Late Summer Food Joy

You can not get better than this...Black Cherry, Sungold, Green Grape and Matt's Wild Cherry tomatoes and fresh mozzarella in good olive oil (a beautiful green color), white balsamic vinegar, sea salt, black pepper and sweet basil leaves on top...THIS is my late summer happiness, people!

I served this to my family for "happy hour" out on our back porch. So much golden sunlight, peach- and salmon-colored clouds above us, shorts and hoodies on, lots of delicious beer and cider and a good white wine...so wonderful.  The other food goodies I brought out were oven-fried pickles (recipe here), crackers with goat cheese and roasted cherry tomatoes, and chocolate-covered ginger.

What are YOU eating these lusty, late summer days!? Come visit my Nourishing Inspiration board on Pinterest and get ideas for your next backyard happy hour or harvest party :)

Lots of yummy love,
