Turkey Fajita Lettuce Wraps

by madeitateitlovediton January 1, 2016January 1, 20164 Comments

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 …

Chicken and Veggies Kabobs with Tzatziki Sauce

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.

Grilled Peach and Berry Salad

by madeitateitloveditupdated on October 18, 2018August 28, 20151 Comment

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 …

Grilled Chicken Salad with Candied Walnuts

by madeitateitlovediton July 1, 2015July 1, 2015Leave a Comment

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 …

Easy Pasta Salad

by madeitateitloveditupdated on September 18, 2018June 4, 20151 Comment

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 …

I love making salads for myself. But I rarely make them for dinner. My kids won’t eat salad and I thought that my husband didn’t like salads for dinner.

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 …

Loaded Italian Salad

This salad is jam packed with some of my very favorite salad ingredients! I remember as a kid getting pizza at some local pizza places and always asking my mom if she would order the “anti pasta salad” well this is my version of that salad but jacked up! I was making Baked Ziti for a friend the other day and needed to think of something to go with it. This salad came to mind! One of my favorite additions to this salad is the Diamond Pine Nuts toasted! Pine nuts are a favorite of my husbands so I like to find any excuse …
