Jalapeño & Raspberry Goat Cheese

I bought some jam from the Farmer's Market here in Carberry today from "My Tiny Kitchen" - she has soooo many fun different jams, I couldn't choose! But went with a Jalapeño Raspebrry and also a Saskatoon Rhubarb - YUM!

So I just had to make us a little appetizer to try out the Jalapeño Raspberry before supper! Just put a scoop of plain goat cheese in a small baking dish, topped with about 2 TBSP of the Jam and 1 TBSP of chopped pecans. Baked in the oven at 350F for about 20 mins and served with crackers!

Keeping with the goat theme... lol just had to share  - they also had a little petting zoo at the market and Devlan got to pet a goat!

Harbourfront Oil & Vinegar Watermelon Salad

Brent and I went to Kenora, ON for the weekend and picked up some amazing ingredients to make our own dressing at Harbourfront Oil & Vinegar! We could have bought it all I'm sure but settled on Peach white balsamic vinegar and Tuscan Herb olive oil - sound like they don't go together? They do! Delicious! And seriously there are so many flavours, and the owner was great with making suggestions and letting us taste!  If you're ever in Kenora, check it out right on the Harbourfront.

So, as usual the salad is fairly simple - some kale (from my garden thank you very much), some romaine, watermelon, mini cucumbers, sliced avocado, with goat cheese, cranberries, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds to top. Then drizzled a bit if the peach vinegar and Herb olive oil and YUM!!! Summer salad time!

Canada 150!

Oh Canada! My inlaws have an annual Canada Day party and this year I took a pasta salad so I had to  jazz it up a bit!! Seems to be a theme with me this weekend but no elaborate recipe here for this... I totally used a Club House seasoning mix for it haha just had to mix the spices with oil and vinegar and add to cooked pasta and vegetables. But I just had to show off my cute Canada flag made from cherry tomatoes and feta! Happy Canada Day!
