I hope you had a nice holiday weekend.  I have a variety of sites to share in this weeks Worthy Reads.

If you need a side dish for a summer barbecue, try my recipe of the week!  It’s delicious!  I have found some other great links too on baking, the housing market, how to clean any stain and I also share a pretty room with a view.  Enjoy!

Recipe of the Week

While I was recuperating from wrist surgery last summer, my neighbor Vicky brought me dinner.  She had made a broccoli salad that was delicious!   I loved the combination of flavors.  It’s a great dish for summer entertaining as long as you can keep it cold since it has mayo.   You can find the recipe for this delicious salad at Mel’s Kitchen.

I came across Errin’s Kitchen and her post on What Went Wrong?  12 Tips for Better Baking.   My mother is an excellent baker.  Although I like to bake, I don’t love it like I do cooking.    Baking is so precise where as cooking allows me to be a bit more creative.

Room of the Week

I found this lovely living room with a view at Haus & Home.   There is nothing like a water view.  It’s so soothing.  The touch of blue brings the outside in.
