Watermelon Lassi

My boys and I just love, LOVE the fresh summer flavors in this watermelon lassi: watermelon, lime, mint and yogurt. For a lighter drink, you can leave out the yogurt; for a cooler treat, you can freeze this mix in popsicle molds!

Iced lemon ginger rooibos

When I was a kid iced tea came in one variety only--Lipton. I came to understand that the outside temperature was directly related to my consumption of said Lipton, extra ice please. But these days, at my advanced age of 31, I will admit that I can't handle the caffeine in a gallon of iced tea, so I came up with something herbal that still looks like my beloved Lipton with some added flavor for kicks.

Avocado dressing

This is so simple I hardly call it a recipe. Yet it is one of my Summer staples when I am making tasty, healthy ,quick Summer salads. Avocados are such a perfect fruit that I hate to do much to disguise their creamy, nutty flavor and this dressing stays true to that premise. I usually use Hass avocados ,the dark pebbly looking ones that have the best flavor(in my opinion).

Ruby Red Currant and Rhubarb Tart

This tart was created because of an abundance of red currants in my friend's back yard. The rhubarb and currants work together to make a tart (pun NOT intended) filling. Be aware: this tart is very juicy, so serve with a spoon and a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!

Avocado Lassi

Lassi as you all know is a famous drink made from yogurt and fruits, the mango lassi is the most famous one. But, sometimes we make Avocado Lassi also. Although, avocados are not available in India. In my city, there is a lassi shop, whose dry fruit lassi is so famous. So, this lassi is adapted from his dry fruit lassi which is full of dry fruits. Hope you like it.

Black Bean, Avocado and Pineapple salsa

So far, I've served this salsa with halibut, swordfish and tuna, but I suspect chicken and pork would also marry happily, or chips. It tastes better after the ingredients have spent some time together, so feel free to bring it along to a BBQ, a picnic or camping.

Garlic Scape & Basil Pesto

I am part of a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) and this week, I recieved one of my favorite ingredients, Garlic Scapes! They are actually the plant greens of garlic and only come around a few weeks out of the year! They are insanely delicious with their light garlic and earthy flavor and make for an amazing pesto. I served mine on spaghetti with pan roasted tomatoes. My recent batch included a mix of pine nuts, walnuts and marcona almonds which were all in my pantry and was devine! I also froze some for a great quick crostini when guests come over topped with Burrata cheese.

Barbara Kafka's Simplest Roast Chicken

Barbara Kafka's basic formula for roasting chickens in the high-heat method is about ten minutes to the pound for a chicken at room temperature, untrussed. Feel free to adapt this recipe up or down for larger or smaller birds using this rule (up to 7 pounds). Kafka urges us to have fun: "This is not astrophysics." Try stuffing instead with herbs, shallots, a quartered small onion, celery leaves, or juice or blood orange wedges. Recipe adapted from Adapted from Roasting: A Simple Art (William Morrow, 1995)
