Dear Friends,
Summer has officially arrived, and along with it lots of bright, colorful produce. Stone fruit, cherries, herbs, berries... it's all so luscious. Lately I've been inspired by Audrey Hepburn, who said "It isn't very interesting to eat a plate full of white, therefore it can't be very good for you either." Below I've shared a few of my favorite colorful recipes that you can enjoy all season long. | |  | | APRICOT SPINACH SALAD WITH AVOCADO BASIL DRESSING - As a flexitarian (somebody who doesn't eat meat all that often), I've always appreciated that spinach is a nutritional powerhouse and a vegetarian source of iron. This Apricot Spinach Salad is fresh and unique. The creamy vegan basil dressing is a perfect compliment to the sweet apricot slices, and avocado provides a dose of healthy fat. Toasted walnuts give it another dimension. RECIPE HERE or PIN IT for later. | |  | | ITALIAN VEGETABLE QUINOA BOWLS - Using fresh, ripe vegetables is key to this recipe. While the ingredients may seem simple, using fresh garlic, ripe summer tomatoes, zucchini, and fresh basil really makes the flavors pop. Next time your neighbor offers you their extra garden zucchini, tomatoes, or eggplant, say "yes, thank you" and give this recipe a try.

Baked or fried, these are, without exaggeration, the best fish cakes I have ever made or eaten. Top them with a dollop of creamy Sriracha sauce, and enjoy!

We've enjoyed limonana for years without alcohol. This tipsy version is the perfect way to celebrate a momentous occasion– or maybe just to brighten up a nice warm evening.

Peaches and blueberries, apples, pears, mixed berries, strawberries, cherries, plums, nectarines, cranberries, or apricots - the sky's the limit. The biscuit topping is just lightly sweetened, but if you like it sweeter you can add more sugar. As is, it lets the sweetness of the fresh fruit shine! RECIPE HERE or PIN IT for later. | |  | | PISTACHIO MINT PESTO - This fresh pesto can be used to marinate vegetables or fish, added to salads, or as a topping for bruschetta. With the arrival of summer, pesto is a terrific sauce to have on hand– it can enhance the flavor of many grilled dishes. I especially love it served as a creamy, dreamy pasta sauce. The possibilities are endless! RECIPE HERE or PIN IT for later. | | | For more frequent updates, friend me on Facebook or say hi on Instagram. I'm also on Pinterest, Twitter, and YouTube.
