Cookbook Notes: Online Recipe Edition

I've been trying out a few new recipes lately and thought I'd share. Also, I added a link to a printable version of my Roasted Chickens recipe at the bottom of that post.

Salmon with Grapefruit Quinoa Salad from Food Network . Yum! This is a unique but delicious dish. It's perfect for summer as it's really refreshing and light. Instead of kebobs, we just grilled the salmon filets whole. I'll warn ya - go easy on the jalepeno. We LOVE spicy food and I followed the instructions to include the seeds when I chopped up the pepper. Boy was it spicy! We guzzled down milk while we ate it and I had to skip serving that portion of the meal to the kiddos. Next time, I'll definitely omit the seeds and ribs. Other than that, it's a keeper!

Watermelon Limeade from A Cozy Kitchen {Tasty Kitchen}. This is a great summer drink. It's a little work to juice the amount of limes required but the fresh taste is worth it. I think I'd double the recipe next time as it only makes enough for 4-6 servings. Something different and a great way to use up extra watermelon.

Baked Oatmeal with Fruit on the Bottom from ericalea {Tasty Kitchen}. Ooo, this is good! I've made it twice now. Once with apples, and again recently with nectarines and peaches. Both were heavenly. I made her warm vanilla sauce to accompany it the first time. Recently I just put a dollop of Brown Cow's maple yogurt on top. Both the sauce and yogurt went well with it but it'd be delicious even without. Instead of demerara sugar, I just used brown sugar.

Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Tart by sunshinekate83 {Tasty Kitchen}. Goodness gracious! This is a new favorite of ours. It's not complicated and the flavor is perfect - not overly rich, just enough tart raspberry and sweetness. The biscotti crust is far superior to a graham cracker crust. Yum! Try this soon while the raspberries are in season and inexpensive. I served ours with fresh whipped cream.

Slow Cooker French Dip from Megan {Tasty Kitchen}. This is one of the best french dip recipes I've tried so far. Granted, cooking with a slow cooker isn't exactly summer fare but it was easy and delicious. I served ours with toasted french rolls, provolone cheese and horseradish mayo. I think carmelized onions and/or sauteed mushrooms would be great with it too.

I've also had a few of my favorite summer recipes on my mind lately. We just made my Nana's Pavlova for Father's Day. If you haven't already, try it! It's a quick dessert to prep and assemble and goes with nearly any summertime menu.

And the Fresh Berry Tart. I've yet to make it this summer, but it's on my list after our next trip to the berry farm.
Grilled pork tenderloin and crunchy chinese salad are often on our menu in the summer months. So easy and so tasty!
