my Pan Seared Chicken with Browned Parsley Butter to the party. Thank you for hosting each week and hope you have a WONDERFUL week.

Thanks, Tamy! 🙂
Jenny Walters says
Thank you so much for featuring my Strawberry Muffins! Those lobster rolls sound delicious. I have never had one but always drooled over them! Thank you for hosting another great round up!
Angie says
No problem. Lobster rolls are actually pretty easy to make, once you get through cooking the lobsters and picking the meat off the shells. You should give it a try 🙂
