Grilled Summer Vegetable Panzanella
This grilled vegetable salad is filled with summer zucchini and eggplant that are marinated in an herby dressing. Crusty croutons help soak up the flavours. The optional feta cheese adds a briny finish but if you prefer a dairy-free option, top the salad off with some crunchy Maldon salt flakes - regular or smoked.

The Big Summer Salad

The Big Summer Salad
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.

Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

These have been on of our favourites for years and I often make them when I have a half a carton of ricotta leftover. My favourite way to serve them is with warmed maple syrup and a dollop of blueberry jam or fresh blueberries.
