The Friday Four
The Friday Four is Nancy’s signature weekly note—delivered straight to your inbox. Just four things, thoughtfully chosen: a vibrant, healthy recipe, a smart kitchen tip, a creative spark, and a wine find worth sipping.

Summer calls for bright zingy fresh flavors like the salsa on this yummy fish!
Friday Four – Cool Summer Dinner: Mediterranean Chicken Salad – 072321
In the summer, its often hard to think about spending a lot of time in the kitchen – Here’s an easy way to make dinner fast and cool!
Friday Four – Simple Summer Peach Cake – 071621
Its summer – and that means peach season. There’s nothing better than a quick-to-make, with easy ingredients and the summer’s best juicy ripe drippy peaches!
Friday Four – Med Style Watermelon, Halloumi and Beet Salad – 070921
I use Halloumi in this salad, as I’ve enjoyed it in the Mediterranean in fruit salads as well as tucked into a pita pocket with fresh greens. Adding to the flavor of the salad are watermelon and beets – a funky combo, and not one that pops to the top of your head immediately. But the earthy and sweet combo not only looks beautiful, but tastes fabulous, as well.
