Seasonal Bits:
July is
National Hot Dog Month - just in time for Independence
Day - so get in the spirit of the season!
Corn Dogs,
Deviled Eggs,
Firehouse Chili,
Fried Green Tomatoes,
Potato Salad,
and
Southern Fried Chicken
are also a few of my hot-season favorites.
To keep it cool, try this summer treat:
Blueberry Smoothie
1 can crushed pineapple (8 oz.), drained
1 ripe banana, sliced
1 C milk
1 C fresh or frozen blueberries
Combine pineapple, banana, milk and blueberries in blender
or food processor container. Cover; blend until thick and smooth. Serve
immediately.

Greetings from Food Fare...
Welcome to Food Fare and the tenth
edition of our newsletter, Food Fare Notes. Here's hoping summer finds
you well and happy.
This time last year
we were grousing about the delays in the release of the first
Food Fare
Cookbook. Irony aside, I'm glad to say we not only have one published cookbook,
but three. It was quite a task to get the first book finished, let
alone two additional offerings. We are happy with the results of all three, and
excited to share the news.
The
Food Fare Cookbook was released in May,
followed shortly by the Larkin Community
Cookbook in June. Before summer is over, the
Ambrosia Cookbook will hit electronic
shelves.
Needless to say, we
are proud of the accomplishments and grateful to all those who assisted with the
compilations, editing and book cover designs.
Now on with the show...

Cookbooks
Galore
As mentioned, Food Fare is now
offering three cookbooks in Kindle, Nook and PDF editions.
The elegantly-appointed
Food Fare Cookbook contains the cream of the crop
from the Food Fare web site, with more than 195 distinctive and
original recipes.
The
Larkin Community Cookbook includes a compilation of more
than 40 recipes mentioned or prepared by characters in the 8-part
fictional epic known as the
Collective Obsessions Saga by
author Deidre Dalton.
The
Ambrosia Cookbook
will be released in late July or early August by Club Lighthouse Publishing and
contains recipes in all categories, along with special dishes for holidays and
vegetarians, and easy-to-assemble herb and spice mixes. As not to forget our
beloved furry friends, we've also included homemade recipes for cats and dogs.

BBQ
Goods
Try this outdoor griller favorite:
Grilled
Paprika Chicken
3 to 4 each of chicken
drumsticks & thighs
Paprika
Lawry's Seasoned Salt
Black pepper
Cinnamon
Rinse chicken in cold
water, shake off excess moisture, and place on a large cookie sheet. Season
the chicken with generous portions of paprika, Lawry's Seasoned Salt and
black pepper. Make sure to rub spices underneath the skin as well. Sprinkle
lightly with dried cinnamon. Allow chicken to stand and marinate for thirty
minutes to one hour. Place the chicken on a pre-heated outdoor grill,
turning once, until fully cooked and no longer pink inside. Variation:
Broil chicken in the oven, although the indoor method is not as good as the
outdoor grill.
