Cioppino (Seafood Stew)

For Father’s Day I made my husband his favorite dish, Cioppino. Cioppino is a seafood stew originating in San Francisco.

It’s an Italian-American dish and is typically made with the catch of the day. Or in my case whatever is on special and looks good! I decided on mussels, calamari, cod, shrimp, and crab.

Summer Strawberry Rosemary Sangria

Sangria is definitely one of my favorite drinks. It’s super delicious and easy to make.

You can add any type of fruit you like. I had some strawberries, lime, and oranges I needed to use, and I thought that would make a great combo for summer. Well, it’s not actually summer yet, but close enough.

Strawberry Blueberry Spinach Salad

Ahhh! Summer is in the air! This is one of my favorite summer salads to eat. I just love all berries!  Since I live in a pretty rural area it is easy to find local berry picking farms. Nothing tastes sweeter than picking a fresh berry and popping it right into your mouth!

This salad is also perfect to take to picnics and it pairs wonderfully with a poppy seed dressing or balsamic vinaigrette.

Now I am wondering why I didn’t try this sooner. It was so easy and oh so yummy!
