What was on the menu?

Hello, friends!  I have had a lot going on lately, and I haven't been able to pay attention to the blog.:-(  Perhaps I will get myself back on schedule for the next few days. 

The menu I mention is the one I had for the adult day care at my church last Tuesday.  I wanted to make it something that might be typical of summer, so my first thought was potato salad, deviled eggs, and watermelon.  As we  have had such hot temperatures recently, I decided to rely on the deli at our friendly neighborhood grocery store and ordered chicken tenders!  That turned out to be a popular choice.:-)  I baked flag-shaped sugar cookies to go along with ice cream for dessert.

Generous size.:-)

Unfortunately, I left my camera behind and wasn't able to take a picture of the plate as it was served, but everyone had a chicken tender, potato salad, deviled egg, and a wedge of watermelon.  I also included whole wheat deli rolls for those who wanted bread.  They kept the cookies and ice cream for an afternoon party.:-) 

I have posted the recipe for these cookies earlier on the blog.  They are called Mrs. Jones Sugar Cookies.  The potato salad recipe I follow is the one Susan Branch includes in her Summer Book, and the deviled eggs come from Betty Crocker, many years ago. 

The next few posts will feature some of these recipes, plus some from what we are working on from the garden.  The Husband has been hard at work with what has been growing there, and we are enjoying the fruits of his labor.:-) 

The weather is still hot here, and storms last Thursday afternoon left many downed trees around the area.  Fortunately, we were spared any damage where we live. 

I really appreciate you for following along, and enjoy reading your comments.  Stay cool, and return next time.:-)
