Fire Island: Part I

Threebs and Little Bird invited Peanut and me to spend the weekend with them on Fire Island! We left Friday morning and came back Sunday afternoon... which means, that Threebs and I had to plan out a total of six meals! And not (an affordable) grocery store on the island. So we planned, we prepped, and got ourselves on the ferry!



Meal Number One: Friday Night Dinner
Conceived by: Threebs

She was a bit nervous about grilling pizzas but Threebs is never one to be intimidated by a challenge, especially one that's culinary. Peanut was beside her to offer help or just help boost confidence at the grill.



First up: Manchego, truffle oil, and cremini mushrooms.



Next: Margherita (Tomato, garlic, and mozzarella)



And finally: Caprese with pesto, mozzarella, and her own home-grown tomatoes!!!



She served the pizzas with a fennel and arugula salad, and some sauteed broccolini. A delicious start to the weekend!



Meal Number Two: Saturday Morning Breakfast
Conceived by: Rajeev

Peanut and I overloaded on blueberries at two separate farmer's markets, so I decided to keep it simple and delicious with some homemade blueberry muffins. (Threebs even prepared some blueberry smoothies to accompany them).

And we were off to the beach!

Meal Number Three: Saturday Lunch, on the beach
Conceived by: Rajeev

Light, fresh, and delicious was my inspiration. Add some Bulgar wheat, lemon juice, scallions, mint, parsley, and feta and you have yourself a perfect tabbouleh for lunch, served with pita. (Threebs, of course, had the perfect accompaniment: baby carrots, hummus, and olives).



Saturday Afternoon Cocktail Conceived by: Threebs

The girl can do no wrong! What better way to end the day on the beach then with some fresh cucumber, mint, and lemon to accent the perfect Pimm's Cup. I kid you not: the entire beach was jealous.

Stay Tuned for the remainder of the weekend's fabulous meals!!!
