Need proof Obama has been good for the economy? Just look at the stock market
Compared to his predecessors, Obama’s been pretty great for the economy. At 2,000 days into his presidency, Obama ranks in the top half of the eight presidents since the Great Depression who spent this much time in office in terms of stock market performance, according to MarketWatch.

The U.S. is missing opportunities because too many U.S. ambassadors have not arrived to fill vacant posts. A Senate backlog in confirming ambassadorial candidates has left the U.S. without permanent ambassadors in 40 countries and a total of 58 State Department nominees still awaiting confirmation.
This logjam in the Senate is hampering America’s role in the world. Read more here.
I love a good potato salad, and I find roasting the potatoes a bit tastier, perhaps for those crunchy edges. My mom puts sweet pickles (cornichons) in her potato salad, and I thought I’d try a twist on that by adding marinated artichoke hearts. They add some vinegary tang which I like. Plus the spiciness of the arugula makes for a good combo. Happy outdoor summer dining!
This recipe was part of a fun summer BBQ menu that I put together for InStyle Magazine. Check out the whole menu HERE.

5 things you can make with zucchini and summer squash
Zucchini and summer squash some of the cheapest vegetables around in the summer time. If you have a garden or a friend who does, you may have more of these green and yellow guys than you know what to do with! To help, here are 5 recipes you may not have thought of to make with your squash:
1) Zucchini bread or muffins
When you're overloaded with vegetables, it can be easy to forget this old baking standby. Also try making these in muffin tins, or a chocolate variation. If you have extra, freeze a few loaves for later!
2) Summer squash tacos
You can make these with either green or yellow squash, or both! If you haven't tried these before, it can be a great new twist.
3) Black beans and zucchini
This is one of my go-to summer recipes. Just dice and sautee and onion and some garlic, throw in a can of rinsed black beans, diced tomatoes, and some green or yellow squash. Season with cumin, turmeric, and red pepper flakes. Nice recipe to serve with fish, if you have a good deal.
4) Black bean and zucchini burgers
If you have a food processor, this is a great recipe for your meatless summer BBQs! In place of "steak seasoning" in the recipe, use fresh herbs (dill and parsley are a good bet, but whatever you have on hand), some minced fresh garlic, and a dash of cumin, paprika, mustard, black pepper, cayenne, and a little salt.
5) Baked couscous with summer squash and herbs
1 cup water or veggie broth
3/4 cup uncooked couscous
2 cups sliced yellow squash (about 2 small)
1/2 cup sliced green or yellow onions
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup (1 ounce) shredded fontina cheese
1/4 cup (1 ounce) grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (or similar) cheese
2 eggs, beaten
salt and pepper to taste
Bring 1 cup water or veggie broth to a boil in a medium saucepan; gradually stir in uncooked couscous. Remove from heat; cover and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff couscous with a fork.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with a little fat. Add squash, onions, basil, oregano, and garlic; sauté 3 minutes or until squash is tender. Set aside.
Combine fontina and Parmigiano-Reggiano; set aside. Combine couscous, squash mixture, and half of cheese mixture in a large bowl; stir in remaining broth, eggs, salt, and pepper. Spoon mixture into an 8 x 8-inch baking dish lightly coated with oil. Top with remaining cheese mixture. Bake at 400° for 35 minutes or until golden. Serve warm.
