Camping Recipe: Strawberry Smores Forever

Today we're going to share one of those ridiculously simple why-didn't-I-think-of-that kind of recipes that will blow your socks off. And once you try it, you'll be coming up with different delicious variations for weeks. This changes the s'mores game, guys. No longer will you be limited by layers of graham crackers and chocolate, but our hope is that your horizons will expand to fruits and pretzels and cheeses. But don't worry, the classics will always have a place at our campfire.

This is a two ingredient recipe. Naturally you can add and subtract as your little heart desires, but we demand that you come back here and let us know what your favorites are!

Panko-Crusted Goat Cheese Salad



OK, so we might have been a little misleading earlier this week when we tweeted that we'd figured out how to fry salad. Well, I'm sorry. You can't actually fry salad, guys. That would be crazy. But this is about as close as you can get. As you bite into it, the crispy panko-crusted cheese crumbles and gives each bite a lovely, creamy crunch. Pair with sweet pears and strawberries and it's totally still healthy, right? That's how it works... Right?

Healthy Breakfast Smoothie

Today I'd love to share a recipe (if you can call it that) I use almost every day. Sipping this nutrient packed power smoothie keeps me full til lunch, and I feel great every time I drink it. I know people always say that, but really. This is probably enough servings of fruits and vegetables to last me a decade. Because that's how it works, right? Now I can eat french fries for 10 years?

Protip: If you make a lot of smoothies, freeze your fresh greens. You'll preserve the nutrients and have a long lasting supply ready when you are.

Coconut Berry Triflin'

Are you guys ready for the easiest, most perfectly delicious summer-time dessert you'll ever taste? This trifle is layered with fluffy angel food cake, fresh berries, and sweet coconut whipped cream. Plus it's rocking the red, white, and blue so it's great for all those upcoming 4th of July gatherings. If you're not digging the perfect pasta salad, this should definitely be your go-to recipe for a patriotic party pleaser (don't worry, alliteration will ALWAYS be cool, guys.)

Cilantro Pasta Salad

The 4th of July is next week! Can you believe it? That means a wave of summertime gatherings is right around the corner, and you'll need something to bring to the table. Well, you're welcome, because this is it. I've had so many requests for this recipe I'm surprised I've gone this long without sharing it. The crisp, cilantro-y dressing is perfectly refreshing in the summer sun, and again, it's completely customizable to your tastes. What I've provided here is a simple base recipe - tomatoes, peppers, onion, and olives. You could (should) add corn, avocado, feta cheese, or whatever else your little heart desires.

How to Make Frushi

Can you believe we're halfway through June already? The first official day of the summer is this week, and the Fourth of July is right around the corner. You know what that means? Picnics! Cookouts! And we'd hate to send you off to your summer holiday gatherings empty handed, so we'll be sharing some of our favorite dishes for summer parties.

First up, this sweet little dessert packs a major wow factor, and it's super easy and totally customizable. I had frushi a few months ago at the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival at Walt Disney World, and it was the highlight of my day. So pretty! So fresh! So perfect for a hot day! I went home determined to replicate it. Here's a recipe for easy, homemade frushi.

Takeout Fakeout: How to Make the Perfect Tofu

Today I wanted to share one of my favorite recipes for a quick, delicious, takeout-quality tofu stirfry. I always imagined tofu as one of those foods that can only be delicious when it comes straight from the kitchen of a trained chef. Certainly the pros wielded some magic that could turn this lumpy, spongy bean curd into crispy fried yumminess. And I certainly couldn't replicate those results with my decidedly unmagical hands, right? Well, maybe. But then I found this secret...

How to Make the Perfect Bread


You guys. Let's talk about one of my favorite things in the world: freshly baked bread. From the moment that earthy, buttery smell wafts out from the oven, I'm sold. It's the perfect comfort food. And it's actually pretty easy to make yourself, even if you're not an expert baker. We'd like to share some basic bread baking tips and tricks, and one of Skyla's favorite Ciabatta Bread recipes.
