Seasonal Saturday and Fresh Food Friday!


Oh what a busy time it is for me!  As a college educator, I'm busy, busy, BUSY with prepping for the beginning of fall semester.  I am trying to get to all the various linky-parties that are open for sharing recipes (I do enjoy sharing the love!).  And so I realize I may be a little bit late in posting this linky, please forgive me.

Please remember that everyone who has a foodie or food gardening recipe is welcome here. . . new or established bloggers!  It is important for those starting out to introduce themselves as well as to discover those who've been food blogging for a period of time.  I guess that's the educator in me; to help pull up those younger than I am!

With that said, here are the lovely 8 featured blog posts that were shared last week!


This mouthwatering Grilled Polenta was shared by Karen at Goodbye City Hello Suburbs. 
I know how seriously delicious this polenta must be!

click below to read all of the shared and featured posts from last week!




 Anita from Aunt Nubby's Kitchen created this absolutely stunning Rose Cake that she lovingly prepared for her daughter's birthday.  Now this cake took some time and talent . . . and lots of love!


Now how cute and clever are these little Mini Caprese Salad cherry tomatoes shared by Judee at Gluten Free From A to Z? 
Thanks Judee . . . and a big thanks for stopping by each week.


Ambreen from Simply Sweet and Savory prepared this cool, chilled Fruit and Cream Creamy Dessert.  
It looks so light and refreshing!  Welcome Ambreen! 


Jess from Life's Simple Measures picked up some rhubarb at her Omaha Famers' Market
and made these superb and yummy Strawberry Rhubarb Cream Bars.  Welcome Jess!


I am so impressed by people who can their fresh produce.  This brilliant red Strawberry Freezer Jam was shared
 by Rebekah at Somewhere In The Middle.  Glad to have you join in Rebekah!


It's great to see an oldie but goodie from the 70's back in the food lime light.  Vicki from The Blest Nest perfectly prepared this Fresh Fruit "Fruitopia" Tart.  Perfect for a magazine photo shoot, Vicki . . . and welcome to the party!


Concetta from Concetta's Cafe brought this incredible Glazed Lemon Cake and Sugared Strawberries. 
It looks so moist with the citrus glaze!

So please go ahead and grab the "Featured Button" if you like and place it anywhere on your blog, as my way of showing appreciation for the sharing of your great recipe.

OK, so now it's time to share one or MORE of your great recipe or (food) gardening blog posts!

Thanks to EVERYONE for sharing and making this a fun get-together.  I truly appreciate all of you.  These and all of the shared recipes from last week were simply outstanding and demonstrative of the talent of so many food bloggers! 

Please use the URL of your post only and not of your blog.
Recipe and gardening posts only, please.
You can share as many posts as you like, from any date!

**To be considered for one of next week's Featured Posts, the button and/or link for "Fresh Food Friday" or "Seasonal Saturday" needs to appear on your post.  The codes are at the bottom of my sidebar on the right.**


May God bless each of you over the weekend and always!

  23. Dear Roz,
    Oh my goodness...I don't know what happened to your link being on my Chicken Salad post - I am so sorry! I usually just copy and paste line by line from my Word doucuments because I do not know an easier way. I am thinking it must have just been left off.
    Thank you so much - you are just so gracious! It is a good thing that I do not have a weekly linky party yet - I would have to feature every single post of yours!!

  26. Rox, I don't know how you manage to do all of the things you do. Your clock must have more hours than mine.

    I always go away hungry after visiting. Yet another great Fresh Food Friday and Seasonal Saturday. Thanks for sponsoring this great event. I brought the gazpacho soup to cool us all off.
