SUMMER MENU
For Lee Guinn and his wife, Jane, of Corpus Christi, Texas, a great day is one spent with dear friends and family aboard the Carpe Diem, their exquisite sailboat. They stock its galley with tasty food from their cafe and juice bar, Somethin' Healthy.
Dickson Merkle, Jr., manager of the eatery and friend of the Guinns, brings offerings such as Mediterranean Wrap (my favorite). It's loaded with spinach, feta, and avocado, then dressed with zesty wine vinaigrette--yum. I also liked the Cayenne Lemonade. It's sweet and sour with a subtle fiery kick. For an easy sweet finale, Sticky Fingers--a banana bread-peanut butter dessert or snack--is hard to beat.
Even if you're not lucky enough to spend the day sailing with one of the healthiest couples in Corpus Christi as we did, you can still enjoy the delicious recipes they shared with us.

Mediterranean Wrap, Apple Lemonade, Sticky Fingers, and fresh fruit make a not-too-heavy lunch for a sunny summer afternoon.
Friends loved the colorful, delectable spread of Turkey Wraps, Mediterranean Wrap, sweet Sticky Fingers, and fresh fruit.
