Fresh August salads + meet our new puppy! πΏπΆ
|
Hi friends, I can't believe we're already in August! Summer always seems to fly by, and this one has been especially busy for our family. The biggest news around here is that we welcomed a new puppy! Meet Phoebe, our 5-month-old Cane Corso. She's already keeping us on our toes with her goofy personality, endless energy, and oversized paws. It's been so much fun watching her settle into our family (even if she's convinced every shoe is a chew toy!). We also celebrated two birthdays this monthβmy middle daughter's birthday and my own! It was wonderful spending time together and taking a little break to celebrate before jumping back into another busy stretch of summer. If you've been following along for a while, you know sports keep us moving. All three of my girls had an incredible few weeks, competing in their Provincial Grand Championships, traveling to a tournament in Lancaster, New York, and attending hockey prospect camps in Boston, Erie, Pennsylvania, and Rochester. We've spent plenty of hours on the road, but watching them work hard and do what they love makes every mile worth it. With all that running around, I've been leaning on simple, fresh meals that make the most of August produce. This is one of my favorite months for salads because tomatoes are at their sweetest, cucumbers are crisp, corn is at its peak, berries are still plentiful, and peaches add the perfect touch of summer sweetness. That's why I put together this collection of August saladsβeasy recipes that are perfect for busy weeknights, backyard BBQs, meal prep, and soaking up the last weeks of summer. Inside the collection you'll find: Whether you're harvesting from your garden, shopping at the farmers' market, or just looking for dinner inspiration, there's something for everyone. βπ See all 24 August Salad Recipes here!β I hope you find a new favorite recipe to enjoy while summer is still here. As always, thank you for being part of the Salads4Lunch community. I love sharing these recipes with you and appreciate every email you open, recipe you try, and comment you leave. β

Hi Reader, Happy November! The air is cooler, the produce aisle is full of deep reds, oranges and greens, and salads are getting cozier. Here's what's freshest this month: Fruits at their best: apples, pears, cranberries, pomegranates, mandarin oranges, persimmons, and grapes. Vegetables at their best: Brussels sprouts, butternut squash, sweet potatoes, kale, cabbage, beets, cauliflower, broccoli, pumpkin, leeks, turnips, and radishes. Cooking with what's in season usually means better flavor...
Hi Reader, Hello, October! There's something about this month that gets me every year β it's the sweet spot where late-summer produce (tomatoes, grapes, the last of the stone fruit) overlaps with fall's first arrivals. That overlap is exactly what makes October salads so good. Here's what to look for at the market or in your grocery store's produce section this month: Fruits at their best: apples, pears, pomegranates, cranberries, grapes, figs, persimmons, and the last of the plums....
Hello, September! There's nothing like that first crisp morning to remind you fall is on its way β and with it comes one of my favorite harvest windows of the year. Before we get into all things seasonal produce, let me catch you up on our August. What we've been up to August was all about transitions in our house. My youngest, Amber (15), traded in her summer softball gear for her hockey gear β pucks, early morning practices, and all. Meanwhile, my two oldest, Brooke (19) and Sierra (21),...
