Summer recipes + trash TV
If you’re looking to chill out, nothing beats good summer recipes and trash tv at home.
Pair this grilled portobello steak salad with avocado & lime with an episode of Love Island for a fun night guaranteed. Just thinking about the umami flavours of the mushrooms paired with onions and a squeeze of lime makes our mouths water. Best part? It only takes around 30 minutes to whip up this vegan and gluten-free dish.
Want something heavier for your meal? Here’s another irresistible summer recipe and trash tv pairing: Stream the latest season of 90 Day Fiancé and enjoy it with this easy air fryer cheeseburger recipe. To make life even easier, prep the patties the night before and pop them into the air fryer just a few minutes before your next trash tv binge!
DIY summertime drinks
There’s nothing quite like a good summertime cocktail to cool down and get into a good mood. While you’re at it, why not invite some friends to a mini get-together at home?
We highly recommend this raspberry mojito recipe that’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Psst… leave out the rum if you want to turn this into a mocktail instead.
Another favourite we have is this Sweet Tea Smash for a quick respite from the heat. If you’re already a fan of iced tea, this alcoholic version is sure to please. It’s a refreshing combination of sweet tea, whiskey, and a squeeze of lemon.
Start a new hobby
If you’ve always wanted to pick up crochet or grow your own mini herb garden, summer’s a good time as any to start. Invest a few minutes each day in something that sparks joy and you’re sure to have something to be proud of by the end of the season.
