Summer's Coming and Recipe

April showers bring May flowers.

Instead we have clouds and occasionally some sprinkles, along with cold nights.

I’m ready for summer. Okay, not the heat, but the idea of beach weather, playing the Beach Boys on my iPod, and thinking summery colors.

I always have a thing about citrus during the summer. I choose yellow, green, and peach for clothes, wear citrus scented fragrance, and indulge in my favorite citrus recipes.

The following is a popular one for the household. It's easy to make and don’t expect much for leftovers. In fact, don’t even bother to share.

So happy fledgling summertime!
