Ten-Minute Broiled Salmon with Mediterranean Farro Salad
My go-to summer dishes usually include a mix of fresh and cooked foods. I find that although fully raw dishes satisfy my desire for cool foods in the heat, they don’t really digest as well for me.

Cranberry Almond Coconut Macaroons
When I was in high school I worked at Children’s Ralph Lauren in an outlet mall where I made $7.50 an hour to help every wealthy tourist from the tri-state area dress their screaming toddlers. As you can imagine, the best part of my day (besides working with some of my best friends) was my break. Almost every shift, I would eat around the corner at Au Bon Pain. My go- to order was a pesto caprese salad, Nantucket Nectar iced-tea, and a massive Almond Cranberry Macaroon.
Since I haven’t been able to bring myself to eat at an Au Bon Pain since leaving that job, I decided to make my own version of that sweet, chewy coconut-y break time delight.
Cherry Berry Oat Muffin Tops
For a quick protein and fiber packed snack or on-the-go breakfast, look no further! These remind me a lot of Belvita bars. They’re soft, slightly sweet, and have a chewy texture thanks to the oats. In place of using a cooking oil in the recipe, plain greek yogurt provides more protein and reduces the fat content.
