The Daily Balance

‘Tis the season for fresh vegetables! I recently took advantage of the season’s latest offerings and ordered a grilled vegetable salad along side wild-caught Alaskan salmon. The salad included grilled zucchini, peppers, portabella mushrooms, artichoke and crumbled feta cheese – all tossed in a tomato and balsamic reduction.

As much as I would like to take credit for this amazingness, I must admit I ordered it at a restaurant. My parents treated me and my brother (the Mister couldn’t join us!) to a delicious dinner at an adorable restaurant in Gates Mills, Sara’s Place.

Just take a look at how fresh and delicious this looks! We sat outside on the restaurant’s adorable patio and enjoyed the beautiful summer weather.

   Fave summer veggie?! That’s such a hard question! Haha! Probably some kind of squash or a fresh vine-ripened tomato. Ooh, or corn. Oh jeez, I could go on and on.

   Can’t wait to read your article-I’ll be checking that out next.

   Love,

   Tomatoes – especially the heirloom ones at the end of the summer. Those are a fruit though, so I guess the farmers’ market squash and purple cauliflower. Yum!
