Seasonal Saturday and Fresh Food Friday!

Time just flies by when you're having fun!  From reading your blogs, it sure sounds like you had a great time and enjoyed some wonderful food and company over the holiday weekend!  Everyone is cooking up so many wonderful recipes these days and so now's the time and here's the place to link up, share, and show others what's been going in your kitchen or out on the grill.

I can't thank each of you enough for returning or if you're new to this link-up. Both oldies and newbies are selected for the weekly Featured Posts.  This is a great forum for foodies to find new bloggers just starting out or to invite them to discover the well-established blogs.
.
Now let's take a look at these lovely Featured Posts from last week!



Aren't these Mixed Berry-Kiwi Sorbets with Lemon and Basil just beautiful?  They were kindly shared by Amy at "U Try It"  This recipe is on my "must-make" list!

This Big Carrot Cake is just irresistible!  Just look at the amount of icing alone on this huge slice of sweet goodness that was shared by Lisa from "Sweet As Sugar Cookies".


A big welcome to Sam of "My Carolina Kitchen", who creates such interesting recipes such as this Crunchy Chicken Salad.  I love all of the colors in this dish!


Oh my gosh, chocolate is a weakness for so many of us!  This Deeply Chocolate Gelato is rich, creamy and heavenly that was shared by Jo at "Bees and Fleur de Lis".


What an outstanding and beautiful Berry Cheesecake shared by Sheryl at "Lady Behind the Curtain".  This is cake is just so over-the-top!  Welcome Sheryl!


This Drunken Asparagus with Prosciutto and Feta Cheese won 3rd place in a cooking contest due to the added flavor from a beer marinade.  Sometimes the most unexpected combinations turn out to be delicious!  Kudos to "The Local Cook".


Chipotle and Lime Buttered Corn on the Cob is one of the top trendy summer grilling items this season.  These flavors are so delicious together and brought to us by Jackie at "Lovin' My Domestic Life".

Good looking dishes Roz. Regarding Azaleas - I fertilized them the first few years with an azalea food, but nothing in several years. Were I to fertilize now it would be with organic Holly-tone (http://www.espoma.com/p_consumer/tones_holly.html) available almost everywhere fertilizer is sold.
