Currently July 2021

July was a busy month! I was able to attend a few parties with friends (outside!), hiked up to the top of Mt. Tam, celebrated my Dad’s 75th birthday, and then we ended the month by going to Cooperstown, NY for Cooper to attend a baseball tournament. We’ve been looking forward to this trip for years and it’s still happening as I type this!!!

Cucumber Sesame Salad

If I made something like Chicken Teriyaki or Cracklin’ Chicken with rice, I serve it with a quick Cucumber Sesame Salad. It’s the first thing I start making so it has time to pickle/marinate while I have the rest of dinner going.

Just clear off the cutting board and do some chop therapy on some cucumbers and green onions!

It’s also a jumping point recipe! I sometimes add avocado (if I’m eating it), spicy garlic chili, cilantro, and even rice!

The best part is that my family eats it up every time I make it so I never have leftovers and they’ve EATEN SALAD without complaining.

Win-win!
