Too Hot - Let's make a salad instead!

7/29/2015

0 Comments

 
With temperatures nearing 100 in Windsor, cooking my delicious beef Wellington just wasn't a good idea. Warming up the whole house is silly regardless of the deliciousness waiting at the end of it all.

I'll be sharing 2 recipes that are great for Summer because they don't require the oven to prepare.

RECIPE 1 is posted  - CAPRESE PASTA SALAD

 
    A delicious pasta salad with hints of garlic and basil enveloping your mouth with every bite. I've made a super easy balsamic dressing to pair with it and I think you all will love it!

    *You can purchase your favourite balsamic vinaigrette in place of making it as well!

10 Ways to eat more Berries!

As we all know, the hot summer temperatures bring loads of fresh berries to your local supermarket or fresh produce retailer. When berries become abundant and less expensive, it's the perfect time to enjoy them regularly. Strawberries,  Raspberries, Blueberries, Blackberries and on and on, these fruits are each packed with various antioxidants and nutrients and they are low in calories which not only make them a great stand alone snack but a great enhancing component to other simple snacks.

I've shared 10 simple ways to use more berries and really take advantage of those summer savings. :)


1. Try using them in your favourite cereal. Sliced Strawberries, Blueberries, and Raspberries are great additions to your breakfast cereal and add lots of extra nutrients and flavour!

2. In your Smoothies! Virtually every berry available tastes delicious in your favourite yogurt based smoothies.

3. Pancake and Waffle Batters. Slipping some fresh berries into your pancakes really freshens them up and adds another delicious layer of flavour.

4. A great way to use up a large amount of berries is to make a very simple berry crumble for dessert. A crunchy oat topping and fresh berries baked to perfection, what's better than that?

5. A very simple bowl of Greek yogurt loves fresh berries!

6. Cook down berries in a small pot with some sugar and use those delicious, sweet, warm berries on top of some Ice Cream for dessert. Not much satisfies quite like melty, vanilla ice cream and sugary sweet berries.

7. Strawberries particularly are a great addition to a lettuce salad. Spinach, Goat's cheese, sliced Strawberries, and your favourite vinaigrette make for a hearty and nutritious salad.

8. Make your own Jam / Preserve. I am actually going to be trying this myself soon. Remember, the internet is your friend here, look online and you'll find thousands of berry preserve recipes you can take advantage of at home!

9. Summer cocktails love fresh berries. Blended or Frozen berry cocktails are not only refreshing in the hot summer months but they so flavourful and pretty too.
Here's a link to some pretty delicious looking ideas! - http://www.driscolls.com/recipes/ideas-inspirations/summer-berry-cocktails

10. Make your own frozen yogurt pops! You can find Popsicle shells just about anywhere. Blend the fruit and yogurt and transfer to the Popsicle. Freeze and enjoy!. So simple and so delicious!

Tortsagne

What is a Tortsagne you ask? It's a fun play on lasagne of course!

Black beans two ways in this dish. My take on refried beans which actually turned out wonderfully! Nice and rich with a spicy kick!

Make sure to check out my CHUNKY GUACAMOLE recipe if you don't already have your own for this dish!

This is the perfect summer appetizer for a variety of reasons. It's a no cook app which is great for hot summer temperatures. It's light which is great for snacking, and it's nice and refreshing to help beat the heat!

Absolutely delicious and lightly seasoned, these tomatoes are just perfect!
