I don’t know noodles, did I douse you in enough semolina? #howsweeteats #theprettydish 🍝🥂

There are HUNDREDS more! If you have your book, request access to join the group! We’re doing lots of fun things in there along with some exclusive giveaways!

May was such a fun month. I saw more people fall in love with salmon after making the BBQ blackened salmon than I thought possible. Lots of you made the burgers this past weekend and the strawberry tart was also a huge hit.

But now… it’s time to move on to these hot hot hot summer months. So!

June Book Club Recipes

For June’s book club recipes, we have all sorts of summery options! Breakfasts and snacks, lunch and dessert! See below for all this deliciousness that we’re going to cook together in June.

Pitaya Popsicles (or bowls!)

Bacon Blue Chopped Shrimp Salad

Poblano Pesto Zoodles (just the pesto, or both!)

Salted Peanut Butter Mousse with Whipped Marshmallow

Cucumber Fizz

If you recall from last month’s post, these recipes are just an idea for things we can cook together! Over in the Facebook group, people make tons of recipes from the book (and the blog!) all the time. These are just fun seasonal options that we can make together and share. I love the cucumber fizz on a hot summer day (so refreshing!) and you can make either the pitaya bowls, the pops or both. The chopped salad is one of my favorites from the book (it is INSANE!) and the zoodles are such and easy vegetarian option – but you can always add chicken, shrimp or steak! You can also make the pesto alone and use it on pizzas or omelets or… whatever.

And of course, the peanut butter mousse is a great no-bake option. Please note that for the PB mousse, it’s one of the recipes where there is a typo in the first printing (it has since been corrected in the other printings!) – the marshmallow calls for 1/2 cup of cream of tartar, but it’s 1/2 teaspoon!

I can’t even WAIT to see what you guys do this month!
