Wedge Salad Wedge Salads have always been a favorite of mine to order at restaraunts. After ordering them weekend after weekend on date night I decided one night to whip up my own. I did not realize how simple and potentially cheap and fast wedge salads were to make! They are a type of salad that can be customized very easily and made within minutes. Wedge Salads are really a personal preference (mine and my husbands are completely different) But here is what my husband and I put on our wedge salads   Wedge Salad Head of Iceberg Lettuce toppings: tomatoes, …

A little over a year ago I was able to go on a farm tour for Stonyfield and see the behind the scenes are their mission to create great quality products all while helping to “save the earth”! So today when they announced that they were part …

It gets hot here in Arizona during the summertime! I am always looking for refreshing lunch and dinners to enjoy that don’t heat up the house! This salad paired with bowtie pasta takes it up a notch and makes it a little heartier. Which means you can enjoy it for dinner as well as lunch! I always love using Stonyfield Greek yogurt to create a creamy dressing to pair my salad with! I love using these 5.3 ounce containers because they are perfectly measured with the right amount of Greek yogurt to make a dressing for my family!  There is …

I love a good variety salad with different types of toppings. But sometimes I get on a certain salad kick and cannot get off of it! At the beginning of my pregnancy I could have eaten a wedge salad every single day. Well that has come and gone and now I am all about a yummy cobb salad.  My husband and I like different things on our salads. So I love having a cobb salad where there is still plenty of things on the salad if you don’t like a thing or two and have to take it off. I …

This loaded Italian salad is a personal favorite. I keep all the ingredients in my fridge and serve this weekly with our meals. It is my husbands favorite salad right now and usually ends …
