There are two new salads, the first of which features three varieties of beets (AKA Nature’s Candy), along with a menagerie of summery goodness that includes goat cheese, peaches, arugula, pecans and dill.

As if she knew the deep desires of my heart, Sissy’s owner Lisa Garza created a salad that celebrates tomatoes (the ultimate fruit of summer), buffalo mozzarella and freshly made basil. Be still, my tomato-loving heart!

A redfish entree makes an entrance on this new summer menu, topped with a crawfish-studded buerre blanc and accompanied by a sweet corn maque choux.

And not to be missed is the peach pie, topped with a biscuit that’s to-die-for and served with a dollop of fresh whipped cream. Of course. Thank goodness for chef Jeffery.

NOTE: This pre-launch sampling of the new menu items at Sissy’s was blissfully free to me. Just so you know.
