I enjoy refreshing cocktails in the summer because of the abundance of fresh fruits and herbs. Pimm’s Cups are the (un)official beverage of Wimbledon and are more popular in the UK than the US. But what they are, are delicious. Light and fruity but without the cloying sweetness of simple syrup or loads of added sugar. And when it’s in the 90’s-100’s in the late summer, Pimm’s Cup Popsicles are an excellent way to cool down.
Sweet potatoes are one of those foods that I could eat every day. And sometimes I do. They’re extremely filling, flavorful, and versatile. Another thing I love are tacos. So why not combine them! These spicy sweet potato black bean tacos are such a satisfying meal and will leave you feeling full and happy.
One of my favorite things about summer is making salsa. Pico de gallo, tomatillo, black bean, watermelon (I promise it’s amazing!), and mango salsas just to name a few. Many times in my life I have made a salsa bar for dinner where fresh salsas and chips were all that were eaten. And to this day, those were some of my favorite meals. So, to get you started on your own summery salsa kick, I whipped up this Mango Jalapeno Salsa.
