ON THE BLOGS THIS WEEK: Pizza and salad would possibly sound like whole opposites, one’s tacky, gooey, and indulgent, whereas the opposite is mild, crisp, and refreshing. However put them collectively? You’ve obtained the most effective of each worlds on this pizza salad.

Smoked salmon pasta looks like spring or summer season in a bowl. It’s mild and lemony with an excellent steadiness of flavors. The lemon cuts by the creaminess, the salmon brings that barely smoky depth, and the pine nuts add simply the fitting crunch.

Let’s simply get this out of the best way now, I’m obsessed with this vegetable confetti. For about 15 years now, I’ve stored a ready-to-eat vegetable box in our fridge, and we pull it out a number of occasions a day for snacking.

That is the cookies and cream ice cream of my childhood desires. Frosted circus animal cookies dance by each chunk of this animal cookie ice cream.

What I’m CRAVING: Rebecca shared these Greek yogurt brownies final week, and oh my phrase, they appear unimaginable! No eggs AND no butter required, the Greek yogurt does all of the heavy lifting to create these ultra-rich brownies. They’re absolutely calling my title as we speak.

For those who’ve been taking part in Hitster and loving it anyplace close to as a lot as we’ve over the previous yr, you want this enlargement sport. It’s an entire new 300+ songs that aren’t included within the unique set. We’ve performed by it twice already and are having fun with it each bit as a lot as the unique.
