Easy Kale Caesar Salad
Baby kale is relatively new on the salad scene. It’s less “toothsome” than its adult counterpart, and eats almost like a less peppery arugula. Baby kale is a fantastic way to get lots of vitamins and minerals into your diet without the carbs, and it’s perfect in this Easy Kale Caesar Salad. Chicharrones add just the right crispy crunch to …
Italiano Salad
My husband, Scott, and I often have lunch dates at a local spot here in San Francisco where they serve a salad very similar to this Italiano Salad, and it’s always my favorite.

Easy Chicken Enchiladas & Enchilada Sauce
I don’t know how I never made these Easy Chicken Enchiladas until this past year. What rock have I been living under to have not made enchiladas before?! Tacos, fajitas, rice bowls?

Chicken Souvlaki Kebabs
Chicken Souvlaki Kebabs Greek flavors are some of my absolute favorites! These Chicken Souvlaki Kebabs feature lemon, oregano, and a rich-tasting extra- virgin olive oil that magically blend together, and take me back to our trip to Greece to see where the olives for Kasandrinos brand oil are grown. I’ve added some turmeric to what would otherwise be a more …

Fresh Spring Rolls with Peanut Sauce
Fresh Spring Rolls with Peanut Sauce Recipe I.LOVE.THESE.SPRING.ROLLS! Pictured are fresh spring rolls made with shredded chicken for extra protein but you can leave them veggie-only as a side, use shrimp/prawns, or whatever you enjoy.
