Sista Felicia’s Favorite Kitchen Gadget of the Week
Last night we ended an awesome beach day with S’mores. Our Twins BJ & Amanda have been make S’mores year round using one of their very own favorite Kitchen Gadgets, The Casa Moda “S’mores” Maker made by Lifetime Brands. Several people have inboxed messages inquiring about this gadget, and to be honest we have had it for so many years that I don’t remember where we purchased it, or how much we paid for it but what we can tell you is that is AWESOME! It’s fun, easily transports, can be used in or outdoors with little mess and fuss. Some Amazon.com reviews were not in favor of this handy gadget, but we love ours and have used it successfully countless times for several years. I was a little shocked by the price, on Amazon, and highly doubt I paid that price years ago. I would encourage looking further online for a better price, because It’s definitely a Kitchen Gadget must have for all ages!

Blueberry Cake Cookies
Blueberry Cake Cookies
Last week I received a phone call from friends that were on their way to the Gloucester area, for the day and were planning to stop by for a quick visit. Excited for their arrival, I went straight to the panty to see what sweet confection I had to serve with Iced coffee. Remembering how fast and delicious the PB&J cookies recipe using a boxed cake mix is, ( PB&J a recipe I posted a few months back using boxed cake mix), I decide to get creative with a boxed white cake mix and a small container of fresh blueberries I had on hand. With fingers crossed and company expected to walk through he door in a few hours, I successfully created this yummy Blueberry Cake Cookie in less then and hour. I’m looking forward to trying it with fresh raspberries next time!

It was really nice to see our mother Pat enjoying this past weekend with friends from the south shore, that she and our father met in Naples Florida where they all wintered together for several years. Friends Pat and Marie had mom laughing into the wee hours of the morning as they enjoyed each other company during their 3 day “Girlfriends Weekend” playing tourists by day and BFF Slumber Party by night! Thank you Pat and Marie for being such a great friend to our mother.

Grilled Veggie Pesto Pizza
Grilled Veggie Pesto Pizza
A few summers ago, I came across a mouth watering photo of a Grilled Veggie Pesto Pizza on the very popular Blog site “The Pioneer Women” belonging to Ree Drummond. When I read the list of ingredients included in Ree’s Grilled Veggie Pesto Pizza; pesto, grilled zucchini, goat cheese, roasted peppers… I immediately got hungry, and knew I had to make it for a friends end of the summer BBQ. Using zucchini, summer squash, and basil, from my farm share at the Applenton Farm I whipped up my own “Basil Pesto” recipe and followed Ree’s guide for the pizza. After sampling the first bite I fell in love. The combination of flavors is absolutely amazing! The past few summers I have made it numerous times and it’s always a big hit. I give “The Pioneere Women,” Ree Drummond’s Grilled Veggie Pesto Pizza a double thumbs up! Trust me, give this one a try…you won’t be disappointed. It’s a great way to use fresh zucchini and basil growing this time of year!
Tonight we are celebrating a few friends Belated Birthdays’ on the beach… and this is on the menu!
