Freekeh Salad with Apricots, Grilled Halloumi & Zucchini
Freekeh Salad with Apricots, Grilled Halloumi & Zucchini is a delicious and healthy salad that is perfect for a summer meal. Freekeh is a whole grain that is high in fiber and protein, and it has a nutty flavor that pairs well with grilled zucchini and halloumi cheese. The apricots add a touch of sweetness, and the scallions, pistachios, and parsley provide additional flavor and texture.
The salad is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. If you don't have halloumi cheese, you can substitute feta or another type of salty cheese. You can also add other vegetables to the salad, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, or peppers.

Roasted Corn with Lime and Manchego Cheese
My friend Jessica sent me this recipe a few years ago. I finally got around to making it! I have no idea why I waited so long. I will serve corn like this all the time. I roasted the corn earlier in the day, cut it off the cob and put it in a ziplock bag in the refrigerator. This makes it very fast to put together.

Caprese Omelette
Caprese Salad in Italian: Insalata Caprese, meaning "Salad of Capri", is a simple Italian salad, made of sliced fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and basil, seasoned with salt, and olive oil. It was made to resemble the colors of the Italian flag: red, white, and green. In Italy, it is usually served as an antipasto (starter). Using the same ingredients, I made this Caprese Omelette for breakfast.
