5 fresh sides for your Memorial Day weekend ☀️
|
Hi Reader, While it's been a weirdly cold spring in the Midwest, I'm so ready for lake days, summer, long holiday weekends, and all the pasta salads and fresh food that comes with it! Whether you're home or away for Memorial Day weekend, here are a few fresh and seasonal side dish recipes to go alongside whatever you're cooking. 1. Pesto Pasta Salad with ChickenThis recipe is incredibly simple and uses a lot of pantry staples for flavor. For added crunch and freshness, I love adding spinach or arugula right before serving.
2. Creamy Cucumber SaladA classic for a reason! Easy to make, goes with everything, super refreshing.
3. Snap Pea & Edamame SaladFresh, flavorful, and stays crunchy in the fridge!
4. Everyday Leafy Green SaladUse up those spring greens and radishes with a simple, fluffy green salad with lemon vinaigrette. A side that can go with anything!
5. Shrimp Mango SaladZesty and scoop-able, so get out those tortilla chips! We rarely have leftovers with this one.
Enjoy! 💛 Tera

I'll eat them while they're available, but that's one thing about having a realistic approach to eating seasonally—you don't have to eat strictly seasonally, only locally, all the time. If you do, amazing. But I think I live...
Hey Reader, How are you at planning ahead and/or prepping for meals? Do you like doing it? I wouldn't say I'm a consistent meal planner or meal prep person, but when possible, I do like to have 1-2 of the following prepped for the week: proteins, grains, and/or beans (cooked from dried). They simplify weekly meals so much, plus they can be adapted with any seasonal veggies available. And this Instant Pot peperoncini chicken has been on repeat at my house for that exact purpose. It's truly a...
Hey Reader! How popular are salads at your house? Or how do you feel about them? Personally, I love them. They're such an easy no-cook side, plus I really enjoy fresh, crunchy veggies with different textures, cheeses, seeds, herbs, and allll the olive oil.

I consider that HUGE win, which exactly why we've made this snap pea and...
