Welcome!

Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!

Grilled Corn Tomato and Avocado Salad with Honey Lime Dressing

I was at my mom's today when she got a knock on her back door. It was neighbor passing along some of the bounty from his garden. He gave her a whole sack of beautiful tomatoes. Now with it just being my mom and dad, I knew they wouldn't eat them all so...being the good daughter that I am, I helped myself to a few. I knew just what I was going to make because at home...sitting on my counter...were three pretty avocados just waiting to be used. I've been wanting some kind of salad lately, so I knew this was it! If you've got any tomatoes left in your garden, try this yummy salad. It's light...refreshing and so simple to make. I can eat the whole thing by myself....but that's probably TMI, isn't it?
