"BOTW" Hard Strawberry Lemonade Smash

In honor of the temperatures reaching into the 80's this upcoming weekend here in Northern California, I'm going with Bon Appetite's Hard Strawberry Lemonade for my "Best of the Web" pick of the week.

Can't go wrong with this one!

'BOTW' Summer Fresh Orzo Salad with Pesto Dill

I end up finding the best fresh summer recipes in Bon Appetite.  I tend to be drawn to recipes that use fresh veggies that are in season and recipes that are simple to throw together.  Great taste and easy assembly.  So when I saw this Orzo, green bean and fennel salad with dill pesto, I knew it would be my 'Best of the Web' feature of the week and  it won't be long before I make a batch of it myself.  I love orzo.
