Gorgeous afternoon!!
The skies opened up into Simpsons clouds and we had a perfect afternoon for a beach walk!
Followed by an even prettier evening!
For cocktail hour we had guac and chips. Matt made this guac with 3 avocados and about 1/3 a cup of greek yogurt – it was incredible! Love the yogurt twist. [Plus salt, southwestern seasoning, lime]
“Cocktail”
Our final night was a hybrid between home food and beach food: Whole Wheat Pasta with Zucchini, Tomatoes and Fresh Clams in a White Wine Butter-Garlic Sauce
MY OTHER RECIPES
This clam is going “homph gomph gomph” on those veggies!
I saved room for a final ice cream sundae!
And now, we unwind.
oh gosh, your dinner and the scenery look amazing! Enjoy your evening!
I am so happy that you got some nice weather and enjoyed your walk, I must say that those clams with veggies look incredibly tasty, honestly this is the best photo of photo I saw in a few months, I want to recreate it pretty badly, can you please post the recipe?
So yummy 🙂 Enjoy the sound of the sea your last night
The White Wine Butter sauce — I can almost smell it from here…wow, I bet that dinner was amazing! And the view at sunset; the sky is almost lavender. Beautiful!
This pasta looks divine! (or better the clams-tomatoes-zucchini ‘sauce’) 🙂
Pretty sure I have never had clams…what part do you eat?
The muscle on the inside… Not the shell!
oh that meal looks like it’s straight from a restaurant!
Yogurt sounds great in guac 🙂
What a perfect last beach night! Pasta with clams is one of my favorites!
Glad the weather cleared up for you! That pasta with clams looks so fresh and delicious 🙂
So happy the weather cleared up for you! The clam & veggie pasta looks amazing!
I’ll take that guac with a kolsch, please!
It seems like a beautiful vacay. And those clams look fantastic!!
That does look like a gorgeous evening! Glad you could enjoy the perfect last night on the beach 🙂 Looks like a yummy dessert too!
I’m pretty sure I could live off of guacamole alone…
Okay so my mouth is watering – not fair! That pasta looks AMAZING and I could really go for an ice cream sundae – oh man!
Love how you brought a little bit of home with you 🙂
Love me some clams :)!
Even though I do not eat clams, this meal looks awesome, I want some guacamole too!
Walks (or any exercise) is always better on the beach!
that dinner looks amazing!
Oh my….that clam dish looks devine!!! Perfect meal to end what looked like a great day at the beach! Can’t wait for summer!
Guacamole is my favorite! It is the perfect way to start off a meal. 🙂 Your dinner looks absolutely amazing! Do you have a recipe to share?
Sounds like you’ve had a very enjoyable vacation!
Did you dig the clams yourself? We dug almost 100 when we went to Mexico in March, the kids had a blast! Made some yummy clam chowder and a seafood & veggie pasta with a wine and butter garlic sauce. Your dinner looks delicious, as does the guac and sundae! The last day and night of vacation are always difficult, it’s hard to leave but I always look forward to getting back home.
Your dinner looks wonderful! Love the pic. of the clam eating the veggies — a healthy clam 🙂

HA. I love that you said “the sky opened up into Simpsons clouds” – that was a perfect visual 🙂
Love the vacation pictures…but how did you get the words (hat/t-shirt) backwards? Software function?
That’s just what my phone does with self photo
Great combo on the guac. I love using Greek yogurt in recipes. Also, I’m trying to add more avocados to my life. So good.
That is the hubbies’ favorite meal but I won’t let him order it in public. He’s a slurped 🙂 Safe trip home y’all!
That last night meal looks ah-mazing! and the unwinding afterwards must have been the icing on the cake 🙂
whoops “slurper” like Lady and the Tramp style-slurping!
so sad when vacation comes to an end. but looks like you had some great days even with the hurricane scare. looking forward to trying the yogurty guacamole!
jealous of all the beach time! i have to ask, did your family finish all that bread?!
Not quite!!
wow, that dinner looks amazing!
That meal looks amazing!! I’m sure it is simple but I would love to know the secret of the sauce as well. Thanks!!
I’d love to hear the pasta dish recipe, Kath, if it’s available/shareable!! Thx
Did u vacation in Springfield? Those clouds are totally from The Simpsons opening …
