Greek Chickpea and Tuna Salad

Greek Chickpea and Tuna Salad

I love a healthy meal that I can prep at the beginning of the week and have in my refrigerator to eat for easy lunches and more. Even better if that meal can be made from pantry ingredients and refrigerator staples that can be thrown together quickly in one bowl. I always have a a few cans of various beans and tuna which make for a great protein rich base for any salad. This recipe for Greek chickpea and tuna salad is loaded with flavor, cost efficient, and can be made in a hurry, which means you are going to want to have it on hand on the regular.

Roasted Potato Salad

Roasted Potato Salad with Asparagus, Pickled Fennel, and Herbs

Potato salad is a classic summertime dish for pot lucks, picnics, and more. Traditionally most potato salads are loaded with mayo and the potatoes are boiled until soft. There are few potato salads that I love for those reasons which is why I created a delicious new way to make potato salad that you are going to love so much. I am all about adding in crisp veggies into my potato salad, a little something pickled, and roasting the potatoes instead of boiling them for extra flavor and texture is a game changer. This recipe for roasted potato salad with asparagus, pickled fennel, and herbs will quickly become your new favorite potato salad.

Cuban Sliders

Cuban Sliders with Baked Plantain Chips

This post is sponsored by AdapTable Meals, but all opinions are 100% my own.

Cuban sandwiches are one of those iconic sandwiches that I love getting when I am out at a restaurant. I find it hard to find the classic Cuban sandwich bread, so I rarely make them at home. However, I partnered with my friends at AdapTable Meals to bring you a fun recipe that delivers the delicious flavors of a Cuban sandwich right at home without having to find special bread. I created a recipe for out-of-this-world Cuban sliders using AdapTable Meals Santa Maria Pork Roast, complete with a side of baked plantain chips. They are the perfect combo and so tasty too!

Buffalo Chicken Salad

7-Day Healthy Meal Plan

Let’s just call January a wash shall we? It was a transition month where we all found ourselves easing into a new year and maybe we hit our new years goals, orrrr maybe we didn’t or haven’t yet. In my case, I didn’t and honestly didn’t even try to start, so I am starting fresh in February! I am not a huge fan of new years resolutions, but I do love a good reset when I find I need it and I’m at that point where I need to go a couple of weeks of eating super clean. I created this 7-Day Meal Healthy Meal Plan to help us all get a little inspired to eat a little more mindful without sacrificing any flavor!

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.
