It’s officially summer… which means it’s time to grill all the things!

I love how the barbecue makes such easy work of cooking nearly every party of dinner. Clean up is easier… the smell of barbecue wafts into the neighbours’s yards… people start to wonder, “What are THEY having tonight?”

Right now I’m on a pasta salad kick. I love love love it. 

Combining those delicious carbs and vegetables and tossing them both in a savory dressing? Sign me up. It’s not a salad that we typically have through the colder months, so it just screams summer when I scoop a big helping of pasta salad onto the plate. 

Heat it up or leave it cold – it’s equally delicious.

I was playing around with a curry dressing, and I added some honey. And I LOVED it. My girlfriend, who was on the phone with me, suggested that I put a bit of greek yogurt in there. 

Did it. Loved it more. 

Hence, the birth of the sweet curry dressing in our house. Add more honey if you like it sweeter… add more curry paste if you like a bit of spice. 

Toss some chicken on top of this, and you’ve got a dinner.

Throw a big batch of it in the fridge, and you’ve got lunch. 

Put green onion on it, and it’s officially MINE. (Mr. Suburble doesn’t like onion, which makes it easy to claim things as my own… though I still don’t get it. How can you not like onion?) 

 But he likes curry. So he’s still a keeper.
