 This summer has passed and I feel like it never started. Working multiple jobs I find I lack the energy in the kitchen and the time to properly shop. I know that’s just an excuse but some days are just hard. So here is my easy, go to, that can be whipped up quick, eaten right away or “packaged” up for weekly prep. Also, tuna can easily be substituted for the chicken, but you usually don’t want to be “that person” at work. Ingredients:
Mix all ingredients but the lettuce together in a both until well combined. Then add lettuce or add on top of serving of salad and enjoy.

 I love me some #tacotuesday but veggie tacos can become a bit tiring, especially with a teenager in the house who vetoes jackfruit, lentil, and soy chorizo options. So when I picked up this Zhoug Sauce at Trader Joes I was inspired. It was so good and spicy when I first tried it, I couldn’t wait for Tuesday to incorporate into tacos.
I was never a yogurt person, but yet here I find myself eating this yogurt almost daily! It’s so easy to make and nice to know I have some in the fridge to grab for a healthy snack. I take it to work and enjoy for a morning break to tide me over until lunch time. Here is my favorite way to eat right now.  I saw this on Facebook earlier in the week and couldn’t wait to try it. I kid you not, I made these the last three mornings. Here is the original recipe from Tasty, and below is how I switched it up a little. Now, it says its 4 servings...um, I beg to differ. This is more like 2 servings. You could stretch it to 4 if you are serving other things with it though. And as I’m on my current vegan, instant pot yogurt kick, I have replaced the maple syrup on top with vanilla yogurt and I’m enjoying that for now.  This recipe was adapted from Lindsay Nixon’s Happy Herbivore Light & Lean which I checked out from the library and haven’t brought myself to return it...Lucky for renewals!  These are best if eaten when fresh, however, you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat in the oven or toaster oven to make warm and crispy.
This recipe just came together with what food I had in the fridge. It was inspired by a recipe I read about for poblano pepper tacos. Then I got a craving for a tortilla, so while I was at the store I picked up some gluten free tortillas (they are $$$ but worth it every so often). So satisfying and I already can't wait to make it again!  I've always had a soft spot for pina coladas - the tropical essence, the pineapple, the coconut...with or without the rum...more often without. This one is the easiest and tastiest so far!   This is such an easy kale smoothie. It tastes so good and refreshing yet it can also be very filling with all that kale. Perfect for between meals, or after a light workout, or out the door for errands. Super easy to make with only a few ingredients.
Yep. You read the title right, ricotta cheese in a "milkshake". I got the idea from somewhere that I read you swap out ice cream with sweetened ricotta for a sweet late night treat. Makes sense to me...I love ricotta!
I haven't played with this recipe much and am currently addicted to it just as it is but I'm sure you could variate quite a bit depending on flavor preferences. Here is what I currently make, and I apologize for the lack of specifics, I tried to measure things out but it just didn't taste as good as when I wing it. |
