Roasted Vegetable Skillet Lasagne is a one-pan, weeknight dinner that the whole family will love.
And just like that we’ve transitioned into a new season after six months of home life.
Our three kiddos started school this week and we’re just holding on tight as we ride the roller coaster of emotions.
Relief. Sadness. Joy. Cautious hope. They are all mixed up together and no feeling is right or wrong.

This vibrant garden green minestrone soup is peak summer eating. It’s full of seasonal vegetables and loved by all.
So earlier this year you found yourself at home on some level of lockdown and decided that now was the time to plant a garden. While we were cooking comfort food, experimenting with tie-dye and home schooling, we also started seeds.
Now, mid-July, many of us are reaping the benefits of that spring planting. I’m getting tons of messages from you asking how to deal with all the herbs-gone-wild (make pesto), baskets of greens (toss this salad) and cucumbers (pickles, duh).
Today’s recipe embraces midsummer produce in a vibrant soup – the garden green minestrone.

With a recent heat wave that melted us over the summer solstice, our garden greens are growing with a vengeance.
I’m harvesting young lettuce, spinach, baby kale and radishes from my yard, and loving the new chard and arugula from local growers. It’s that time of year when we can barely keep up with the salad greens.
Maybe you’ve got a constant supply from your CSA box or your own garden is prolific. Either way, we could all use some fresh inspiration for serving up leafy greens.
Today’s recipe is a wilted mixed greens salad with a warm bacon vinaigrette. Yes! It also features that delicious flavour combination of spinach + egg + bacon that is such a classic. Read on for the recipe and an introduction to the Jubilee cookbook.

Loaded with grilled vegetables, cherry tomatoes and cannellini beans, this antipasto pasta salad is the picnic dish you need this summer.
Picnic season is here to stay; can we send up a collective “Thank goodness“? I love the family dinner table and all, but after months of self-isolating, it’s a relief to change up the view.
Whether we’ve journeyed to a nearby beach or settled on our dock, dinner al fresco is always far more fun. And on those days when it’s too hot to cook, a hearty pasta salad and a refreshing drink is all we need to be happy.
Hit the jump for today’s veggie-forward salad recipe and a little more picnic inspiration for the season.
