Orange and Jicama Salad
Try something new -- crisp up you’re summer salads with jicama! You know that really ugly round thing in the vegetable section that looks like a big potato? That’s jicama, but don’t let those looks sway you. It’s what’s on the inside that counts! Think green apple meets water chestnut – it’s delish, so fresh and perfect served raw, especially in salads or even coleslaw! You can cook it, too, but we really love the crisp texture... Read More

Hey there, Breakfast Pizza. Can I get you in my belly yesterday?! Guys, guysssss! Are you ready to say buh-bye to boring old oatmeal, and hi-there-and-hello to this insane-alicious breakfast pizza?

And you can only have so many grilled-cheese-and-soup nights this fall before a potential revolt ensues. On the nights when my brain can’t think of... Read More

We’d ride our bikes down to buy a snowcone or burger. But, when the restaurant started offering fried vegetables, my mom (... Read More
Cobb Salad Sandwich
Whenever I go to a restaurant, the first thing that I look for on the menu is some version of a Cobb salad. Something about bacon, egg, avocado, and blue cheese mingling all on one plate makes my mouth start to water. What I love about a Cobb salad is that it’s loaded with a ton of toppings. My husband always teases me that I eat everything BUT the lettuce in a salad so a Cobb salad is a dream to me. Of course, if I happen to get a piece of let... Read More
Easy Stuffed Avocado Salad
Raise your hand if you love avocado! (Both of my hands are raised … I love it that much.) Smooth and creamy avocado is a fabulous fruit that is delicious when made into guacamole and equally fabulous served sliced on salad or chopped in a wrap. It’s also a great offset for spiciness in chili. But have you had an avocado salad? I’m not talking about avocado in a salad but rather a salad served inside an avocado … so you scoop up a...
