Countertop Review
This time last year I was packing up our house to prepare for our down-to-the-studs renovation in our kitchen, family room, and master bath as well as the addition of a screened porch. The family room wasn't originally part of the plan, but that's a post for another time. The kitchen was where I really had to plan and scheme, and, yes even fret, to stay in our footprint and budget and to get the function and look I wanted. I love a challenge like this, though, so despite some occasional frustration with my client (aka me! ), I enjoyed the process. A key "want" of mine was honed marble countertops. There are dozens--maybe hundreds--of blog posts, articles, and showroom sites that compare various types of countertop materials and their pros and cons. I read most of them and took notes from a lot of them in the months leading up to our start date. One of the most helpful things was visiting a sweet friend's kitchen, where I was able to ask questions about cleaning, a
Thank you for sharing! I do believe that I will make this for dinner tonight.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this Ellie Krieger Fruit Salad.

Something lemon-y for sure! Lemon sorbet and raspberries with shortbread or ladyfingers, simple lemon squares, lemon cream pie... you get the idea.
ReplyDeleteThank you for giving me a recipe for Sunday night! Normally we go out but are unexpectedly having my nephew and his wife and baby for dinner and we all like fish and I was looking for something new and fresh..and voila here it is! Perfect, easy and right up my alley. I will serve it with risotto, some fresh green beans and a big salad and then top off this healthy meal with something decadent for dessert!! Thanks..have a great day.
ReplyDeleteI always feel like fish is a light meal, so I think I'd serve a strawberry trifle! Paula Deen has a great recipe! I've taken it to several functions, and always had rave reviews. Speaking of, that fish looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteI am not sure what I'd serve for dessert but the fish looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteoooh this looks delicious! and for some reason i think an angel food cake would be a great dessert after this-- it's light just like the fish, and would be a good complement!
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Are you thinking Key Lime Pie? With fresh raspberries and coulis. This is going into my recipe file...thanks.
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteThis looks yummy - AND easy. Always a key factor for me!
ReplyDeleteThis will make its debut at my table this week. I would serve strawberries and vanilla ice cream for dessert - seasonal, and the creaminess of the ice cream complements the lightness of the main dish.
ReplyDeleteYou always have GREAT recipes. Thanks will make this soon! PS Did I tell you we are going to the Clemson/Boston College game Oct. 8th weekend...maybe we could meet up?
ReplyDeleteOH, for dessert I agree with Heather....something LEMON-Y or Rita's water Ice!
ReplyDeletethat looks and sounds delicious! thank you for another
ReplyDeletedelightful recipe. i hope you are doing well!
Dear Town and Country Mom,
ReplyDeleteI'm a new reader of your blog, and was delighted to find this recipe. I made this tonight with flounder and also substituted dollops of homemade pesto out of the freezer for the basil leaves because I didn't have any fresh basil. We had it with couscous and it was just delicious! Thank you so much for this great recipe.
Oh, and I would definitely do a heavy duty chocolate dessert with this!

Thanks everyone for your kind comments and dessert suggestions! Also, so glad to hear that flounder and pesto work well in this dish. Thanks, Francie!
