Pea and Pancetta Salad and Strawberry Mini Cheesecakes for Father’s Day

Father’s Day is coming up and in my family we like to celebrate with an afternoon by the pool and a delicious meal. Typically we do a grilled meat and then a couple outdoor friendly sides. Grain and vegetable salads are always great because they can handle dressing well even when dressed in advance. Potato salad is usually our go-to but this year we are going to switch it up with a pea and pancetta salad. The fresh mint in this salad is the selling feature for me. It’s refreshing and so complimentary to the salty pancetta.

Rehydrate with Watermelon

It’s July, and the temperature is soaring to record-breaking levels. As we all head for the air-conditioning, let’s pause for a moment to think about what mid-January in Ontario feels like… Eating fruits is a great way to keep cool in the summer. Watermelon is a great option, like the name says, it contains 90% water…but it is also loaded with vitamins and minerals.
