Blueberries + nectarines are my favorite combo of late. I am soaking up all the summer fruits these days! Cannot get enough. Also, our garden tomatoes are finally flourishing. They were going from green to gone and we found out deer were eating them! Thomas found a deer spray that works and now we have ripe tomatoes. Capresé salads are such a nice change from green salads.
Y’all know I am always behind on the trends, but Despacito is on repeat over here. Not so much literally, but I listen to it about once a day and then it gets stuck in my head! I think I wake up singing it. I looked up the lyrics and tried to sing along, but my Spanish is not what it once was and I can barely keep up! I also looked up the translation — ay yi yi!
In other musical news, Nashville has been killin’ it with the music this season. This song is perfectly soulful, and I love this one also featuring Rhiannon Giddens. They said it was too poppy for her in the show, and that’s exactly why I love it!
I’m going to be working on a few recipes today — back to the kitchen!

I should give the song a listen! And I’m LOVING the summer fruits and produce, too!

Have fun working on recipes! I looooove fresh nectarines in the summer. Haven’t been able to find fresh ones near me though- unless I go to the Farmer’s Market

Hey Kath! Would you share the name of the deer spray? My brother lost his whole backyard garden to deer and he’s tried so many things. Thank you!
KathEats says
It’s called Bobbex
MS says
Thank you!

Do you prefer the prepping, or the cleaning part of making something, Kath? I prefer the former!
KathEats says
I kind of like the cleaning stage!
Linda @ the Fitty says
No way! Well, we make thw peefect team, then.

I was behind on the despacito trend too until I got a chance to Zumba it up, then I did the same thing, had to look up the translation! I’m appalled by how rusty my Spanish has gotten as well, but what can you do, don’t use you lose it right?

You can use Irish Spring soap to keep the deer out of your garden. Use a potato peeler to peel the soap and put the peelings or chunks of the soap near your plants. PatR

Ooh I’m going to try this with my next garden! 🙂
Katie says
Mmm I think I’m going to have to pick up some nectarines this weekend. I was drooling at the first sight of that photo!
Yana says
Which deer spray??? We are having the same problem
KathEats says
It’s called Bobbex, from Southern States
Diana says
I haven’t tried nectarines with blueberries, but I love peaches with blueberries. Mmm! I should try your combo. Also, I’m still a Despacito fan. Love that song! I got to see Daddy Yankee perform it live at Zumba Convention this past weekend! Woop! 🙂
KathEats says
I was just thinking about Zumba today and thought of you!
