Easy Summer Salads
Hi Reader!
This weekend kicks of summer, at least in the United States. It's usually full of outdoor outings, grilling and celebrations to welcome the summer season. No matter what your food traditions are, summer salads are always perfect! Great for picnics, gatherings or easy dining al fresco!
PRO TIP: The FDA says, "Stick to the 'two-hour rule' for leaving items needing refrigeration out at room temperature. Never allow meat, poultry, seafood, eggs, or produce or other foods that require refrigeration to sit at room temperature for more than two hours."
The outside temperature also makes a difference. The FDA adds, "If the air temperature is above 90 degrees F, the 'two-hour rule' becomes 'one-hour.'"
Happy cooking!

Hi Reader! Pass on the green beer and make this authentic Dublin Coddle instead. It's an authentic recipe I picked up on one of my many trips to Ireland and is comfort food at its best. A simple but hearty dish of potatoes, sausage, bacon and onions that is absolutely delicious! Spoiler alert: corned beef and cabbage isn't actually an authentic Irish St. Patrick's Day dish. That's right! It was adopted as such here in the U.S. (along with green beer). But we have a slow cooker and instant pot...
