Hi everyone! You know when you just have a bad week, that is me this week. I’m currently suffering from a throat infection so it’s hard to eat most foods. I’ve been essentially living off oatmeal, rice, scrambled egg and freezies. It hasn’t been very fun but I am on the road to recovery! Anyways…

Grilled Nectarine Soba Noodles
This recipe is a really nice take on a summery pasta salad. This one has sort of a Asian spin on it with soba noodles and the dressing but it was very fresh. The grilled nectarines are such a great touch too because they are just coming in season now and grilling the fruit brings…
Basil Pesto Summer Pasta Salad
The first day of summer is tomorrow so the timing of this pasta salad is perfect. Pasta salad in general is just one of those classic summer dishes. It is so great for BBQs or even just weekly meal prep. This recipe specifically though, is so packed with goodness. There are lots of fresh and…

Smashed Cucumber Salad

I have seen recipes for this kind of salad online so I was very excited that this book had one. Aside from the cucumbers there really aren’t that many other ingredients that…
Southwestern Slaw
The next recipe in this cookbook is this delicious and colourful coleslaw. It is southwestern themed and it is very bright and fresh! This reminds me of a recipe from Thug Kitchen 101 called Southwestern Pasta Salad – the dressing and some of the salad ingredients were similar. Also a very good recipe! There are…
