In the warm summer days, nothing is more refreshing than a cool raw vegetable salad. The crisp crunch of vegetables that have marinated in a vinegar base dressing for a little while help cool your body while feeding it good nutrition. The same day I made the roasted squash soup, I also made a raw veggie salad.

I love a well made soup, one of my favorites is roasted squash soup. The richness of the roasted squash combined with earthy spices puréed into a creamy blend of bliss! I like to add coconut milk instead of cream, I find it creates a delightful subtle flavor of coconut coming through in each spoon full.

Lately I’ve been on a cauliflower kick and it has become another favorite vegetable that I’ve come to throughly enjoy. It wasn’t a popular vegetable in my childhood, like many I would avoid it, and even in my younger adult years I never appreciated it. It wasn’t until I started to discover Aloo Gobi at Indian restaurants, a dish that combines cauliflower and potatoes with curry based Indian dry spices.

While at Hauli Huvila over Memorial Day Weekend we captured a lot of photos. You can see a lot of them in my other article about Hauili Huvila here. Select photos of the Finnish Flag, the beautiful sunset, along with some of the wild flowers turned out really nice. Good enough to be used as wallpapers for your desktop, iPad (now in the new iPad retina display size), iPhone, and Facebook cover. I hope you enjoy them.
