Suddenly Salad Shooters
Wanna be a seriously quick salad superstar? Try this easy pasta salad, serve it up in a super fun way, and go ahead and take a bow. Chances are you’ve been served a bland, boring pasta salad dish before. It’s probably been on the buffet at some sort of family reunion, along with a wiggly green gelatin mold and lukewarm burgers. It’s a shame, because pasta is an incredibly versatile and easy ingredient to use, and it pairs so well with v... Read More
Easy Chicken Quinoa Salad
You didn't know quinoa could do this, did you? I have to tell you something. I absolutely LOVE shredding a rotisserie chicken. I love it. I don't know what it is. The pulling away of the slippery skin? The effortless removal of bones and tendons? And no I'm not a serial killer, thanks. It's just all so therapeutic and calming for my brain. I'm not a psychopath either. Actually the verdict is still out on that one. SO, ANYWAY. Hello. Guess... Read More

The bond we have created through the years together is unwavering. Unfaltering. Unchanging.

Chicken Parmesan Salad
Okay. All you've ever known of chicken Parmesan is about to fly out the window and into the breezes of the night. Why did I alter an all-time classic? WAYELL, for starters, it's 456,987 degrees outside and my sweat glands doth beggeth for something cooler. For seconders, it's bikini season (even though I bought a one-piece this year and will never look back to the days of bare, pale stomachs) so the salad idea basically reached out and slapped...

Grilled Tilapia Salad
Fish salads, for the win. Sometimes I go through mega mama fish phases. Like right now, in this seriously ridiculous heat, I'm in a total fish phase. And I know that fish has absolutely nothing to do with heat, or the amounts of sweat buckets that spew from my exhausted pores, which I probably shouldn't have typed out just now. But I'm in it. And I'm going to own it. The fish, not the sweat. Well, okay, I'll own that too. And I'll stop talki... Read More
Beat-the-Heat Watermelon Eats

Chicken Kebab Caesar Salad
No matter how you spell it, this kebab salad isn't messing around. Okay, for the life of me I cannot spell Caesar. I mean, I can, but it takes me at least 7,254 attempts to get it right. Ceazer. Ceasar. Caezar. Caeser. Ceezer. Caazer. Ceeser. Breezer. Tweezer. Fleezer. Cheeser. Teaser. AND that's my head. Exploding. However the wonk a tonk you spell it, this classic salad in kebab form is so mind-numbingly tasty, you won't even care if yo... Read More
Super Fresh Spring Salad
A salad so fresh and pretty it's like eating ART. Salads. We know we gotta eat 'em. We know we need 'em. We know about that freedom. (Freedom has nothing to do with salads, but you know me and rhyming.) But sometimes the idea of eating a salad makes me want to yank out my own esophagus and flush it down the toilet. I'd much rather back up a U Haul with 14,000 tacos into my pie hole than think about SALAD. Yawn-o-tron. To me, salads h... Read More
