Thanks to Maria, I received a big bad of luscious big lemons from California this week. Nothing like those little ones at the grocery store. Yummy! Tonight after school I baked up this batch of lemon scones. Wonderful with breakfast for dinner...something we are doing once a week thanks to all the eggs our chickens are providing. These would also be great just with a cup of tea.

Roasted corn, avocado and shrimp salad
It is beginning to heat up here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Tonight I just did not want to heat up the kitchen. This salad with a few slices of french bread were perfect. Open a bottle of wine and enjoy on your deck in the sun.

Mango Curried Chicken and Pasta Salad
I had this for lunch recently at a local restaurant and wanted to try to see if I could make something similar at home. This salad would be great without the meat for those of you who prefer a vegetarian meal. It is a nice lunch or light dinner. I found this recipe on Eating Well.
12 0z. penne cooked al dente
1 tablespoon curry powder,
1/2 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
1/2 c. plain yogurt
1/3 cup mango chutney
1 t. turmeric
1/2 re pepper chopped into thin strips
1/2 c. green onion (optional).
Mix all ingredients together and chill until served.
