Due to the milder than usual late spring/early summer, and dinners like this Shrimp, Sugar Snap Pea and Radish Salad, which required minimal cooking, we just turned on our air-conditioning a couple of days ago. For the beginning of July in Arkansas that is unusual, but for the most part we were very comfortable, keeping the doors and windows wide open, and taking advantage of the gentle breezes out on the back deck and down by the pool. However, there were a couple of times I gathered the kids in the car and headed for an air-conditioned destination – usually involving the extra chill of ice-cream to cool us down.

Shrimp, Sugar Snap Pea and Radish Salad with Sesame Dressing

1 pound medium shrimp, shelled and deveined

Thinking of all those who have served in the Armed Forces on this Memorial Day.

Although this holiday typically signals the beginning of the summer vacation season – outdoor cooking, being by the water, boating, picnicking, sunscreen and bug spray, the kids in our district were in school today, making up one of the days they were at home over the winter, due to inclement weather.

However, we barbecued with friends over the weekend, camped and spent a lot of time beside, on, and in the lake, so they were able to have a taste of summer, before being dropped at the school doors this morning.

The three coleslaw recipes below are all delicious, and would be wonderful and welcome at any celebration.

 Colorful Coleslaw

A little burst of citrusy sunshine for a cold winters day.

ROASTED ACORN SQUASH WITH ORANGE OIL

1 tablespoon freshly grated orange zest
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 acorn squash
1/3 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
2 sprigs of fresh thyme, stems removed

Heat oven to 375F.
In a small bowl, whisk together orange zest and 1 tablespoon of olive oil until well combined, set aside.
Cut squash in half horizontally through its center. Scrape out seeds with a spoon and discard. Set each half cut-side down and slice into 1/2 inch thick half moons.
Add to a large bowl and combine with the remaining olive oil, orange juice, salt, pepper and thyme. Toss to coat.
Arrange squash, skin side down, inside a pie plate. Top with any juice remaining in the mixing bowl. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes or until squash is fork tender.
Remove from the oven and drizzle with reserved olive oil mixture.
Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
