NehaNBB I had no idea that caesar dressing was ever prepared table-side. I guess it makes sense. We need to bring that back!

Brianne Did you make the horchata at home? With almonds or rice?
-
JenniferEmilson Hi @Brianne I've attached the link to the Horchata recipe on my blog. It's amazing. I use both almonds and brown rice.
Instead of the usual pesto, try making scape soup. Grill the tops for a garnish!

sugardetoxme great tip @JenniferEmilson!
-
lauren I do love my pesto, but this sounds amazing!
-
JenniferEmilson It's just such a great switch up from pesto! @lauren @sugardetoxme
If you're going to grill your meat, grill some taters as well!! Parboiled, then marinated in butter and herbs and skewered.

gingerandchorizo Looks so yummy!!
Taking the last of my fave melon, cucumber, mint and pineapple and popsicle'd them!!

lauren Just did this the other day with some muddled raspberries! So delicious + refreshing
Switching up tabbouleh thanks to the Zahav cookbook! Keep the dressing separate and this salad will last for days!
