Salads and Ice Cream

I've declared this summer to be the season of SALADS and ICE CREAM! I've been trolling Pinterest, collecting lots of salad recipes - it's just too hot to cook! And most days Hubby hits the driving range before dinner - he comes home too hot to eat anything hot. 

And ice cream - what's better in the summer?! I've been pinning lots of ice cream recipes, too. I'm getting an ice cream maker attachment for my Kitchenaid mixer, so I can whip up a batch whenever I want. 

I combined a couple of recipes to make this Roasted Vegetable Salad with a lemon, garlic, and olive oil dressing, along with toasted pine nuts and crumbled blue cheese. So good!!!! 

Here's a shot of Cooper taking a little nap in a spot of sunshine yesterday - both dogs have adjusted so well to this move.
