Best of Bridge Bowtie Shrimp & Pesto Pasta
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
Bowtie pasta, also known as farfalle, means butterfly in Italian. We love how the pesto nestles into the pinched centre of the pasta for more flavour in each bite. Using bottled pesto is a great supermarket hack, or use our recipe for Small Batch Pesto when harvesting the basil.
BLT Salad
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
When tomatoes start to flood the market in their vivid technicolor hues, it’s time to deconstruct the bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich. Such tomatoes are too eye appealing to hide between slices of bread. Make them the stars of the BLT, drizzling them with a creamy dressing, then topping them with some wispy greens and crisp-fried bacon. Use the tastiest tomatoes you can find, preferably in a variety of colors, sizes, and shapes. Offer bread on the side for mopping up the flavorful juices.

This is a perfect warm weather summer dish, using seasonal peaches. Add a tossed green salad and a glass of crisp white wine and you have the makings of a great summer meal.
The Big Summer Salad
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
This salad is an excellent example of using whatever you have on had to make a great meal. If you don't have heirloom tomatoes, just use cherry tomatoes (I love using red and yellow ones if you have them), substitute peaches or plums for the nectarines, romaine or spinach for kale, curly kale for Tuscan and even red wine or balsamic vinegar for white wine vinegar. And feel free to use store-bought croutons for the homemade ones. I'll even add some cooked chicken or beef to this salad for the whole-meal-deal! Go ahead, make it your own, but at least you've got something to start with.
