Here is proof that things do grow in the desert. That gargantuan zucchini came from my friends’ garden! Pretty impressive huh? And here is something I am so glad I purchased… a giant muffin pan. Because seriously, the truth is, I make muffins, I consume two or three and then just feel guilty about it. So, I figure one monster one will satisfy my tummy and my mind. Perfect solution to my problem I think. I recommend you get one and make some of these breakfast beauties.

Yesterday was one of those hot days where I was craving a fresh, cool bowl of soup. I realize to some people, the idea of eating cold soup is not too appealing, so fear not, this soup is also great warmed, but I would say, sit in the sun for a bit and the idea of chilled soup might be more tempting.

I distinctly remember the first time I had gazpacho. Being ignorant to its lack of heat, I swallowed a spoonful and nearly died of laughter because I had blown on the spoon to cool it off for a full 30 seconds. Shocking at first, but as I warmed up to it, I loved how fresh and bright it was. I would simply say, warn your guests so they don’t foolishly puff away at their spoons!
