Mayday! Mayday!

We are counting down the days of May and I don't know about you, but I am ready for summer! There is no real theme for this May menu. Although, I am assigning a strawberry dessert to Haley in honor of the Humboldt Strawberry Festival.  

I am just so happy to see the local fruit and veggies starting to appear at the farmer's market! Props to our local farmers or shall I say, "crops"? (Ha, cracking myself up here). Anyhoo, I hope you will embrace the menu with an open mind and hungry stomach. Looking forward to having you in our home again on Thursday. Cheers!

Note-please do yourself a favor and buy a graham cracker pie crust.
I am not as adventurous as this chef and would not feel like I could reproduce such an impressive display on my own!
