Creamy Avocado Pesto Zoodle Salad (Vegan+GF)
I think I’ve discovered my favorite new Summer side salad! So I know I totally dropped the ball on getting a red, white, and blue themed recipe up for all my friends here in the States. I don’t know, I just had so many recipes lined up before the 4th that I had to share. The good news is that this salad is perfect for a picnic on a hot Summer day. In fact, all the bursting colors sort of remind you of fireworks, no? I’ve had a spiralizer for a while but because it’s not a tool I keep in plain sight I tend not to use it as much as…

Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto & Havarti Grilled Cheese
Who else is excited about this Summer? I’m already feeling the need to switch out the wardrobe from jackets and boots so I can dig out all the shorts and flip-flops. Maybe this is just me, but there’s just something so liberating about not having to layer up to walk outside. It’s like more of the world opens up during the warmer seasons. I love it. Also, it sounds like my family is going to be having lots of visitors through the Summer. We’ve got plans with both old and new friends so it’s going to be a really busy season of barbecues, picnics, and sports. Oh, and there’s only a…

Summer Berry, Sweet Corn, & Basil Quinoa Salad + Seedy Vinaigrette (Vegan+GF)
I’m not sure how you guys are going to feel about me sharing a salad today. I was really kind of hoping you would be excited about it but I also realize that not everyone considers a salad something to get hyped about. What if it has tons of fresh berries and delicious seeds though, does that make it better? Well, at least I’m pretty excited to share it with you. I sometimes get cravings mid-week for something light and fresh to get through the rest of the week. I don’t know, just something about Wednesday says salad time to me, what do you think? I feel like this salad celebrates some of…

Grape Caprese Avocado Salad + Balsamic Reduction (Vegan+GF)
Guess what, the sun is popping out and I think It might stay and hang out for a while today, yay! I was beginning to forget what it looked like. So what do think of when you hear the word salad, because it seems to be a very broad term with many different interpretations. In some places if you order a salad at a restaurant you are going to be disappointed with a large bowl of lettuce and a few dots of something to garnish. I thinks it’s just that some consider salads only a side dish type of thing. To others when salad comes to mind it might be a steakhouse-style salad…

Mozzarella Stuffed Pesto Pizza Monkey Bread (Vegan)
I’m not really sure why they call this type of bread a monkey bread. I suggested that maybe it’s because when everyone is picking at the delicious pieces it resembles the way primates groom each other and eat their findings. I was dumb enough to mention this while my brothers were around so, of course, they gave me their opinions and since my idea was already borderline gross they had to outdo it. One of them said that it’s because it looks like a giant monkey brain like on Indiana Jones and I won’t mention what the other one said. Thank you boys, that’s just the mental picture that will make everyone want…
