Summer is for Dining Al Fresco
While dining out one night at Mario Batalis Babbo, he said to me the pearl Crostada is Love. Yes, my friends, food is love, so serve it up!!

We are particularly lucky to be served up love by the earth with the bounty of food Mother Nature provides. In preparing for summer, I love planting with my children. We plant fresh herbs (although my sage is the lone survivor) and flowers (my sunflowers are late bloomers). With each dig into the soil, Im more amazed at how it all works. We put a seed into soil, add water, sunshine and it grows into something we can eat. Thats a simple recipe for success.
