Modern Greek Salad & Greek Tarragon Vinaigrette Recipe

Modern Greek Salad & Greek Tarragon Vinaigrette Recipe

"Greek Salad" can be used very lightly in American cuisine and can be served various different ways.  This is my spin on the non-traditional American adaptation which even further deviates from the original.  I've added tarragon and coconut sugar in the dressing and kale in the body.  So why call it a Greek Salad?  It has the base of a traditional, but with a modern twist and extra added health benefits.
Champagne Salad Recipe

Champagne Salad Recipe

We make a lot of salads at my house all year long but they seem to change depending on the season.  This Champagne Salad is one of my favorite late summer salads and is currently on repeat.  I've included instructions on how to make from scratch or simply assembling everything prepped from the store.  You can also make it vegetarian or vegan, my preference is vegetarian.  I've also linked my favorite brands for store bought dressing and marinade.
Winter Salad & Cheesy Leek Pita Recipe

Winter Salad & Cheesy Leek Pita Recipe

This salad is so amazing, it pairs awesome with this simple leek & cheese pita bread!  I made it last night and we had left over chicken so it had to be repeated tonight.  I’m counting down the hours until dinner because it’s that good!  In the spirit of keeping things semi-homemade I’m sharing the exact brands of what I used so you don’t get stuck with a dull cheese or not so great dressing in the “encore” below.  Leeks and Pomegranates are both some of the worlds healthiest foods, so this is a power couple meal you want to try!

When I was at the grocery store yesterday, I couldn't help noticing the guy behind me was buying all the ingredients for Chili. I think on the first brisk fall like day, everyone automatically thinks, "Let's make Chili!"

I love cake!  I think I say that at least every other day in my life. So when I saw a similar cute number cake on Pinterest or Facebook or some social media platform, I was so inspired to do it myself.

Healthier Chocolate Truffle Recipe

First I want to highlight the health benefits of Cocoa Powder.  I honestly didn't know that it was good for you, because I always associate it with chocolate in the sweet candy bar form.  In a nut shell, it is very low in calories, has tons of fiber, gives you endorphins and lots of beneficial minerals.

Simple Salad Recipe

Simple Salad Recipe

I love this this Simple Salad. I make it at least once a week, sometimes a few times. It is so good as is, or I use it as a base and build to it for a fuller meal. I also top it on pasta, burgers, bread, sandwiches, wraps, etc.
Lighter Chicken Marsala Recipe

Lighter Chicken Marsala Recipe

I love various dishes of pasta, especially with full fat sauces BUT since I try to stay as healthy as I can I like to try to recreate these types of sauces in a lighter (less calorie) way. If I can create a healthy version that still has a lot of flavor I try to mostly make that version whenever I crave a pasta dish.
