LAMB SLIDERS WITH HERBED YOGURT SAUCE
Have I mentioned that these lamb sliders are my daughter Rosie’s favorite dinner? They’re little flavor-packed lamb patties served on lettuce wraps in lieu of buns. You can swap some of the lamb and pork in the recipe for turkey if you prefer and it will still be plenty tasty. Side dishes? I’d do up some little roasted potatoes or another favorite roasted vegetable to dunk in the extra yogurt sauce on your plate.
EASY HALIBUT IN PARCHMENT WITH CORN AND MUSHROOMS
I just posted this recipe and figured I’d better get it in the rotation while fresh corn is still in season. You can prep the mushrooms and shear the corn off the cobs ahead of time. Pulling it together after that will be snap. Make sure you have parchment paper on hand, since you will need it!
SUMMER APRICOT GRILLED CHEESE
Who says a simple sandwich can’t qualify as supper? I love adding sweet fruits (pears, apples, stone fruits, etc) to grilled cheese sandwiches. A bit of arugula adds a peppery bite. If you have prosciutto on hand, you could slip a slice of that in there as well. Pull together a pile of veggie crudite or a favorite green salad to serve on the side.
LIGHTER GREEN GODDESS DRESSING
Speaking of salad, this is my favorite summer dressing. It’s excellent to keep on hand for pouring over good tomatoes, crunchy cucumber, and grilled zucchini.
BERRIES AS CUTE AS A CUPCAKE
Presentation can be key when it comes to feeding kids. Case in point is the simple magic of putting pretty berries into cupcake papers. Suddenly it feels special.
