Jerk Tofu and Pineapple Skewers
These delicious skewers look fancy, but are deceptively simple to make – and they’re always crowd-pleasers. Using a combination of one jalapeño and half a habañero (or Scotch bonnet, if you’re lucky enough to find them) makes a medium-spicy dish.
Mediterranean Couscous-Quinoa Salad with Tahini Sauce
This salad makes for a delicious and interesting addition to any picnic or potluck but could work just as well in cooler weather by leaving out the tomato and cucumber.

No-Bake Oatmeal Power Balls
These power balls are everything I love in a snack. They’re sweet but not cloying, packed with protein and fiber (thanks, sunflower seed butter and oats!), and super easy to whip up at a moment’s notice–you won’t even need to turn on your oven.
