Hi friend,β
The other night, I found myself standing in the kitchen at 6:30, staring at the fridge and wondering what on earth to make for dinner. You know that feeling? I wanted something light and easy, but also good enough to feel like a little treat after a long day.
That moment reminded me why I started collecting and sharing simple, flavorful recipes in the first place β because we all deserve meals that feel doable and delicious, even on our busiest days.
So here are a few of my favorite summer-friendly recipes and tips from the blog β the ones I keep coming back to when I need a little inspiration in the kitchen.
π Strawberry Basil Simple Syrup β A sweet, herbal syrup to brighten your drinks and desserts.
π₯ͺ Buffalo Tuna Salad β Spicy, creamy, and ready in minutes for a quick lunch.
π₯ Creamy Chickpea Salad β A plant-based, make-ahead dish thatβs perfect for picnics or meal prep. This one is no cook, so it's perfect for hot summer days!
π₯£ DIY Nut-Free Trail Mix β A kid-friendly snack you can throw together in 5 minutes.
π Miso-Glazed Salmon in the Air Fryer β Light, flavorful, and cooks in under 10 minutes.
π₯ Egg & Bean Burrito β Freezer-friendly and packed with protein for breakfast or lunch.
π₯£ Crock Pot Bone Broth β Simmer it while you sleep for a nourishing base all week. I use this as base for so many things- like a ground beef orzo recipe I'm currently working on!
I hope these give you a little inspiration to make summer cooking feel effortless and fun.
π Until next time, hereβs to simple meals and slow evenings.
With warmth,
