French Potato Salad

Welcome to the middle of the summer. My school doesn't start until the 3rd week of August and my annual vacation to Nantucket is coming up soon! One of my favorite things about summer is all of the BBQs and special summer food. Potato salad is a summer food must and this is one of my 3 favorite recipes and this recipe is one that can easily be made and enjoyed all year long. I have made/eaten this potato salad several times in the last few years, but I have only ever had it with the mayonnaise mixed into it. 

My Marshmallow and MasterChef Addiction Cookie Cake

It finally feels like summer in Indiana and summer is the time for s'mores!

Ooey and Gooey S'more Cake

Marshmallows are one of my favorite foods. They are so delicious! I love my s'mores toasted and browned but with a little burnt! I bought a bag of marshmallows recently and I decided that is was time to make something with the marshmallows and not just eating them out of the bag. When I saw the recipe at My Baking Addiction I knew you all would love it and my marshmallow addiction would be out in the open... I have a problem and now that I told you about it, I need to go eat more marshmallows!

Bruschetta with Herbed Goat Cheese and Sweet Balsamic Syrup

So, what do you think of the new Calamity Kate's Kitchen? I am still in the process of organizing all of the recipes. Through this organization, I have found some wholes in my recipe collection. The main dish, sides, appetizers and breakfast categories are low on recipes compared to the desserts and cupcakes. So while I will still share cupcakes and desserts, I am going to try to add more main dish, appetizer, sides and breakfast recipes. So... on to my favorite appetizer that Dad and I ate for lunch on Wednesday and Aunt Nancy, Uncle Stewart and I ate for dinner the last night of my vacation!

Italian bruschetta (pronounced “brusketta”) is the perfect summer food. It brings together the best of summer tomatoes and fresh and fragrant basil. I love eating bruschetta all year long, but it isn't nearly as delicious as the fresh summer bruschetta.  I have already made bruschetta 3 times since the second week in May!
