Spring vermicelli bowls! Flavor packed with charred asparagus and just a tad sweet from the blood orange nuoc cham, this dish is an easy weeknight dinner that’s extra special with skirt steak.
Lighter Eggplant Parm
Good eggplant parm is one of my absolute favorite foods. The eggplant is custardy, the tomatoes are just a tad sweet, and the combination of shallow-fried breadcrumbs, tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil is just divine.
Watermelon Lime Agua Fresca
Watermelon lime auga fresca – one of my favorite summer drinks of choice, and it’s just 2 ingredients 🙂 You can use any blender you have, and the key is to strain the blended watermelon and use freshly squeezed lime juice. Top with tequila to make this a special drink for happy hour, or make a large pitcher of this at a summer BBQ, and enjoy!

Warm Zucchini Salad with Pasta, Crispy Breadcrumbs, and Burrata is my pasta of choice for the summer! It’s SO simple to make, and feels light, flavorful, and delicious. Did I mention it’s vegetarian and great for meatless Monday? 🙂

How to Prep and Cook Fava Beans
