Dinner Last Night

I was in the mood for a pizza, but needed a wave of inspiration, so what did I do...google "Summer Pizza Ideas." And what popped up, lemony zucchini goat cheese pizza...BRILLIANT! This recipe was unbelievably quick and easy to make. Added bonus: the goat cheese/lemon spread was divine and the perfect salty-and-tart compliment to the crunch of the zucchini and squash slices. Definitely will be making this bad boy again.

Green Fruit Salad

Have you fruit salad before using only one color? No? Me neither... But I like the idea! While flipping through this month's Living magazine, I saw her recipe for a green fruit salad. Literally green, as in green fruit only! No pop of pink or blue, simply a concoction of green fruits - genius!

Usually when I make fruit salad, I toss in whatever fruit I have on hand; typically apples, bananas, a seasonal berry and it always tastes good, but I'm enjoying this monochromatic green-only salad, what great way to mix it up.

For this particular salad, just brainstorm your fave green fruits; green apple, green grapes, honeydew, kiwi, a dash of honey and lemon thyme. And, if you're feeling extra ambitious, toss in mint, pistachios, and avocado for an extra burst of green.

Snacking Last Night

I had some leftover zucchini from a summer vegetable pasta I made a few days ago, and decided to try something new, ricotta zucchini fritters. Who knew zucchini was so easy to grate? They turned out quite well, although I would've loved a great dipping sauce or aioli. Any ideas of what would pair best with zucchini fritters?
