Matthew Cullum / Proper Tasty

I mean, do I really have to try and sell pizza onion rings to you? I think we’re all on the same page here. These are rings of fried batter stuffed with not only onion, but also other pizza stuff. I’m talking marinara. I’m talking pepperoni. I’m talking cheese.

12. Tomato and Mozzerella Salad

thesweetestoccasion.com

Over the summer, I made this salad at least once a week. Why? Because a) it’s delicious, b) it’s easy but also fancy, c) it’s fresh AF for a hot summer day, and d) it’s really filling!

I just think it’s the perfect meal-worthy salad, and prepping it takes about 20 minutes and requires just enough focus that you can switch off to the rest of the world, but nothing too complicated to fuck up.

Pro tip: Invest in red AND yellow tomatoes – it really brings the whole dish together.

13. Mac 'n' Cheese Breadsticks
