Grilled Pork Tenderloin Tacos

Sometimes when it comes to entertaining, I fall into the trap of thinking that a meal needs to be complicated and time-consuming in order to be special. I forget that the most important part of getting together are the people, and while food plays an important role in gathering us around the table, I find that most people are just as appreciative of a simple meal as they are with a more elaborate one. So lately in order to keep the stress levels low when we have friends over, I’ve been trying to plan meals that are crowd-pleasing but also manageable and straightforward. I think most would agree that tacos makes excellent party fare- a taco bar set out with bowls of salsas, guacamole, cheeses, and a variety of fillings can be so festive and colorful, and there are endless possibilities.

Farro Salad with Fava Beans and English Peas

We’ve been fortunate to receive heaping quarts of fava beans from our CSA this season and it’s been a treat for sure. Because favas have such a short season, I like to make the most of them by preparing them simply, and in a way that makes them shine. A little lemon juice, olive oil, and parsley are all they really need. We also had some English shelling peas from this week’s share to go along with the favas, and to make a more substantial salad, I added farro for heartiness and a bit of feta for a salty punch.

Now that both of my children are home for the summer, I hope for us to spend lots of time together in the kitchen. Not necessarily cooking long and involved recipes, but I want them to learn how preparing nourishing foods can be simple, uncomplicated, and beautiful. This week we started out with these fruit pizzas, which make the most of the summer season’s best fruits.
