Honeydew Salad with Peanuts and Lime

A refreshingly sweet and salty honeydew salad with peanuts and lime – the perfect simple side salad for summer!
Honeydew Salad with Peanuts and Lime

Let’s start with the cold, hard truth that I’ve eaten a LOT of boring fruit salad in my life. 

You know the kind I mean – the pre-packaged mixes of grapes, cantaloupe, pineapple, strawberries, and blueberries that line every supermarket produce wall year-round. My mom is infamous for bringing it by the bucketful to family gatherings (yes, even in winter) and then wondering why no one is eating it. My experience with those is that the fruit somehow tastes generically the same but also like nothing at all at the same time. 

Fruit salad needs to be fresh and seasonal, and (in my opinion) it needs a dressing to keep things interesting. Otherwise, you’re just eating a fruit platter, which is totally fine, but let’s just call it what it is.

What To Cook This Week – 7/10/21

Add Comment

Hello, hello!

We’re in full blown summer (and, apparently, daily thunderstorm season) with some of the most delicious meals this week!!

  • We’re kicking off this week’s meal plan with a meal that screams summer – burrata caprese with tomatoes, peaches, and basil vinaigrette. OMG it’s the best. Take my advice and make this every week until peaches and tomatoes no longer taste good. You’ll be all the happier for it.
  • Next up are the healthy-ish roasted zucchini and quinoa bowls. They’re dressed in a to-die-for cilantro pepita pesto and have some feta mixed in a for a little bit of creamy saltiness. Make a big batch and eat this for easy lunches throughout the week!
  • Tuesday’s pasta with zucchini, tomatoes, pistachios, and feta is one of those easy feel-good meals. It’s so simple but so tasty, and really warms the heart.
  • Summer tacos for Wednesday! Filled with roasted sweet potatoes, poblano peppers, black beans, and corn – basically all things good. I’ll be making these on Instagram Stories this week, so keep an eye out for them!
  • Finally, we’re ending the week with my eggplant burgers with honey beer-glazed caramelized shallots. If you’ve never made eggplant-based veggie burgers, then you are missing out. They have a great texture and are beloved even by the eggplant haters who live in my house.
  • For dessert, we’re having peach caramel pie! Let me tell you, there is nothing better.

YUM! Happy eating!

Cherry Coconut Almond Cake

The truth about this cherry coconut almond cake is that if you make it tonight, it will be absolutely gone by lunchtime tomorrow.

It doesn’t matter how many people live in your house or how hungry you think you’ll be tonight or how much pizza you plan on ordering.

No matter what your life circumstances, you will spend the evening and the morning and probably the mid-morning cutting yourself just one more small sliver until you realize you’ve eaten an entire cake in less than twelve hours.

Creamy Bucatini with Zucchini, Peas, and Spinach

We’re pouring our ENTIRE crisper drawer (and even an item or two from the freezer) into a pound of pasta today, adding some cream, and calling it dinner!!

Really pretty psyched about that.

It basically couldn’t be easier and it might get our significant others off our back about the ice cream canister that’s been taking up prime real estate (unused) in the freezer for the better half of a year.

WIN/WIN.
