Top Salads for Hot Days
|
Hi Reader, We were in California visiting family for a week, and when we returned to Boise it was 90 degrees. The temps have only gone up since then, and we have a VERY active German Shepard named Uzi. Since it’s so hot, he gets to do his favorite thing in life more than usual. He loves playing in the river with the biggest sticks he can find. He wrestles with them, growls at them, chews the bark off, and runs back and forth along the bank until we finally force him to leave. At least he gets to beat the heat doing what he loves haha. He will be 3 next month, and I hope he never loses his feisty personality! When it's this hot, I find myself craving big, hunger quenching salads that can serve as a complete meal. I'm talking about fully loaded - packed with protein, nuts, cheese, and all the good stuff that makes them hearty enough to keep you full and happy without turning on the oven! Do you have a dog (or a pet)? If so I’d love to hear about it, and feel free to share a photo! Happy cooking, Marcie Loaded SaladsWant More Summer Salad Recipes?

Hi Reader, Fourth of July is just days away, so I'm thinking you probably have your menu planned all planned out, but you can use some easy last minute snacks to enjoy. These are all fresh, simple and require NO COOKING because baby it's hot outside! I hope you all have a wonderful Fourth and I'll be back next week with some new recipes. 😊 What are you making for Fourth of July? Hit reply and let me know! Happy cooking!

Hi Reader, I'm super excited for the Fourth of July. We're going to a barbecue, so I'm going to bring a side...and probably something extra because that's how I am. 😉 I'm not sure which dish(es) I'll bring yet though -- I'm so torn! There are too many great options. For me, the side dishes steal the show. Potato and pasta salads, slaws, corn on the cob and cornbread muffins can definitely steal the show, and if you're like me, you're always on the lookout for exciting new recipes. I'm sharing...
Hi Reader, I'm in disbelief that we're over halfway through June already! I've had summer desserts on my mind A LOT lately (I've been especially craving fruit crisp!), so I thought I'd round up a collection of Fourth of July dessert ideas. They're all festive, they feed a crowd, and they can be made in advance. And there's no reason why you have to wait until the Fourth to make these. It's summer after all and these recipes make the most of it. :) Before we get to those, I've got a new recipe...
