ARUGULA SALAD WITH PEACHES, GOAT CHEESE AND BASIL
This simple, quintessential summer salad is a reminder that seasonal ingredients at their very best don't need much fussing (or much cooking at all, in this case). Here, peppery arugula and earthy goat cheese get brightened with juicy summer peaches, but the recipe can be tweaked to suit all seasons: If you can't find ripe peaches, you can use cherries, strawberries, plums, raspberries or even cherry tomatoes in their place.

- Place the arugula in a large salad bowl. Pour just enough dressing over the greens to moisten, and toss to coat. Add the peaches, basil, goat cheese and toasted pine nuts and toss to coat. Add more goat cheese and dressing if desired. Toss gently and serve immediately.
FLAT BREAD WITH GOAT CHEESE, ARUGULA, AND BALSAMIC GLAZE
This appetizer was inspired by a lunch I had with Gone Fishin at The Spa at Lake Austin. The flat bread I used was Croccantini, large, thin crackers I found at Whole Foods. We served this one night for appetizers to good friends while sipping wonderful wine!

Tips:
- Choose ripe and juicy peaches: This will ensure that your flatbread is bursting with flavor.
- Use fresh arugula: Arugula's peppery flavor pairs perfectly with the sweet peaches and tangy goat cheese.
- Don't overcrowd the flatbread: Make sure there is enough space between the toppings so that they cook evenly.
- Bake the flatbread until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly: This will ensure that the flatbread is cooked through and has a crispy texture.
- Serve the flatbread immediately: This is when it is at its best, with a crispy crust and warm, melted cheese.
