Strawberry and Watermelon Salad
This recipe is by far one of my favourites. We published it last year on June 20th but we had to bring it back a bit earlier because this time around since it is a side salad you’ll want to overwork this season. I’ve already started serving it and the four kids we had for dinner last week all gobbled it up. It’s that good. Pinky swear.
I don’t know about you, but I’m out of breath. It’s the end of the school year in addition to every extra curricular program so there’s a lot going on. In the next seven days, we have a ballet dress rehearsal, ballet recital, school graduation ceremony, end of school party as well as a birthday party. I’ll have to muster a gift for every teacher and instructor, don’t forget music, swimming and tennis. Oh, and it’s me and my husband’s anniversary. (Please forward any good gift ideas.) It’s enough to make a mom who works on the side a little nuts. It’s why I fell in love with this salad.
Sweet Stuff: Stainless Steel Popsicle Molds
At last, the sun broke through the rain clouds here in Ontario the last few days and it was glorious. It finally felt like Spring. Actually, it was so warm it could have been Summer. So it got me thinking about warm-weather treats. (It’s really never too soon to be thinking about summer treats if you ask me!) I really want to find a way to make a Dairy Queen Blizzard healthy. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? In the meantime, I think I’ll take comfort in making some of my own popsicles. Ok, it’s not a blizzard but they still do the trick on a hot day. I found these stainless steel molds that make fresh, frozen treats in a flash. The best part is you can dream up your own treat. I’m already thinking about a mango peach pop. A set comes with six molds, a stand as well as a dozen silicone rings. Heat wave, anyone? Available on bynature.ca for $39.98. Read more
Roundup: Favourite Asparagus Recipes
It’s Spring Fever week here on SPC and to me, nothing screams Spring more than asparagus. It is one of my favourite vegetables and it is much more flavorful during the Spring months. It’s so versatile and can be made as a side dish, or incorporated into a main dish, the possibilities are endless. When I see a bunch of asparagus at my grocery store, I can’t help but buy it, but then, it stares at me from the fridge, day after day, each time I look, there it is. I hope I’m not alone in this, but sometimes I just don’t know what to do with what I have in my fridge. Luckily the SPC have so many delicious asparagus recipes that I will be out buying more asparagus just to give them a try! Read more
