Green Pea Mint Soup

It’s cold. And it’s the time of year when everyone in Northern Virginia wishes they did not live in Northern Virginia. March drags on forever, and just when you think you’ve made it to spring, Easter is chilly and there is sleet on Mother’s Day. This is the all-star springtime soup. This green pea minty soup basically has a salad on top and the crema can get really creative. So break out the wasabi, the green vibes, and the blender. Best part is this thing takes all of 20 minutes to make. It is bright and vibrant; perfect for Easter, perfect for Spring. You’re welcome.

one and a half slices paper plane cocktail recipe

Paper Plane

This cocktail has quickly become a favorite this summer after we ODed on Aperol Spritz’s early on thanks to my beautiful nephew and niece-in-law. The paper plane would be all too sweet if it weren’t for the bitterness added by, well, the bitters. As it stands, it’s a fresh, zesty, lemony, foamy, beautiful cocktail that will rival your summertime cosmo or G&T any day of the week. It is definitely here to stay.

Watermelon Feta Salad

Watermelon Feta Salad

Sometimes when the summer turns hot and the appetite begins to naturally wane, the fresh and light, zesty and fruitful begin to take precedence over the hearty. My solution to that is a collection of fruit-forward glorified snack meals that inventively leverage my latest CSA harvest and don’t fill me up to the point of sluggish (Like Peach Caprese Salad). Summertime is the time for watermelon – the hydrating, vibrant, impossibly sweet fruit that gave me my childhood moniker ‘Watermelonie.’ A favorite springtime flavor combination is strawberry-basil or strawberry-mint. Turns out that this also works well with watermelon. So if you’ve got one to spare this summer, try this as a salad or a snack. It’s got 3-4 total ingredients and won’t disappoint in the flavor category.  

🍉🍉🍉

what you need

As much watermelon as you want

As much fresh basil as you want

Some feta cheese

Maybe a little lemon zest, but only if you’re feeling fancy
