On a hot summer day, or a busy night with three kids melting down, a big salad with lots of fresh, hearty ingredients is often my default meal. For this Italian-inspired chopped salad, I dice antipasto ingredients and combine them to make a substantial main course. I usually buy organic cooked beets from the market’s produce section so I can just chop them up and not have to worry about roasting and peeling. This dish also comes together quickly with the use of precooked chicken.

This tangy barbecue chicken salad and power slaw is packed with protein and fiber. I use precooked chicken so I can assemble this salad before heading to bed, or make it quickly in the morning before running out the door. You can speed things up even more by using a store-bought rotisserie chicken and paleo-friendly barbecue sauce. These fillings can also work well in an AAGwich-style lettuce wrap (see page 57).

I was flipping through my third cookbook, Celebrations, last week preparing for Father's Day and I came across this recipe. Naturally, it stopped me in my tracks, and I had an instant craving for it! My Celebrations book is great for holidays, but it's also great for seasonal favorites! This cobbler is in the Father's Day chapter, but it's perfect for any summer night!

Did you know that Peach Cobbler was the overwhelming choice when I polled all of my readers about which summer dessert they would want to see most in Celebrations?? Obviously, it's not just me that feels nostalgic about this dessert and summertime.

When I came up with this recipe, I thought about traditional peach cobbler, and that classic buttery taste came to mind. The ingredients are essentially flour, butter, and sugar. Since none of those are regulars in our household, I had to come up with something that could mimic the buttery consistency. The first alternative I could think of is cashew. The creaminess of cashews makes for a perfect base! Just like the original, it gives you the perfect balance of crispy and soft baked topping. Then the hint of lemon pulls all of the flavors together so well with a decadent finish. This recipe is entirely satisfying, and I don't even miss the real thing!
