A Recipe For The Last Days Of Summer...

I don't know about you, but I can hardly believe the last days of summer are here...

All summer long my kids and I have been saying, "We've got time"... and then suddenly we don't. Cooler days are on their way and it's our last ditch effort to enjoy the sun, the warm weather, and the crowded streets and playgrounds.

Of course, one of my FAVORITE ways to enjoy summer is with all of the fresh produce, and I have been obsessed with healthier pasta salads since discovering Orzo pasta. It's versatile, and small enough that when I'm eating it I don't feel like I'm only eating pasta. If you're looking for gluten-free options, they're available so don't count it out quite yet!

With more protein than traditional pastas, and more fiber, you could also swap this pasta for rice or barley, since Orzo in Italian means "barley". If you use one of these options, shoot me a message and let me know what you think!

I'm on my way to volunteer at Harvest Family Success Center, and I'm going to share this recipe with them! I hope you enjoy it too, and create a beautiful summer day for yourself! With this recipe on hand, now you have something planned for dinner, and can enjoy more time outside!

Take good care, and make it a great day!
