Spring Fling: Easy Dinners

April 23rd, 2009

In my very first blog post, I mentioned how spring has always been my favorite time of year. While that’s true to an extent, I’m rather fickle when it comes to deciding, so I’ve started a new section dedicated to all of my favorite aspects of each season. Since spring is in full force here in L.A., I thought I’d kick things off by sharing my passion for warm nights and cool, easy dinners.

This Citrus Sangria took mere minutes, but added a refreshing complement to our light meal.

Antipasti salad of mozzarella balls, raw asparagus, heirloom tomatoes with basil and avocado.

What’s your go-to dinner when it’s still 90° at 7:30?

Looks delicious! I usually go for sushi, a big salad or perhaps a hot dog and some coleslaw, asian style…reminds me of 4th of July. To drink, Sprite, white wine or a light cold beer – first choice, Pacifico.

Tomato salad is probably my favorite food and that sangria looks really good. On really hot days its usually some kind of salad or a movie and some popcorn in a nice air conditioned theatre.
