Rosy Yogurt Bark
No wonder yogurt bark has gone viral! It tastes like you are indulging and no cooking is involved. All you need is a sheet pan and yogurt at the base. Here I tried to mimic the flavors of granola by using crunchy almonds and dates for sweetness. It makes the perfect snack with added fruitiness from raspberries and the mix of creamy and cold frozen yogurt. Since we always spice it up, we sprinkled in Roses, which make this snack beautiful and taste like a fancy dessert.

Chicken Nigella Caesar Pasta Salad
Our Nigella Caesar makes chicken breast juicy and brown nicely. It's also a delicious sprinkle and makes such an easy homemade dressing, only needing water and oil. This dressing is awesome to have on hand, not just for a twist on a traditional Caesar salad, but also as a marinade and sauce. In this recipe, it gets used both ways — to marinate our chicken and to coat the pasta salad. We used some summer staples like fresh tomatoes, cucumber and arugula to bring it all together. We also dabbled with some lentil gluten-free pasta for some extra protein, but feel free to use your own favorite pasta. Enjoy this salad warm or as cold leftovers, if you have any!
