Bizarre to think it’s been half a year since starting #pinmakeeat, and I’m still loving every minute of this pinterest recipe exploration.
Why did I start #pinmakeeat? Because I realized I was pinning but not making, the most important part. So now, every Sunday night we sit down and plan the week’s meals and groceries, always including a recipe from the Eat board. Here’s what we made in the month of July.

Kale, Cherry & Avocado Salad with Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing: I made one big batch of this salad which we devoured for dinner then lunch. A few days later I made another big batch for a family dinner, where it was devoured. Perfect for cherry season, this salad is a satisfying mix of flavours and bountiful greens. It also taught me to massage my kale – makes such a difference!

Grilled Cheese with Caramelized Balsamic Onions: We made this with our favourite sourdough bread and had it alongside black bean soup. Not exactly a summer meal, but it was perfection none the less. I would probably use a titch less sugar next time, but I certainly enjoyed it nonetheless.

Sriracha Street Corn: After swapping out mayo for yogurt as I always do (down with mayo!) this corn became my favourite corn of all corns ever. To be honest, cob or not I’m not a huge corn fan. I’m slowly coming around to it, and this recipe just skyrocketed my love for the summer staple. The spicy and creamy sriracha slathered on blackened corn is just what I needed to appreciate this north american native.

Vegan Peanut Butter Cup Pie: I’ve done a lot of vegan baking in my vegan days, so I’m quite accustomed to using tofu in dessert recipes and not telling people in fear that they won’t try the dish. But like most recipes, and certainly with this one, you just can’t tell. It’s so incredibly creamy and peanut butter filled that it feels like you’re eating the most dairy laden thing on earth. A note though – do be sure to get silken tofu or a softer tofu. Mister came back with regular firm tofu and we couldn’t get it all creamed. No one wants tofu chunks in their peanut butter pie.
