Summer Eating
Or Two Very Laid Back Recipes For Easy Summer Meals
Each Summer my body wants to eat only fresh sweet fruits. That would've been great if I wasn't anemic and I had history of fainting, severe nose bleeding and black-outs. This rules out being vegetarian, vegan, raw eater and other restricting diets from my lifestyle. If I want to be healthy I need to eat everything and to take my prescribed medicines in the said periods for doing so. Namely, for one course of medicaments each new season.
But my health is not the purpose of this post. Food is!Summer food that is easy-breezy, light and tasty, very fresh. I have two meals ideas to share with you guys, my go-to recipes these busy, hot summer days. And I have two drinks idea as well, the most refreshing summer mocktails know to this day. At least for me. The bad news is ... there are no photos, because Mr.Boyfriend and I ate everything before we managed to take pictures. Oops, guilty as charged!
