August - September 2019

Dearest Readers,

It has been a beautiful summer so far! In celebration of this wonderful season I thought I would share some of my favorite summertime recipes with you.

What would summer be without Sangria I ask you! Well, wonder no more and try this…

Sangria A ‘La Moe

4 x 750 ml bottles of red sangria wine

1 x 750 ml bottle of good dry red wine

1 x 750 ml bottle of good dry white wine

13 oz inexpensive brandy

3 cups ginger ale

                                                                                   3 oranges 

                                                                                   3 limes

                                                                                   3 lemon

The day before serving:

Combine all liquid ingredients in a large glass container. Slice fruit thinly and add to liquid.

Refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to mellow – the way you and your friends will feel when drinking this brew. I have no idea how many this will serve, so feel free to experiment  using ½ or 1/3 of the quantities above if you want  – You know your friends better than I do!

Need a snack to go with your sangria? Try this pleasant variation on Spinach Salad:

Spinach Salad with Sour Cream Dressing

½ cup mayonnaise

½ cup sour cream

2 tbsp green onion, chopped

2 tbsp parley, minced

1 tbsp vinegar

2 tbsp lemon juice

1 to 2 garlic cloves, crushed

Fresh spinach – enough for 4-6 people (after it has been washed

                          and torn into bite-sized pieces)

1 cup fresh mushrooms sliced

In blender, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, onion parsley, vinegar,

lemon juice and garlic. Toss spinach and mushrooms with the dressing

and serve.
