Summer Cravings

It has been very warm this week which leaves me less than interested in cooking. Instead, I’m craving cool salads to assemble with a mix of fresh ingredients like the above. I’ll give these recipes a try to mix things up a bit! And, doesn’t everything look better in a bowl? I use Crate & Barrel’s Marin Pasta Bowl for everything from eggs, yogurt or fruit in the morning to veggies with a protein at dinner.  I usually prefer white dishes, but, I’ve got my eye on that speckled ceramic beauty (2) that’s featured frequently on Pinch of Yum.
