Kale and Grapefruit Salad

Kale, Grapefruit, and Fennel Salad with a Citrus Za'atar Dressing

This delicious winter kale salad is one that takes the boring out of salad and will have you excited to dive right into this bowl. I recently had a salad over the holidays that inspired me to make my own version of it right in my own kitchen. This salad is healthy, full of flavor, texture, and couldn’t be prettier. I am obsessed with the dressing that uses one of my favorite seasonings, za’atar and has a hummus base that makes for a creamy dressing that is so good to have on hand in the fridge for any salad or veggies throughout the week that you might eat. This kale, grapefruit, and fennel salad with a citrus za’atar dressing is one that you will be making over and over again.

Vegetable Soup, Soup Recipes

The Best Vegetable Soup

Soup season has arrived for most of us and I say bring it on. There is nothing better than a cozy bowl of soup on a chilly day that just feels like the ultimate food hug. It’s hard to pick a favorite soup for me, because I have so many that I love, but a classic vegetable soup is always high on the list in my opinion. Vegetable soup can sometimes be bland and lack luster in flavor, but I am here to tell you that this recipe for the best vegetable soup is going to change your mind about how tasty a bowl of vegetables in a delicious broth can truly be. I amped up the flavor in this recipe to make it the ultimate vegetable soup that you will crave all season long.

I woke up motivated, rested, and ready to tackle this week’s to-do list! How about you? Not so much? Don’t worry if you aren’t feeling quite as enthusiastic about Monday morning just yet, I am here to change your outlook!
