Summer
When the summer heat really takes hold in Toronto, the last thing I want to do is turn on the stove! That’s why these summer recipes focus on fresh, light, and flavorful dishes – most of which require little to no cooking.
Looking for summer recipes to keep the kids entertained? Get them involved in the kitchen with homemade strawberry soda or a refreshing peach-banana smoothie.
Hosting a backyard BBQ? Try a few clean-eating versions of classic cookout dishes like new potato salad with tomatoes and dill or mango cucumber salad. If you’re in the mood for something light yet satisfying to enjoy by the pool, my spinach salad with chicken and strawberries is the perfect pick.
Of course, summer wouldn’t be complete without ice cream! Cool off with creamy homemade mango or raspberry no-churn ice cream, or treat yourself to homemade blueberry frozen yogurt. No matter what dish you’re making, don’t forget to pair it with a refreshing glass of cucumber lemon mint water to stay cool and hydrated.
