So, I have been loving the colors of food! During the summer, there are so many colorful ways to prepare meals. I know, I am kind of strange, but when I make something especially pretty, I like to take a picture of it and now I am going to share my random food pictures with all of you wonderful people who actually look at my blog! I invited my husband to help me blog, but he really didn't seem that interested (as in he said "yay" in a very sarcastic tone). That is sort of okay with me because it means that occasionally I can put up pictures of him that he may not appreciate all that much and I have control over what pictures of myself go up on my blog. :)So this is the marvelous fruit salad that I made. To be honest, some of the fruit was not quite as good as it often is, but it was so pretty! It had watermelon, red and green grapes, nectarines, peaches, blackberries, and blueberries. It was yummy but huge. It took us nearly a week to eat all of it!
This I made tonight. Our garden is producing an abundance of squash and we don't really know what to do with it all. I have lots of things to do with zucchini, but not a lot to do with squash. We also have lots of tomatoes. So, I threw them together and it looked pretty but needed something green. Therefore, I added green peppers! So pretty and SO YUMMY!This is not quite as pretty as the others but it still looked cool in the pan and was very yummy as well.
Now you have seen some of the yummy and pretty food we have eaten this summer and also something of my random mind.

Pan Dulce!

So, I have been craving pan dulce, or sweet bread forever, but since my sweet husband loves it too and can no longer eat it, I haven't purchased any because I didn't want to make him feel bad. Yesterday I was out with my siblings and they were getting ice cream and there just happened to be a panaderia next door. I couldn't resist any longer. I ran over and got some of my favorites. I was sad because they didn't have any with anise in it, but I did get some of my favorites. Eating pan dulce, of course made me think about Mexico and some of my favorite people. I can't believe it has been over a year since we got home. I miss you guys! And I miss all the yummy Mexican food that was so cheap there and is either not available here (like Manzanita Sol!) or is more expensive!
