Easy Summer Eats

Just about this time every summer, as the thermometer creeps higher and higher, my motivation for cooking dinner gets lower and lower. At the end of the day the last thing I want to go is hunker down in the kitchen over a hot stove. Short of resorting to cheap and unhealthy (or expensive and somewhat healthy alternatives) takeout I turned to Pinterest and my friends to tantalize my tastebuds. Here are three simple recipes that I'm loving right now.

1 Kale Salad from Eat Live Run

I once harbored negative feelings about kale until a friend brought this over for dinner. I get about four dinner size servings from this recipes. It's as easy as chop, toss and eat.

2 Nectarine & Goat Cheese Pizza from Yummy Mummy

I cheated a little on the actual recipe. I used store bought naan which I dusted with olive oil and grilled on each side. Then I added the toppings and shoved it under the broiler for 10 minutes. It was a success, thanks for the inspiration Marina!

3 Spiced Black Bean, Grilled Avocado and Goat Cheese Tacos from Naturally Ella

I've yet to make this recipe but look at the image. How can it not be an amazing experience for the tastebuds? This is totally happening for book club food this week.
