Strawberry, Avocado, and Walnut Salad: My Diary of Us

Strawberry, Avocado, and Walnut Salad

Salad has not been on my list of everyday foods right now.  I have been craving lots of things, but vegetables just aren't one of them.  I'm hoping my regular love of all things healthy comes back in the next couple of weeks, and in the mean time I have been tricking my brain by putting vegetables into sauces, smoothies, and sometimes forcing myself to eat them for the sake of the baby.  However, my strawberry and avocado salad happens to be the one salad that I don't have to choke down and that actually taste amazing to me.  This salad is so healthy and easy and the flavor combinations are just right.

You can top it with grilled chicken or salmon and even your picky eaters will approve of this healthy weeknight dinner.  There is something about the savory and sweet when you get a bite of the strawberries with the tangy vinaigrette that just makes this salad so dang good until the last bite.

Kale, Grapefruit, and Pepita Salad: My Diary of Us

Kale, Grapefruit and Pepita Salad

This will be the first week in over a month that I will sleep in my own bed for more than five days in a row.  I have been to the west coast, to the east coast, and then immediately spent the weekend away in New Orleans.  My body is completely out of whack from not eating the right foods and not drinking enough water over the past month.  This week I have been on a mission to nourish and be kind to my body because it is SO not used to the mistreatment.  That's why my kale, grapefruit, and pepita salad has been the perfect lunch addition to my meal planning this week!

I've been drinking lemon water by the gallon and almost passed out from working out yesterday since I haven't been regularly doing that either...oops.  And yeah, why does it take so long to get in shape and so little time to get out of shape?  And then there are the cookies that are torturing me on my social media news feed from all of my favorite bloggers and I'm all like "veggies, lemon water, detox, you can do this Leigh Ann."
