Hot Kitchen Months

Salmon Cakes with spicy remoulade

This is an old picture but it still looks good.  Salmon cakes with a spicy remoulade.   I don't even remember the recipe right off hand but will be sure to do a little digging at home.

So proud of my tomatoes

This is probably not the best time to start a blog.  The time I spend on creating new dishes and experimenting with cuisines is way below my average due to the fact that I don't have air conditioning in my kitchen and I'm 7-1/2 months pregnant with my first baby.  Dinners have been more revolved around how long my ankles will hold me up and how fast I can make something before I lose all ambition.   The upside to hot weather cooking is my tiny garden I planted outside and frankly there can't be a garden that gets more attention and love than mine.  I have been patiently waiting for my tomatoes to ripen and have a long list of recipes I want to experiment with.  Hurry up Tomatoes (and baby) !

Grilling corn at my Cinco De Mayo Party

GRILLED MEXICAN CORN
This is an easy way to spice up some summer corn. 
Ingredients:
Corn on the Cob
Mayonaisse
Sour Cream
Cilantro
Chili Powder
Lime Juice
White Mexcian Cheese
Boil the corn for a few minutes like you normally would cook corn on the cob.  In a bowl, mix together some mayonaisse and some sour cream.  Add a bunch of chopped cilantro, chili powder and lime juice (to taste).  Grill the corn until you have some charred spots and toss in the mayo mix or brush it on the corn and sprinkle with a white mexican cheese and sprinkle with more cilantro.
