best side salads for summer


Hey Reader,

If you've been around here for a while, you know I struggle HARD to eat my veggies. I just don't have the energy to cook dinner, AND veggies, in between taking care of my dog and horses, working out and trying to get some actual work done (like writing you this e-mail ;) ).

BUT these salads are so good, even I make them regularly. Not every day, definitely not - but I make one of them at least once per week. And now in summer, I often make the first one multiple times each week!

So if you also struggle to eat your veggies, then try one of these - adding lots of cheese, ranch dressing or lots and lots of sun-dried tomatoes really makes veggies go down so much easier.

Shopska Salad

Salad with cheese, or cheese with salad? Either way, it's awesome!

Ranch Coleslaw

If you're not adding ranch dressing to your coleslaw, what are you even doing with your life?! Up your salad game, the easiest way.

Arugula Salad With Sun-Dried Tomatoes

There just is no better side for steak! It's sweet, acidic and a bit peppery - and totally delicious.

Enjoy your summer!

Now, I LOVE fall above all else so this doesn't make me too sad. But, there are a few recipes I want to make sure I make before fall really hits. And I think you should try them, too! These are some of my all-time summer favorites, and I definitely need to make them at least once more this season. Extra Everything...

Hey Reader, When it's hot out, dinner should feel light. The caprese is my go-to when tomatoes are this good. Three ingredients is plenty, and it's hearty enough to call a meal. From there, the salmon tacos with ginger-avocado salsa and the larb gai keep things fresh and bright. And that cabbage salad has been in regular rotation for YEARS...

Hey Reader, After taking a few weeks off, I'm back in the kitchen and behind the computer - but oh, is it hard to get back into routines! One thing that always suffers for me after a vacation like this is cooking. Even if I usually love it, combining work and hobbies and cooking with everything else that needs to get done suddenly feels totally impossible. That's when I reach for these super easy meals! I call them lazy because they are so easy to make. But don't think that makes them any...
