I ate those pita chips up there for dinner. Then a few more forkfuls of this chicken salad right out of the jar! It’s really good. The kind you’re so excited to eat that you end up standing up in the kitchen dunking crackers in it. The kind you pack for lunch to share with your boyf. The kind you recommend over that weird deli biz every time. There’s no mayo up in here. The…
I am really into pasta, would maybe even say I have a passion for it. I’ve been known to get a mac and cheese for one together and bake it for the time frame it takes me to run 3 miles. POW. Anyhow, while it’s super tasty with tons of cheese, hopes, dreams and sauce on top, it also can be part of a healthy meal or even a solid lunch idea. So that’s part…
It’s totally spummer out. (Ya know, that season that’s right between spring and summer.) One day it’s 87 and the next day it’s 65. This weather is cray. But on the ideal spummer day it’s good to have picnic fixings on the ready! You see, this day would be about 75 and sunny, and it wouldn’t rain as soon as you sat on your picnic blanket, and you sure wouldn’t cut your thumb on the…
For the longest time I ate snooze-fest salads. I’d feel disappointed if I had to muster one up for lunch. But I was going about it all wrong! You see, the key to an awesome salad is lots of bright colors and sriracha in the vinaigrette. This salad is rainbow, and puts the fun in funfetti, ya know? And this can be switched up however you fancy. It’s tasty with spinach, kale, romaine, or arugula.…
Polka dot pants are the new denim. Cowboy boots are the new cold weather necessity. Pink is the new black, and this salad is the new roasted sweet potato and black bean quesadilla. At least in my life. I can’t stop making this! Especially because once you have the ingredients you can salad it up for days. I made this for my parents when they visited. I’ve made this for a friend of mine twice.…
Sometimes shoots happen where you get to hang out at your own house by all your own windows. And then to invite your friends over for lunch to eat all the tasty photogenic food. That’s the best kind of shoot. You best believe! Vintage sheet music makes pretty cute photo backdrops. I want that little Rudolph by every wintry situation ever. I want fresh herbs sprinkled on every meal. And let’s have warm salads this…
This is the kind of meal where you can’t help but take giant, un-ladylike, but totally respectable, bites. These noodles are Lady and the Tramp-esque. Who knows, maybe you’ll meet your true love mid-noodle. But mostly just know that this is one tasty dinner. It’s perfect for a casual weeknight. It’s filling AND it’s pretty. And I promise you’ll be full before you want to be. You might get mad at your tum for not…
Let’s have a multi-colored lunch, and cook an eggplant for the first time. Let’s eat this super-model salad with my favorite spoon, and try super-hard to save it for lunch tomorrow! Let’s put some chicken sausage in it, and fall in love with couscous again. Let’s serve it with pizza. Let’s serve it with this pizza: Mushroom Fontina Pizza. I did, and it was a lovely match! A couple of hotties, even! You see, we go…
My friend, Katie, is the coolest. She’s the cutest and most fun. She also makes really good salads. This one is my favorite. Partly because it has avocado in it, but mostly because it’s delicious. Honestly, I wish I had this in my fridge all the time for snacking. And the bleu cheese makes it so good! You barely need any dressing. So you guys should probably make this, and be the most popular person…
I need to get it together. The other day I got on the treadmill at the gym with my sunglasses on. Then I failed at installing an air conditioner in the window. And yesterday, I cooked chicken and then dropped it in the sink into a dirty cup. But when salads like this happen, I don’t feel as bad about messing stuff up. You see, this salad is a win. The goat cheese is crunchy…
