Food from your Hearth, Made for your Soul!
It’s summer time at the Hearth and Soul Hop!
Ahhh! Sweet relief! After much planning and running around and raw emotion, my oldest daughter has been prommed, mortarboarded, honored, awarded and graduated! Now, for a brief respite, I can relax. I figure I will give us all a week to simply chill out and soak this all in. I have a lot to say on the subject, but since this is a hop day, I will save it for another time soon so no one misses anything! I will share a few pictures of my beautiful daughters, graduation day and my daughter and her lovely boyfriend who did not get to go to prom with her, but that is a whole nother story!
So very proud and not even gonna say sorry for gushing! My girls ROCK!
So, obviously I am ready to chill out and relax, and see how things are going in my garden, lounge by the beach or pool and whip up some delectable summer treats! Getting back into the joy of cooking always centers me and helps me to focus on the important things when I am overwhelmed with emotion or too busy to think! So, I am glad it is time for another crop of lovely hearth and soul recipes!
The Hearth and Soul Hop was born of our beliefs that food not only nourishes our bodies, but our souls! To really get clear on what we are talking about, please check out our nifty Hearth and Soul mission statement!

Congratulations on your daughter’s graduation!
I am sharing my recipe for Strawberry Pudding. This pudding is super healthy because it has very little sugar and is just fresh fruit and gelatin. It’s great for kids because they won’t be bouncing off of the walls from too much sugar!
Thanks for hosting!

We had a graduation at the end of the school year, though only for 8th grade (Catholic school). I can’t believe high school graduation is only 4 years away for my 15 year old. Whew!
Now that school is out, I find myself more inspired in the kitchen, and getting into the produce coming from our garden.
I shared a simple condiment that I like to make in the summer when the peppers are ready.
