Taco Salad

I found this recipe on My Wonderful World blog. For the taco seasoning I used a blend of cayenne pepper, cumin, oregano, chili powder and salt. Chris added tomatoes, olives, celery, carrots, red onion, and grated cheese to the red leaf lettuce. We used multi grain Nacho chips in place of the burrito shell, but I would like to try that. We also mixed the salsa with the sour cream to make a dressing which we served on the side.

Fried Squash Flowers and Sesame Noodles

Hurray we have photos!

For starters we had Fried Squash Flowers. I remember stopping by my Uncle Art's house and he would give me a greasy paper bag filled with fried squash flowers. I would eat them all by the time I got home.
I picked these flowers at my dad's yesterday. I used flour and club soda for the batter. Nice!

For dinner I was reading Carol Egbert's blog about Sesame Noodles and knew I had to make it. I always thought that Sesame Noodles had peanut butter as an ingredient. Guess I was wrong. Chris had grilled some Chicken to go with the dish. Excellent summer meal.
