There were so many terrific posts last week that I had such difficulty selecting features! If you didn’t view the linked posts on the last fiesta, I’d suggest that you do so. Pronto!!
I’ve already marked many linked recipes to try, and as soon as the weather cools down, I’ll start one by one. It’s way too hot to even think about cooking right now. And that’s why lately our meals look like this:
That meal I ostentatiously named La Salade Du Jour, but really it was just a big platter of ingredients. It was a convenient way of serving multiple people with varying tastes. Plus, there wasn’t much cooking involved, other than boiling eggs and potatoes, and blanching green beans. Was that smart or what, huh…huh?!
Now take a look at some of the terrific posts from last fiesta
“Rose Petal Jam sounds so special, doesn’t it? Something I imagine fairies would eat. I did make rose petal jam early this summer, but beyond using it as ice cream topping, I didn’t know what else could be done with it. I’m excited to try some of the suggested ideas in this post.” — Angie
“What a superb appetizer this is. Perfect timing for those who grow zucchini, too.” — Angie
“[This] is one of those recipes that haunts you until you make it! It’s got it all, hero looks, great ingredients, and some of my all-time favorite flavors!” — Mollie
“What! My jaw literally dropped when I saw this. And I couldn’t stop laughing at the over-the-top garnishes. A drink that can double as a meal, with the added entertainment value needs to be on everybody’s menu, lol!” — Angie
“Omg, homegrown quail eggs, how exciting!! If one day I can raise my own quail, I shall follow Diann’s explanations. So much information here.” — Angie

Lovely round up Angie, wonderful array of recipes here. Thank you for hosting
No problem, my pleasure ?
Ah, those quail eggs look familiar!! Thanks for featuring this today!
You’re welcome. I enjoyed reading it.
Thank you so much for including my Rose Petal Jam in the round-up. I love your comment about it being something fairies would eat! (I’m definitely inspired to try the Ultimate Bloody Mary recipe too!!)
That Ultimate Bloody Mary is such a terrific idea. Once the pandemic is over, I’ll have a party and I will serve something like that. I think a lot of people will enjoy it!
so many good ideas I don’ tknow where to start. 🙂 I”m liking your meal idea – full of options for everyone and low maintenance for the person making it! Thanks for hosting! I brought by some Seared Salmon with Lemon Butter Pasta. Hope you enjoy. 🙂
I know, right?! That salad platter will be great for a party, too. That and the ultimate Bloody Mary.
Thank you for another GREAT party full of inspiring ideas and recipes. I love this week’s features. I brought my updated Chicken Cacciatore, Balsamic Fruit Glaze and Blueberry Lime Cheesecake. I hope you have a GREAT week.
I’m liking the sound of that balsamic fruit glaze!
Lovely round up Angie. Thank you to you and your co-hosts for hosting. Always inspired to see what other people make and eat and always love to share too.
Thank you for featuring my Zucchini Roll Ups. They have to be one of the easiest appetisers going! x
I love the zucchini roll ups! I grow round zucchini this year, probably not the best variety for roll ups, but I can adapt the idea with eggplants maybe?
that is the best salad i have seen in weeks. I am sure a lot of these ingredients are already growing in your backyard. I am waiting to harvest my potatoes for the very first time. love it – bringing my roasted eggplants to the party..
Thanks! Isn’t harvesting potatoes fun? I harvested mine too early and got mostly baby potatoes, but they were so good!
