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.

Butternut Squash, Kale, and Wild Rice Salad: My Diary of Us

Butternut Squash, Kale, and Wild Rice Salad

Happy Monday guys!  How was your Halloween weekend?  Did you eat too much candy?   We actually didn't get to eat that much candy because we ran out of the goods Halloween night, which was a good thing, but I may or may not have eaten too many of those pumpkin bars that I posted on Friday.  I can't resist them at all, and if you missed the recipe then you need to make them!  Since it's a new week and a new month,  I will be de-sugarfying my body starting with this healthy and really delicious butternut squash, kale, and wild rice salad! 

When we were in Florida two weeks ago, my friend Meg made us a wild rice salad with a ton of veggies and grilled chicken.  It was so good y'all and I loved the idea of tossing whatever veggies you have in the fridge with some rice and making a meal out of it!
