Fiesta Friday #381

It’s been so warm lately. Too quickly and too soon, IMO. I much prefer a lengthy spring season.

On the other hand, the heat has afforded me a convenient excuse to avoid cooking.

Hey, as Harry S. Truman said, if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Sounds perfectly reasonable to me.


And that’s why our meals, as of late, have morphed to look like this:

Korean Lettuce Salad | FiestaFriday.net

Blackberry Smoothie & Lemonade | FiestaFriday.net

What.

Salad and smoothie days are happy days, IMHO.

From Last Week’s Fiesta

S’mores Cookies

“First of all, who can say no to S’mores, seriously. And these S’mores Cookies are such a cool idea. I’m making them ASAP.” — Angie

Lemon Cheesecake Ice Cream

“Well, I have a weakness for cheesecake and ice cream both, a wonderful combination.” — Liz

Bar-B-Que Kick’en Chicken

“Our grill has been sitting idle since the Grillmaster is too busy with work, but this chicken sounds so good I might just attempt to operate the grill by myself. Can’t be too hard, right?!” — Angie

House Brand Catsup

“Who knew that you could make delicious (and definitely healthier) catsup so easily!” — Liz

***

      The Kick’en Chicken is perfect for Memorial Day BBQ, Miz Helen. I’m so ready for the long weekend. One more week!

    I wish it would warm up here… We’re having the coldest May in decades!
    But…
    What a lovely feature selection. I could happily devour all of them.
    Thanks for hosting and have a great week. xx

      Oh, really? The weather seems so unpredictable this year. For us it’s been so dry, too. And now we’re waiting for the arrival of the 17-year cicadas. I heard it’s going to be biblical. I don’t know if I should be excited or scared ?

      • Of Goats and Greens says

        May 22, 2021 at 12:59 pm

        A bit of each? Wishing you well with the invasion, but at least I understand they don’t denude your crops or plantings.

        • Angie says

          May 22, 2021 at 5:23 pm

          That’s what I heard, too, and I’ve actually experienced cicadas before, back when I lived in the Midwest. They’re very loud, but harmless. Quite pretty, too, in an odd way ?

    OMG, what a beautiful salad! We had snow yesterday and a bit more today in my neighborhood…thank you for featuring my House Brand Catsup, I appreciate it! Thanks for hosting, and enjoy your week ahead.

      Thanks! Snow in May, wow! I would love some snow right now actually ? Your catsup recipe is a revelation to me. Never thought about homemade ketchup before, but it’s actually a great idea. You can make your own variations, spicy…sweet…whatever you like!

    • Of Goats and Greens says

      May 22, 2021 at 1:00 pm

      Uh… snow??? Have a good week no matter what, however.

    We’re freezing here on the east coast of Australia lol, so it’s warm stews & casseroles for us!
    Thank you for hosting!
    Blessings,
    Jennifer

      Warm stews sound good to me, anytime really. We’re staying indoors anyway and we have the AC blasting away ?

      We’re making more smoothies as we speak, Jhuls. Lots of strawberries and blackberries involved, my faves ? Thanks for cohosting! ❤️❤️
