Theres a secret to making the most refreshing summ

Theres a secret to making the most refreshing summertime orzo pasta salad! My secret ingredient is freshly squeezed orange juice. The orange juice gives this salad the lightest most refreshing taste with a hint of sweetness. Whenever i serve this salad on the table i get bombarded with questions on how to make it. Now that you know my secret, please give it a try this summer when you’re hosting or bring it along if you’re being hosted. I promise, this salad will be first to disappear from the table. This recipe is the perfect side for meal-prep and you can make it ahead of time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
one small pack of orzo (340 grams) — boiled to al-dente in salted water
¼ cup of olive oil, to taste
½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice, to taste
3 finely diced mini cucumbers
2 finely diced tomatoes

½ of a finely diced red onion (i soaked mine in water for 20 minutes to make it milder)
½ cup finely chopped fresh parsley, to taste
1 tablespoon dry oregano

My creamy broccoli ricotta pasta will be your new

My creamy broccoli ricotta pasta will be your new favorite dish. The sauce is not only delicious, it’s nutritious made with hidden veggies which you’ll never know are in here. This sauce is the perfect way to sneak in veggies if you have picky eaters. To make this a kid-friendly pasta dish you can also call it “green monster” pasta and have fun with it by using kid-friendly pasta shapes as well. The ricotta in this dish makes the sauce super creamy and light but feel free to use cottage cheese if you’re looking to boost up the protein. Broccoli, spinach, onions and garlic are all a nutritional powerhouse full of vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants so don’t be afraid to load up on the sauce! If you like this recipe, please let me know below and feel free to make it your own. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4 cups broccoli, cut into florets
1 sliced yellow onion
4 cloves of garlic
drizzle of olive oil
salt, to taste
400 grams pasta of choice (100 grams per person)
½ cup ricotta
½ cup grated parmigiano reggiano
1 cup baby spinach, or a handful
1 cup of pasta water (or filtered water)

This semolina cake is also known as “gris halva” in bulgaria. Semolina halva is one of the most delicious desserts in the balkans. It’s basically semolina that is slowly toasted in oil until golden, soaked in hot syrup and pressed into any pan/mold you like. This is the dessert that almost every country from the balkans, to the mediterranean to india (and every country in between) claim as their own. I always say that food unites us all so i am grateful no matter where this delicious dessert first originated from. Our sweet semolina cake is not only dairy-free, it’s egg-free as well. We call this recipe the 1:2:3:4 recipe as traditionally it requires 1 part oil, 2 parts semolina, 3 parts sugar, 4 parts water. The traditional method is always too oily or sweet for us so we like to reduce the sugar and oil by half. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4 cups water
1. 5 cups sugar
slice of lemon (optional)
½ cup mild tasting oil, i used avocado oil
2 cups semolina #2 (400 grams) coarse semolina
