Our Fabulous Bites

This too was part of our Easter dinner. The lemon basil syrup was delicious on the berries, and I would gladly eat this every day if I could. Lemon Basil Berry Salad Salad 1 c fresh strawberries 1/2 c fresh blackberries 1/2 c fresh blueberries - honestly just use whatever fresh berries your heart desires. these are what i used - Lemon Basil Syrup 1 c water 1/2 c sugar 1 c fresh basil leaves 1 lemon Prepare syrup by bringing water and sugar to a boil (I actually did this step using the microwave, this time around); once boiling, remove from heat, stir in fresh basil leaves and juice of 1 lemon, and cool completely. Combine berries in a bowl. Add 2 tbsp lemon basil syrup (or more to taste). Store syrup in the refrigerator. Remove basil leaves prior to storing. Bon Appetite!

We had this for our Easter dinner. It was a hit with all four of us, and I'd gladly make it for any fish lover. Rosemary & Garlic Roasted Salmon 3 garlic cloves 2 fresh rosemary sprigs, about 1 tbsp chopped 1 1/2 to 2lbs salmon fillet 1 tbsp evoo sea salt and pepper Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Peel and chop garlic, and rosemary, and set aside. Place salmon on a baking sheet (covered in foil for easier cleanup). Distribute evoo evenly over salmon. Add s&p over the fillet. Then add rosemary and garlic and lightly press into salmon. Place in oven. At this time I also threw in some fresh green beans lightly coated in evoo and s&p. Roast for 10 to 12 minutes until the salmon is flaky and green beans are tender. Voila! Quick, easy, and delicious. Bon Appetite!
