Memorial Day

As everyone enjoys food, pool parties, and each other's company, don't forget the reason for the holiday today. Thinking of those who gave their lives for our freedom. And on a personal note, my mind is with my dad, who passed away a little over a year ago. He would have celebrated his 65th birthday today.

For our evening meal, I am stealing Skinnytaste's idea of Watermelon Caprese over a bed of arugula to serve with pesto salmon, pesto linguine, and roasted beets. We have had a cookout and BBQ this weekend, so I thought I would switch it up a bit today. 

This dish is everything. Sweet, salty, peppery, crunchy and tender all in one bite. This will not be the last time it graces our table.
