Despite it being 50 degrees and pouring rain last weekend, it is 90 degrees and sunny this weekend which means I’m only in the mood to eat one thing: salads. Salads generally get a bad reputation because people think they’re boring or not filling enough. But this Apricot Chicken Soba Noodle salad is certainly not…
Salads
Grilled Peach, Corn, and Romaine Salad
This Fourth of July weekend I’m not feeling very patriotic…but I am feeling the barbecues. Give me anything grilled and I am hereeee for it! Last weekend I had some friends over for a barbecue and we made a grilled romaine caesar salad with some grilled garlic baguette. It was SO good. I knew I…
Roasted Broccoli & Chickpea Caesar Salad
What a busy few weeks it has been! It has been a whirlwind of a month. I was feeling really burnt out with work, relationships, and overall…just life.
Heirloom Tomato & Peach Salad
UGH once again life has gotten so busy. After this weekend, it will finally be able to calm down…and I cannot wait for some time to just chill! I’ve been working and socializing nonstop. I had my 25th birthday a couple weeks ago, which was a lot of fun. Some friends and I rented out…
Grilled BBQ Chicken Peach Salad
This Grilled BBQ Chicken Peach Salad just screams summer. Grilled tangy sweet BBQ chicken mixed with char-grilled sweet warm peaches on top of crisp romaine, fresh cherry tomatoes, crunchy corn, and creamy feta cheese. It’s a salad for summer produce lovers. Say goodbye to boring salads and hello to flavor-packed, delicious salads.
Warm Farro Vegetable Bowl
Fifteen days into the new year and it’s already been off to a busy start! I spent my New Year in Peru, hiking the Incan Trail, and returned last weekend. And what an experience that was! A once in a lifetime experience. I’ll explain all about my trip with pictures in a future post- so…
Cherry Beet Lentil Salad
Hooray for cherry season! Cherries are definitely one of my favorite summer fruits. Sweet and tangy, they can go well in both sweet or savory dishes, like this Cherry Beet Salad! And let me tell you, the cherries pretty much make this salad. That whole “cherry on top” phrase is really starting to make sense…
Beet Noodle Salad with Blueberries and Goat Cheese
Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays, after Halloween and Thanksgiving, of course! I love how everyone comes together outside, enjoying beautiful weather (hopefully), delicious food and refreshing drinks. I also love watching fireworks. No matter how old I get, the fireworks are still just as endearing to watch as they were when I…
Honey Lime Shrimp Salad with Mint Lime Dressing
Clearly, I am on a mint binge. This past weekend I discovered that not only do we have a large patch of mint in our front yard, we also have a bunch of scattered mint plants growing in our backyard. So much goddamn fresh mint! Why let that go to waste? Obviously I’m not going to…
Beet and Microgreen Salad with Grapefruit Vinaigrette
Recently I discovered a small winter farmers’ market located at a local garden store. The farmers’ market consists of only about ten booths and occurs every Saturday. There is one booth that sells decadent baked goods such as chocolate croissants and lemon tarts. Another booth sells delicious and fresh homemade pasta including bourbon lobster stuffed ravioli and…
