While I love trying new recipes, I also love enjoying the simplicity of summer meals.

Fresh, scrubbed, and poked sweet potatoes roasted at 350 degrees for an hour and a half

Ripe apricots, washed, halved and pitted, tossed with a bit of sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon and roasted in the same oven with the sweet potatoes for 30 minutes:

A NY Strip Steak prepped with just a bit of steak dust and Worcestershire and grilled to medium:

Lemon blueberry bars, prepped early in the day and chilled:

The bars are sweet, but not overpowering and the blueberries add this really interesting twist. All very simple, all very delicious!
