When I think of this Nectarine & Kale Salad, I think of summer and this salad screams last licks of summer. Just picture it- melting ice cream, lazing in a hammock, cannonballs in the pool – all the things we love about those warm months. My best summer memories are the years I stayed home with my mother and had “Camp Mommy”. I spent long lazy days in the pool and barbecued almost every night. My mother made sure I had plenty to do with art projects, sports with my siblings, and even fun field trips. As a result these summers became some of my most cherished memories. Summer means…

Rosh Hashana Egg Rolls With Dipping Sauce
Rosh Hashana Egg Rolls? What? Chinese food isn’t for Rosh Hashana (Jewish New Year)!! Or is it? We don’t commonly associate Chinese food with a typical spread served during Rosh Hashana but, the simanim or symbolic foods can be prepared in many different ways.

Homemade Limonana
“When life gives you lemons, grab some mint and make Limonana!” Limonana is a delicious refreshing drink that showcases Mint as its main star. Limonana is a Middle Eastern drink that is just filled with tasty simple ingredients such as lemon, honey and of course like we mentioned mint. It pretty much is summer in a cup, and what better way to end summer than bottling it all up and enjoying it with a few friends! Did I also mention its super quick and easy to put together? And it’ll be all ready before you can even finish saying Limonana Cheers to that! XO -D

Blueberry OPOPsicles
I never met anyone who didn’t like blueberries…ok I have….I just never understood them:) This summer my friends and I went Berry Picking out in Long Island, and just the drive alone out there screamed summer. The beautiful warm weather, driving along these big open roads, and the fields of berries that were awaiting us were such #goodvibes. At first it was a bit tricky to find berries ripe enough, but we finally got the hang of it and picked out a nice amount to fill up a few containers! When I got home I was thinking what can I do with these berries…what magic transformation can I give them?…
