EDITOR’S NOTE

Happy Saturday. After a relentless stretch of gray, rainy days, the sun’s finally returned to DC — and I feel 90% more alive. That’s not the only thing making me smile…

  • I’m off to the salon, and this time, I actually know what to ask for — stylish women everywhere are ditching the Italian Bob for a low-maintenance alternative that’s being called “Summer’s Chicest Haircut.”

  • If your frilly childhood comforter still has a chokehold on you, the most millennial-coded bedding brand has teamed up with H&M for a shockingly cute children’s collab. Lucky for my niece, her fourth birthday is coming up next week.

  • Strawberry season has officially arrived at Trader Joe’s, and these are the limited-edition items worth hoarding. No. 2, I’m coming for you.

  • Wondering what pattern could possibly dethrone polka dots? This Annie James- and Hallie Parker-approved print — and it’s cooler and more wearable than I remember.

  • The only Britain’s Got Talent contestant I can name is in a “new era.” Between the bob, sunglasses, and fur coat, I’m not exaggerating when I say the transformation is astounding. Someone check on Anna Wintour.

Maxi’s Kitchen’s Peanut Chicken Spring Roll Bowls

These Easy Peanut Chicken Spring Roll Bowls Will Be Your Summer Fixation

theSkimm

We’re dangerously close to the time of year when the relentless overlords of heat and humidity could strike at any moment, making it downright offensive to turn on an oven. That’s one reason to have Maxi’s Kitchen’s Peanut Chicken Spring Roll Bowls handy. The others? The dish takes less time to make than watching an episode of Summer House. The low-fuss recipe is packed with crunchy veggies and bouncy vermicelli noodles — so it’s essentially a deconstructed version of your favorite Vietnamese appetizer. And, perhaps most important, there’s a sweet, spicy, obscenely good peanut dressing that you’ll want to put on everything (speaking from experience). Good thing you’ll have all summer to do so.

The Time Commitment: Approximately 35 minutes.

Key Tip: To keep the noodles from sticking together, Maxine Sharf (aka Maxi’s Kitchen) recommends rinsing them in cold water after draining and tossing with a little olive oil. 

Other Takes: For more easy, breezy, summer recipes, try…

  • Sheet Pan Salmon and Potatoes with Caper Chimichurri. We could wax poetic about this weeknight hero, but all you need to know: Everything cooks in one pan, then is smothered in a ridiculously vibrant sauce.

  • Miso-Ginger Chicken Slaw. Use a rotisserie chicken and bagged coleslaw mix and the only real work is making the drinkable dressing and frying the shallots — technically optional, but are they really?

  • Corn Avocado Feta Dill Salad, which is loaded with crisp cucumbers, pickled onions, juicy chicken, and lots of herbs — so it’s fresh, filling, and in the words of one fan, “summer personified.”
