Together on Tuesdays - Week 2

Welcome back for another week of Together on Tuesdays!  Thank you to all who participated last week.  It is so nice to meet and get to know each other a little bit more these relaxing summer months. 

Do you want to join us?   We'd love it if you did.   Just write a post, or link to a past one, which shares your favorite foods or recipe. Add a text link to either This Simple Home or These Grace Filled Days, and then add your post to the link-up below.

This week, we are bringing some food to the party, or at least sharing some of our favorite foods, meals, or recipes.  I was all set to share some favorite recipes when it occurred to me, I don't really cook anything spectacular! 

Ever since we started to move to more whole foods, my cooking has gotten a whole lot simpler.  In fact, most of the parts of our summer meals which I prepare are raw veggies and fruits.  However, I don't want to give you the wrong impression.  I'm not a health-nut-food-enthusiast.  The other part of those meals are typically grilled meats like pork, chicken, or hamburgers which my husband fires up on the grill.  {This of course should be ironic to those of you who have known me since I was a teenager and avid vegetarian.} 

So, in lieu of a fantastic food recipe, I decided to share a baker's dozen of my favorite foods.  These are in no particular order as quite frankly some may move to the top of the list depending on the day.

citrus fruits (grapefruit, oranges, lemons)
maple syrup
dark chocolate (if you are wondering how dark, like anywhere in the 85% and up category)
granola
salmon
garden fresh vegetables (particularly lettuce and tomatoes)
cheese (especially feta, mozzarella, swiss, and provolone)
hard boiled eggs (with salt)
enchiladas
canolis (best ones are found in Boston on Hanover Street, too bad that is soooo far away!)
pumpkin (bread, scones, muffins, whoopie pies, cookies)
apple (plain, apple butter, apple bread, apple crisp, baked apples, apple dumpling)
coconut (with my dark chocolate, or as coconut cake)

Runner ups in the food department, because really, I like these just as much ~
shoefly pie (wet bottom)
filet mignon
pumpernickel bread
sweet potatoes (candied, as fries, baked)

Can you tell I had a hard time narrowing down the choices? 

Would any of these foods make your list?

This week, we are sharing our favorite foods or recipe. Next week, we're talking books and films.  I sure hope it is easier for me to narrow down my favorites...but no promises, I love to read!  Want to link up but aren't sure about the ins and outs of this blog hop? Then read the FAQs and schedule here.

Ready to link up? We'd love to get to get to know you better!
