With summer officially here, we are all turning to easy and fresh recipes. We're starting to clear out our pantries a little and are looking forward to the garden fresh produce that'll soon be more than abundant!

In looking back at what you all loved the most in June, it seems you were working through your supply of tuna and rice with new spins on the classics (I'm looking at you, tuna salad and vibrant turmeric rice!)

And I think it's safe to say we were all overjoyed to see strawberries and cherries in the markets –and you celebrated by roasting those gorgeous red berries into a saucy treat. Yes, you read that right... ROASTING FRUIT!

Here's to all the glorious bounty that summer has to offer!

    Fresh and vibrant colors and flavors are the name of this salad's game. What really takes it up a notch is the crunch from the jicama! It's a hearty salad that's perfect for any summer day.
