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 …
Happy New Year!!! A healthier lifestyle seems to always be a New Years resolution every year for myself and I believe most of you out there! In my opinion the best way to start is small steps! With meals that you know you already enjoy with a healthier spin on it! So after I did my turkey breast prep by cooking it in a slow cooker and slicing it I decided to make one of my families favorite dinners! Fajitas! Except I used turkey as the main source of protein to lower the fat and cholesterol content and up the …
Our family loves kabobs. I feel like my kids eat more of their dinner when it is on a stick then any other form. I could have the same exact dish just on my kids plate and they wouldn’t touch it but put it on a kabob and they are all for it! These plate has a few of my favorite things to eat on it.

This pregnancy I have been on a huge salad kick! I eat it almost daily for lunch and there is a salad somehow involved in our dinner at least 4 times a week. I have my favorites and my go-to’s but I am always trying to add some type of variety to them. This salad is usually my strawberry salad. But when I picked up a 30 lb box of freshly grown peaches I knew just what to do with them. That same day I also picked up a huge flat of raspberries. So I decided to throw those in …
My husband is a huge nut person. He loves any variation of nuts. About a year ago I tired Santé Nuts for the first time. My favorite thing about this company is that they offer a variety of nuts and candied nuts. I always love adding candied nuts to my salad. I feel like there is hardly any brands that offer candied nuts. When I run out of Santé Nuts I try to make my own and they are fine but they are never perfect. Some are too sweet, some get a little burnt, and some aren’t sweet enough. So …

Pasta salad will always remind me of my older sister for some reason. I don’t know if its because she used to always ask my mom to make it for her when we were growing up or what! But for some reason every single time I make it I can’t help but think about her! Pasta salad is one of those things that I feel is good all year around. But it is especially food during BBQ season! Whenever I see a pasta salad at a BBQ or a family gathering I always go to it first and get a …

The fresh berries with the crunchy chicken and bacon paired with sugared almonds was just so yummy! I found this recipe here and made it but with the ingredients that I had at …
