It’s a fairly simple dish.


I like to keep food simple.

Simple is good.

Simple is just plain o’ simple and when you’re in a time crunch or you’re not in the mood to create a lavish dish, simple is just about all you need.


Especially when it’s summer.

And all you wanna do is soak up the sun.

Read a food magazine.

And sip on a freshly brewed iced tea.

Not spend hours slaving over your stove.

Just a few mere minutes next to your ol’ grill and you’re all set with this one.

Yes, you heard me correctly. A few minutes and you’ve gotta side dish that’ll knock your socks off.

  1. Oh, how perfect! We’re getting married next year and I’ve been checking out invitations on Minted already! I love the invitation called float + spring shades

    Mmmm, looks delicious, can’t wait to try this recipe out!

  2. What a beautiful giveaway! I love the Paris and Vintage one. Stationary reminds me of old times…simple times indeed. Thank you for introducing us to a fabulous site!

    Simple meals – AMEN. I get exhausted just looking and reading recipes/blogs with extensive to-do’s or ingredients. But then I always get confused too…so many bloggers love to read about food, write about it, look at recipes – but then do just keep it simple with meals. So is it healthy to be so involved in food then? I don’t know anymore…

    1. Thank you so much; so great to hear from you darling! Read what you love and you’ll be happy…don’t worry about what everyone else is reading as long as you are happy!

  4. Hi Amie!
    I am in awe of your endless creativity…you are amazing! I am so happy that you are feeling better. I hope that your dental treatments are going smoothly, and you continue to feel stronger each day. You are truly an inspiration to all of us. I just checked out MINTED.
