Summer Salads for the Sensory
Australian Summers tend to be inhospitably hot, which makes me lean toward foods that don't require heating or much cooking. On days when I can fry an egg by cracking it onto the pavement (and promptly have a meltdown over the lack of hygiene), the last thing I want to do is spend time in close proximity to a hot stove.

WE ALL SCREAM...
Aaaaah!!! Summertime!!! The fragrant scented air – the unmistakable aroma of bodies on the hot sand frying themselves with everyone's favorite – Reef Oil – the heady scent of the coconuts that gave their lives so you could cook your skin to a crisp – not dissimilar to bacon if you stay out there long enough! The bronzed surfer dudes, nary a wet suit in sight, water dripping from golden locks...surfboards stabbed into the sand.

Can a foodie still save money?
I have always loved to cook. I find a lot of joy in it, and it calms me down. I love trying new things, and so I am always trying new recipes. For a while, I rarely made the same recipe more than once. Mainly because I have so many new recipes that I want to try, and every time that I cook I like to try a new thing. I can not draw, and so cooking is my creative outlet in many ways that helps calm my mind down.

American Taiyaki
My childhood summers always started with an “end of school” celebration at a friend's home. No matter which friend hosted it, the tradition was that we always began summer with grilled burgers and hotdogs. Our mouths watered as the juices from the glistening meat dripped into the fire, making sizzling sounds, while scents of warm heartiness and smoke filled the air. My friends’ parents were usually health conscious enough to provide green salads, which my friends and I all ignored, preferring to munch on salty, greasy chips and sweet medleys of fruit to stave off the growing hunger as we awaited the main course on the grill.

Resurrecting a Recipe
One of my dad's favorite jokes was that he only liked two types of pie: hot and cold. When I began baking, I knew I had to make him one for his birthday. However, I lacked three things at the time: experience, time, and finesse. To solve this problem, I adapted a quick cobbler recipe, and added pie filling instead. I dubbed the revised creation pie bars. Then, I just needed to pick a flavor.
