Pico de gallo is a great light and fresh salsa. It’s not very spicy, and has a fresh vibrant taste from the fresh tomatoes, lime juice and cilantro. This is great for a light dip with chips, would go great over grilled chicken, or is a wonderful topping for beans and rice. However you serveRead more

So I’m trying to get more creative with my salads. And this is definitely going to be filed under filling, delicious, interesting salads. This is a great summer salad, full of fresh, strong flavors. The marinade is wonderful on the chicken, and then it’s very easily transformed into a dressing for the salad. If you’reRead more
Back to my kale eating ways! This was something I was able to throw together with whatever I had on hand. It’s easy and super delicious. It’s easy to keep feta and olives on hand and during the summer months I usually have some tomatoes, cucumbers on hand too, so this is perfect when youRead more
With summer approaching and the temperatures rising, you can bet I will be eating a lot more of this tofu. This is super simple to prepare, it’s refreshing and cold and light. This goes great with a salad (I’d recommend an Asian cabbage salad like this or this or this) for a quick, light summerRead more
