I think I’ve mentioned it before but that won’t stop me from saying it again, “I love fries”. Love em’!
What’s not to love? Seriously, you tell me because I can’t think of one thing.
I also love sweet potatoes (what can I say, I just love food)… so needless to say, these fries really do it for me; they’re the best of both worlds.
Warm Lentil Salad Speckled W/ Kale and Pomegranate Seeds
I believe that everything in life happens for a reason.
I have been wanting to share this Warm Lentil Salad with you guys for years (no exaggeration). It’s a recipe that I learned when I attended The New School of Cooking over 5 years ago it’s been one of my ‘no-fail-go-to-salads’ ever since.
But for whatever reason, it just never made it to the blog, and now I know why…
Raw Summer Squash Salad w/ Feta and Tomatoes
The best thing about working with fresh, seasonal produce is that you always know whatever ingredients you have on hand are going to taste great together! It’s simply the way Mother Nature intended it and it’s an easy way to learn how to pair foods together.
My favorite way of remembering this is…
Patty Pan Squash Kissed W/ Garlic and Dill
If there is one promise I can give you in the kitchen it’s this; If you work with fresh, seasonal, local ingredients it takes very little effort to create extremely flavorful food. So if time is an issue for you, this may be a road to travel more often.
Take these cute little Patty Pans for instance…
Raw Corn and Avocado Salad
Did you know that you can eat raw corn?
It’s true, raw corn is sweet and crisp and makes for a fresh and delish Summer salad. The key to raw corn is this…
Quinoa Tabouli w/ Feta Cheese and Garbanzo Beans
This Quinoa Tabouli Salad is yet another No-Cook meal that beats the heat (provided you’ve pre-prepped your quinoa over the weekend;). It’s light, refreshing and simple to make so get out your grocery list and jot this down because this is a no-brainer recipe that you’re gonna wanna add to this weeks menu!
Vegetarian Springtime Pesto Bowl
There are many-a-meals made in my home that never make it to the blog.
Often times it’s because I don’t have the time, desire, or patience to get a decent picture of the food (and I am a-gotta-see-it-to-wanna-eat-it-kinda-girl) but most of the time it’s because a lot of what we eat around here doesn’t seem to fit into “recipe-format”.
Take this Vegetarian Springtime Pesto Bowl as an example…
Clean Eating Coleslaw
Remember those Sweet and Smokey Turkey Burgers I posted at the beginning of the week?
Well this is the recipe that I served them with… a super simple, super light Coleslaw.
What makes this coleslaw so lite you ask? Well that my friends, is all about the…
Simply Steamed Beets & A Brand New Look
A simple new recipe and a brand new look (and url)!
Which shall I talk about first? Let’s start with the look…
Raw Kale and Citrus Salad w/ Pumpkin Seeds
I find it a lot more challenging to eat salads in the winter months then I do the summer months.
Simply put, the winter months tend to request heartier, richer foods and salad doesn’t usually fit the bill. But when you use raw kale leaves as the base of your salad, suddenly you’ve got a rich, hearty, seasonal green that can transform a salad and make it satisfying enough to enjoy in the winter!
And pairing this winter green with some seasonal citrus and pumpkin seeds also makes this delicious, nutritious salad a great immunity booster to keep us healthy during the colder weather!
