I hope you all had a wonderful weekend, and that you Mothers had an amazing Mother’s Day!! The weather yesterday was gorgeous, but boy are allergies kicking in for everyone this year. Almost everyone I know is showing symptoms of seasonal allergies. I think vitamin C is miraculous stuff, and recently I also learned vitamin

Egg and Veggie Salad
When I was little, we used to dye Easter eggs as a fun craft a few days before Easter. Then my Mom would hide them around in our downstairs before we woke up on Easter morning. One year she hid the eggs (real eggs), before my sister and I woke up, we got up and

Warm Lentil and Spinach Salad
I officially hate squats. Occasionally, Hubby acts as my personal trainer, which is usually fantastic because he makes me push myself. But the other day he had me doing squats. I guess I haven’t done squats in a while. Because first my legs turned to jelly, and then for several days I could barely walk.

Beet Salad
When we were in Disney we had dinner one of the nights at Germany in Epcot. The food was amazing. I love German food, but it can be kind of meat heavy so I was a little worried there wouldn’t be much food for me at the restaurant. Because I think everything in Disney is

Harvest Quinoa Salad
I think the term salad can be misleading. Some people hear salad, and they think of iceberg, diets, rabbits, and other stereotypes. This salad is none of those (it is especially not a rabbit). It is hearty, filling, and so delicious that both Hubby and I had seconds!! Every time we are at Disney World

Italian Corn, Broccoli, Tomato and Basil Salad
Serves 2-3 I love raw broccoli. Perhaps it’s a strange thing to confess love for, but its just so darn good!! It is the main staple of this salad, and it makes for a really good texture since everything else is a bit softer. When I chop broccoli for salads like this, I cut the

It was a lovely weekend filled with great conversations, beautiful scenery and lots and lots of awesome food. They have this farmers market that was so amazing and I was completely envious of.

Grilled Peach and Corn Salad
I pass a few farms on my way to work every morning. One has had a sign that says “Peach Sale” out front for a couple of weeks. So I finally made my way there to see what exactly a peach sale looks like. I ended up getting a bucket about the size of a

Tomato, Feta, and Olive Salad
Serves 2 as a meal, 4 as a side Have I been doing too many salads lately? I hope not. It’s just my favorite way of “cooking” and eating in the nice weather. It’s so quick, no heating up the kitchen, and light so you feel good in your skimpier summer duds. It might seem

Blue Cheese Yogurt Dressing
I’ve never been huge on the flavor of yogurt. But when hubby made this recipe, I fell in love with it! I think the full fat Greek yogurt made all the difference. Don’t fear the fat. In fact there is some research that suggests that if you are going to eat dairy that it is
