Although only part time hours, I quickly realized that I would have to reschedule the whole family. From dropping the kids off at school, to arranging their after school activities, to simply finding time to grocery shop, it has been incredibly busy. But even with all of the changes, we did have time to make some tasty new recipes and those will be popping up here in the next few days, so stay tuned!
To make things even more crazy, the day after school was out we went on our first cruise to the Caribbean. Like I said, crazy busy.
The Caribbean is a beautiful place and we were able to visit Costa Maya and Cozumel, Mexico, Belize and Mahogony Bay, Roatan, which is a small island off the coast of Honduras. Of the sites we visited, Roatan was by far my favorite and I'm hoping we can make a return trip in the future. Here are a few pictures from the trip.

On our return trip, I was a little worried about the garden I had left behind. Although daily afternoon rain showers in Florida are pretty common, I was hoping all of our springtime plantings had enough water to keep them happy. We were very pleasantly surprised.
I was excited to find yellow, orange, and juicy grape tomatoes all waiting to be picked along with green and purple peppers. We even had a few early blueberries that were ripe and ready to eat. Yummy!
To begin enjoying this summer harvest we decided to start with something quick and simple, but delicious. Sliced yellow tomatoes layered with fresh basil leaves and slices of mozzarella cheese with a little salt and cracked pepper, topped off with a drizzle of good quality balsamic vinegar was the perfect side dish for our grilled burgers. Ahh..let the summer begin!
