Top Foodie Tips for Summer

Summer is in full swing, and you know what that means.... BBQ's, beers, and lots of hot dogs and hamburgers. I came across this summer food tips on Food Network.com and thought I would share them with you awesome readers!

Quinoa & Pineapple Fried Rice

So my pineapple filled dishes lives on in this quinoa fried rice! I love fried rice ( and most fatty, greasy Chinese food for that matter.) I've been making healthier versions of Chinese food at home for some time now like sticky orange chicken. Fried rice is something I have not tackled before, so what better time than the present?I used a recipe from Cooking Light. My favorite go to for light recipes!

Grilled Veggie & Goat Cheese Crostini

Summer is here people! I was looking for a light dinner and did not want to even step foot near my stove. I found this recipe on Whole Foods.com and I could not wait to get home and grill my dinner! These are what I would call a fancy open face sandwich and it could not be easier to cook! If you were looking for smaller portions for appetizer just use smaller portions of bread and slice veggies a bit smaller and this will wow your guests!

Spicy Turkey & Pineapple Tacos with a Lime Crema

Mexican lovers rejoice! I have found the taco that tickles all the taste buds! Hot,sweet,crunchy and tart. This taco has it all! As a lover of Mexican food, I could not help, but make a summer twist on the usual taco. To brighten up the flavor I used chopped pineapple! Sounds weird? Fruit in a taco? Trust me, it's delicious! It actually gives the turkey some caramelization and balances out the spiciness of the jalapeno and chipotle powder.

Cinnamon-Hazelnut Biscotti

Happy Father's Day to all of those amazing dad's in the world!! My dad has been so supportive of my blogging so it was only fair that I made him some of these delicious biscotti for him to enjoy for Father's Day this year. And let me tell you, this was one heck of a gift because I tasted these and they were delicious!

Less is More: Cacio e Pepe

I am starting to realize sometimes less is more. It is a rare event that I will actually make a recipe that has more than 10 ingredients so when I heard about this recipe from my friend Darci, I was ready to cook it immediately. She ate this when we went to  Eataly in NYC and once I saw ( and tasted) this simple dish I was hooked! I figured what better recipe to follow than Mario Batali's!
