Coming atcha with another no-cook recipe to beat t Coming atcha with another no-cook recipe to beat the summer heat! Gazpacho is one of those recipes where every time I make it I’m like “why don’t I make this more often?!” You’ll love it because:
•obvi, no cooking necesssary!
•the blender does all the work for you
•gluten free/dairy free/vegan etc
•you can garnish it with all the fun toppings
•takes just 5-10 min to make
•soooo fresh and light! 

I like to serve it along side some grilled shrimp or crusty bread and you’ve got yourself the perfect summer meal. 🙌☀️. 

The trick is to taste as you go and tweak it to your taste depending on how sweet your tomatoes are or how spicy your peppers are.  You may need a little more sea salt or an extra squeeze of lime.  Use the recipe as a starting point and then let yourself get creative and play around! Remember: cooking is supposed to be fun! 

Summer Gazpacho
2 pounds of roma tomatoes, cored
1 small onion peeled and quartered (yellow or red)
1 cucumber cut into large chunks
1 pepper (your choice, I used poblano for medium spice level, seeded if you want to keep it mild)
2 garlic cloves peeled
1/2 cup of quality extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons of sherry vinegar 
1 lime juiced (sometimes 2)
Splash of topo chico to add lightness
Blend it up and top with chopped tomato, cucumber, fresh corn or pepitas and a drizzle of olive oil.

Even if you’re not a fan of my corny jokes, hope Even if you’re not a fan of my corny jokes, hopefully you’ll appreciate my corny kitchen hacks! 🌽😋. 

In my house our summers are fueled by watermelons and fresh corn!  I love adding it to salsas, salads, dips, you name it.  This is my favorite simple trick for making sure you collect all the corn goodness in a bowl instead of on your floor!  Comment if you use this trick too! 👇

By now you’ve undoubtedly heard of the viral “ By now you’ve undoubtedly heard of the viral “Jennifer Aniston” salad that she ate every day on the set of Friends for 10 years. 🥗 A little research debunked the story and it turns out it was actually more of a Cobb salad that she ate every day.  Regardless, this viral salad is still crazy delicious!

This light and bright Mediterranean quinoa salad is packed with cucumber, red onion, chickpeas, herbs, pistachios and feta. Tons of lemon zest and juice add a powerful punch of flavor.  If you need me, I’ll be packing this up for all my picnics this summer!
