School is out, summer is here, and potluck season has commenced. That said, one cannot live on lasagna every day. (Or at least I can’t, maybe you can?) The best way to survive hot days or heavy dishes is to balance them out with something cool and light, like these salmon lettuce wraps.

Q: I am looking for some kitchen rugs that are pet claw friendly and that I can run the vacuum over without it catching snags. I hate shaking rugs. Please, if someone can give me some advice or if you know where I can purchase some let me know.

Lately we’ve been talking about sprouted grains, from the nutritional and culinary benefits to making them at home. But sprouting doesn’t have to be limited to grains. From sunflower seeds to almonds and chickpeas, sprouting can be a fun and nutritious way to enhance the ingredients in your kitchen.
The first time I heard of Wegmans, someone — a friend, a college roommate — mentioned it in a group conversation, and the reaction went something like this: “Oh my gosh, I love that store! It’s the greatest grocery store ever. Seriously. Best. Store. Ever.” Suddenly I felt like we’d just spotted Brad Pitt: voices got shrill, heart rates sped up. Words like love and amazing and can’t live without it flew around the group. It was frenzied devotion — and all for a grocery store that I at the time had never even heard of!
It took me 10 years to visit the store, which I finally did for the first time this past weekend. Over the years I’d heard Wegmans compared to Trader Joe’s (both have extremely enthusiastic devotees) but beyond that I still knew virtually nothing about it. Could Wegmans make me into a fangirl? I was about to find out.

“Sherbet? Chocolate? Sounds weird but tastes delicious. It’s something really luxurious for chocolate lovers. Serve garnished with mint leaf, orange peel strips, or strawberries.”

Kelly of Studio DIY has the perfect project to show off your creative side and keep the rays off of your face: A DIY doughnut hat! The best part? It looks so easy to make.
