Surreyfarms. A serene haven in the foothills of Northern California

This is a sweet refreshing salad with the cheesy tang of fresh feta and a mustardy vinaigrette. Cantaloupe adds not only a fruity flavor in this salad but also gives the salad some heft. Ā Then add in thinly sliced sugar snap peas, thinly sliced onions and cucumber and this becomes a delicious salad that is sweet, fruity, crunchy and tangy. Ā Served with some crusty bread and a chilled glass of anything drink, this makes for a wonderful light Sunday salad dinner on any hot sweltering summer evening.

Ā It turned out to be a wonderful relaxing afternoon with good friends and good food.

Deviled Eggs: Balsamic Bacon

Contains:Ā  Eggs.Ā  Is: Paleo, Whole 30 (depending on bacon source). Ā 

Recently (well, back in late July), for a picnic, I made deviled eggs.Ā  Hard-cooked 18 of them (the hens out back have been prolific), and brought three different recipes to the event.Ā  One was Momā€™s original one; another was found on CookingBites.com, a post by Morning Glory there; and the third was just considered from wanting a bacon deviled egg ā€“ which was originally supposed to be with the avocado I forgot to buy, then was going to be done with horseradish sauce (which Iā€™d neglected to return to the fridge overnight on a really HOT night), and so I settled on balsamic reduction as my primary/base seasoning (other than the bacon).
