Frigidaire's Accessories
First, I was honored that Frigidaire's Accessories Store asked me if they can feature one of my recipes on their website. This store features affordable home appliances and other product accessories such as cooking tools, including bakeware, pots and pens, cutlery, and numerous useful kitchen gadgets. I have decided to send them my latest favorite, Sockeye Salmon Poached in Blueberry Earl Grey Broth and it should be posted very soon on the recipe section of Frigidaire's Accessories website.

Nature's Pride Burger Buns
A special thanks to Foodbuzz's Tastemaker Program and Nature's Pride Bread for sending me samples of country white and whole wheat burger buns as well as country white hot dog rolls. Nature's Pride breads are generally healthy, made with all natural ingredients, no artificial preservatives or high-fructose corn syrup. I made a number of great burgers for a family party we hosted last weekend. Everyone assembled their burgers with their choice of toppings. For example, this burger has roasted garlic white cheddar and Piquillo peppers, and spicy chipotle mayo.
We enjoyed these burgers, though overall these buns tasted about average, and slightly better when toasted. They may have tasted better if purchased the same day at the supermarket.

My Summer Trip
We are about to depart on our summer trip to Europe! We will be based in Dublin, taking some weekend trips around Ireland, and planning to spend some vacation time in Athens & Crete in Greece, and in Paris, France.
I anticipate being able to check my email and comments as regularly as I can during my time abroad. I may have a chance to write up some new posts, perhaps with some travel picture or even new recipes since I will have a kitchen and will be cooking in Dublin. However, I will most likely not have a chance to read or comment on many blogs, so I apologize to all of my blogger friends in advance. I will be back in the beginning of August and promise to catch up with all of your wonderful recipes and reviews then.
I have scheduled several posts throughout the month of July, with some of my recipes that I have recently created and thought you would enjoy reading about. And of course don't forget to tune in every Monday to see the fabulous guest posts for the 5 Star Makeover Summer'10 Special Event, starting on June 28!
