Seriously Easy Cooking Ideas To Kick Off Your Summer!

Okay yes, cooking can be hard, and for some, extremely hard. No one ever told me making a vegan tamale pie would require sweat, tears, and blood, but boy I tell you it did.

Seriously Easy Cooking Ideas To Kick Off Your Summer!

Below is a list of super easy basics and dishes you can easily cook or build upon to create your favorite meal. Here are the top five foods you need to start your summer off the right way!

  1. Homemade corn tortillas-

These tortillas are only two ingredients!! Just Masa Harina and warm water! That is it!! They are so good and seriously take up your taco game. I highly recommend making this base if you're trying to impress any of your friends or family.

2. Tilapia-

This dish is not only super cheap (relative to other fishes you can purchase at the store) but it is so easy to make! You can either pop this fish in the oven or pan sear it (marinate in olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemon juice for roughly 20 minutes before you start cooking it), and it'll be done in less than 10 minutes! Bonus points if you cover your fish with a mango salsa (highly recommend marinating fish in a mango salsa marinade beforehand.

3. Watermelon salad-

Not only is watermelon salad super refreshing but it adds just the perfect aesthetic to any instagrammable meal you have planned! I recommend making sure your watermelon is perfectly crisp because that will allow for the salad to get less juicy while it sits.

4. Burford Pesto Pasta-

My family's pesto isn't just any regular pesto because it's vegan! This is perfect for anyone who feels pesto is a little too heavy for them or is trying to eat more plant based friendly meals! There are only 5 ingredients too!! This sauce is great with any pastas that are curled or have ridges within their shape because the pesto has an easier time sticking. Also, this recipe calls for nutritional yeast which is INCREDIBLE over popcorn with olive oil and pepper!

Quesadillas.EveryPixel- Chris Tweten


5. Loaded quesadillas-

THESE ARE SO SIMPLE IT'S CRAZY!!! Just grab your tortilla, your cheese, and load it up with your beans of choice, avocado, salsa, maybe some salami or anything! Just pile up everything that is in your fridge and boom!! You have made yourself a loaded quesadilla!

All of these recipes are so flexible and require such few ingredients! Give them a try and experiment with all the different food items you have!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
