My Top Five Food Pairings for Summer

Like Romeo and Juliet, Forrest Gump and Jenny, or peas and carrots, some foods - and people - are just meant to go together.

And as the weather grows warmer, its often fun to change things up and experiment with new flavours and combinations.

With that in mind, I have gone back into the annals of Kitchen Witch history and have my five favourite food pairings to share with you today starting with:

1.  Grilled Lemon Basil Chicken and Pasta with Salsa Cruda and Basil Oil

 
This first pairing celebrates my favorite flavors of the summer- fresh basil, sun sweetened tomatoes, and lemon marry perfectly together to make a healthful and easy dinner!

2. Beer Marinated Pork Chops and The Ultimate Twice Baked Potatoes



This is one of those meals I like to make for casual weekend entertaining. Better still, it can all be prepared ahead of time. Serve with corn in the cob and fresh lemonade and you have a meal everyone is going to love!

3. Turkey Chili Con Carne and Apple Cheese Muffins






Serve a cast iron pot filled with this healthful and delectable chili on your next camping trip or cook out. It can be made ahead and frozen in flat re-sealable freezer bags for easy transport, and paired with these wonderful apple cheese muffins, people will be coming back again and again!










4.Creamy Chicken Spaghetti Florentine and Easy Arugula Salad

 



An easy to assemble, fresh pairing for relaxed weekday dining.

5. And finally, today's featured Kitchen Witch video starring Grilled Lemon Herb Halibut and Creamy Lemony Rice. This is my side dish recipe of the month!
