Chicken Fajita Bowls with Cilantro Lime Rice
I originally wanted this recipe to be burrito bowls - like inspired by Chipotle's burrito bowls but then I got carried away with the sauteed bell peppers and onions because I always ask for the fajita veggies on my burrito bowl and always want MORE of them - so then this bowl just seemed more like fajita bowls rather than burrito bowls. You know what, I'm okay with that! Chicken Fajita Bowls with Cilantro Lime Rice it is! Friends, are you ready for the deliciousness that is happening here?! … [Read more...]

Easy Caesar Salad (GF)
Well hello, there, how about a tasty Caesar salad that's gluten free and still consists of those crunchy, tasty croutons we just have to have on top of our Caesar salad?

Strawberry Rhubarb Compote
Summer is on its way. Despite what the calendar says, I actually consider it to be summer from the moment the trees have fully bloomed and I can wear shorts and sandals. Either way, one thing is true: rhubarb is a spring vegetable. Yes, rhubarb is technically a vegetable, even though I, along with the rest of the world, tend to think of it as a fruit because it's usually baked into pies and crisps along with sugar and other fruits. My point is rhubarb is at its peak during spring; therefore you … [Read more...]
Coconut Banana Chia Seed Pudding (V + GF)
Happy Friday, friends. It's springtime! Let's celebrate with some refreshing Coconut Banana Chia Seed Pudding, shall we? I have fallen in love with chia seed pudding. It's quick and easy to whip up, it's super healthy for you, and chia seeds are pretty much flavorless so they can take on any flavors you prefer. Those chia seeds are pretty amazing! They are packed with healthy fats and fiber. Allow those tiny guys to sit in a liquid for several hours and the fiber in the chia seeds … [Read more...]

Because, let's be honest, is it ever any kind of spring/summer party without a veggie platter served with creamy, dreamy ranch dip? About a year ago I shared my Cashew Ranch Dip which … [Read more...]
