Mushroom, Scallion, and Cheese Omelet
I love omelets! So easy and nutritious, with protein and a handful of veggies. This one keeps it simple but still tasty with hearty mushrooms and onions.
Creamy Salmon Pasta Salad
Fresh salmon and fresh veggies, that you probably have in your fridge, make up this easy salad. Fresh salmon takes approximately the same amount of time to cook as the pasta but go with canned if that's what you have on hand. Growing up by the sea, I've eaten a fair amount of salmon and pasta salad; this is a combination of many recipes that I've tried.
Very Berry Tea Smoothie
Summer's best berries meet up with banana, pineapple, mint, and black tea in this light and colorful smoothie. A splash of lemon juice adds just the right brightness to the mix.
