This recipe, found on simplyfreshcooking.com is a great way to use arugula. The great thing about pesto is that it’s so versatile. You can literally use any kind of leafy green in place of the arugula – even spinach, mustard greens, swiss chard.

This is a fantastic summer dish that requires a bit of planning ahead, but not a lot of cook time. Grilled salmon doesn’t need much. Make sure that it is coated thoroughly in the marinade so that it doesn’t stick to the grill.

Found on thecoconutmama.com food blog, these bacon and egg coconut flour muffins are easy to make and are wonderful high protein breakfast option. I make a few batches of these every month so my family has a healthy, protein rich, quick breakfast option on hand. They freeze well too! This recipe is very flexible. You can omit the sour cream if you don’t have any on hand. The sour cream makes these muffins a little less dense and more fluffy. You can also swap sausage or steak in place of the bacon if you prefer.

This is a creamy, colorful and unique soup that has become a “regular” in my seasonal arsenal. The recipe makes about 8 cups but it can easily be doubled. And it freezes beautifully! Do try it.

This recipe is from Gourmet magazine and can be found on epicurious.com. It requires lots of chopping, but is relatively easy. I generally double the recipe when I make it, because it goes very quickly. Note that the lentils may need more cooking time, depending on whether you have pre-soaked them or they are dry. Buy the pre-cooked lentils at Trader Joe’s to save time! Serves 2 generously.
