ON THE BLOGS THIS WEEK: Pizza and salad may sound like whole opposites, one’s tacky, gooey, and indulgent, whereas the opposite is gentle, crisp, and refreshing. However put them collectively? You’ve received the very best of each worlds on this pizza salad.

Smoked salmon pasta seems like spring or summer time in a bowl. It’s gentle and lemony with a terrific steadiness of flavors. The lemon cuts by way of the creaminess, the salmon brings that barely smoky depth, and the pine nuts add simply the suitable 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 saved a ready-to-eat vegetable box in our fridge, and we pull it out a number of instances a day for snacking.

This confetti, however? It’s good for tossing with crunchy greens for a lightning-fast salad, or just sauteing a little bit of the combo so as to add to some scrambled eggs or add some to a little bit of ground beef for quick tacos.

That is the cookies and cream ice cream of my childhood goals. Frosted circus animal cookies dance by way of each chew of this animal cookie ice cream.

What I’m CRAVING: Rebecca shared these Greek yogurt brownies final week, and oh my phrase, they appear unbelievable! 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 at the moment. So, you possibly can guess I’ll be making an attempt them asap.

My FAVORITE THING this week is the brand new Guilty Pleasure Hitster game! Should you’ve been taking part in Hitster and loving it wherever close to as a lot as we now have over the previous yr, you want this enlargement sport. It’s a complete new 300+ songs that aren’t included within the unique set. We’ve performed by way of it twice already and are having fun with it each bit as a lot as the unique.
