This Cold Salad Might Just Save Your Weeknight Dinners


Hi Reader!

August! It's really showing off right now! I want to take advantage of every juicy tomato, sweet ear of corn, ripe peach, and zucchini in every form. It's beautiful out there.

These are some of my favorite late-summer recipes — easy dinners I'm planning for the month, and most importantly, the dessert I make multiple times when August rolls around.

Hope your week is filled with lots of summer and lots of color!

But before that, my latest recipe is:

No oven, no fuss. Just boil, toss, and eat. The perfect hot-weather dinner.

BONUS — more summer recipes I hope you’ll love:

  1. Tomato Chicken with Spinach and Peppers — rich tomato sauce, perfect for summer nights
  2. Zucchini Scarpaccia — crispy Italian zucchini tart, ready in 30 minutes
  3. Peach Vanilla Cake — light, fruity, and no gelatin needed
  4. Tomato and Feta Salad — fresh, tangy, and on the table in 15 minutes
  5. Romanian Eggplant Salad — smoky, creamy, and great on crusty bread
  6. Easy Potato Salad — creamy, tangy, and perfect for BBQs
  7. Quick Tuna Rice Salad — fast, filling, and great for meal prep
  8. Greek Salad with Cherry Tomatoes & Feta — classic Mediterranean favorite

Have a great weekend!

Hi Reader! These last few weeks of summer always feel like they're moving at double speed — busy, beautiful, and already slipping away. 😭 Which is exactly when I want dinner to feel fresh, fun, and EASY. Enter: bowls! The beauty of a bowl is how easily it adapts to whatever you're craving. Start with rice, noodles, or greens. Add your protein. Then pile on the extras — cucumber, grated carrots, kimchi, pickled onions, or a sprinkle of sesame seeds. A little crunch, a little tang, and suddenly...

Hi Reader! Today's recipe is a creamy chicken and mushroom stew straight from Romanian home cooking — tender chicken and mushrooms in a silky, comforting sauce. Traditionally served over mămăligă (Romanian polenta), though it's just as good with bread or mashed potatoes if that's what you have on hand.
