Cherry Tomato Cashew Pesto Pasta

After spending three months in Italy, I developed a love for cherry tomato pasta like no other and during the warm summer months, I cannot think of anything better. To make this meal more nutrient dense, I recommend using a gluten free pasta with its main ingredients as chickpeas or lentils for a more complete complex carbohydrate yielding a higher plant based protein and dietary fiber content. Toss this dish with my creamy avocado pesto and fresh parmigiano reggiano for optimal satisfaction!

Lemon Basil Salmon with Steamed Veggies

A dinner that takes less than thirty minutes to make and all in one dish is my kind of meal. Adding fresh basil and lemon to this recipe not only brings out the perfect flavors of summer but keep it light and fresh. With the veggies and the fish folded into aluminum foil, this meal can be easily steamed on the grill for more of the charred flavor or roasted in the oven for a more smooth flavor. Either way, I cant’t wait for you to try!
