There’s something about this salad that just feels like summer—light, bright, and bursting with flavor.
I first threw it together on a warm night when I didn’t want to cook anything heavy. I had a bag of frozen shrimp, a ripe mango, and a few veggies. After a quick grill and a simple citrusy dressi...
Egg salad was one of those nostalgic lunches I loved as a kid—but as I got older, it felt heavy and... kind of outdated. Until I gave it a little makeover.
Now? This egg salad sandwich on whole grain bread is one of my favorite feel-good meals. It’s creamy, comforting, and satisfying—but lightened ...
This recipe was born out of one of those "what do I even make?" fridge moments—when I had a ripe avocado, a can of chickpeas, and zero energy to cook.
I tossed them together with a few fresh veggies, a squeeze of lemon, and a drizzle of olive oil… and something just clicked. It was creamy, crunchy,...
There’s something so satisfying about tossing a bunch of colorful, wholesome ingredients into a bowl and calling it dinner.
I first started making this quinoa and black bean bowl during a season when I was trying to simplify everything—from my schedule to what was on my plate. I needed meals that w...
Some nights, I just can’t bring myself to turn on the stove. You know the kind—work ran late, the kids are restless, and I need dinner now, not in 45 minutes.
That’s when these tuna salad lettuce wraps come to the rescue.
I started making them during one of those “cleaning up my eating” phases, bu...
There’s something so comforting about a Caesar salad—but let’s be honest, most versions are drenched in creamy dressings that leave you feeling bloated instead of satisfied.
When I started eating cleaner, Caesar salad was one of the first things I tried to “upgrade.” I didn’t want to give it up, ju...
If you’ve ever stared into your fridge at 6 p.m., too tired to cook but also too tired of takeout, this one’s for you.
I still remember the first time I tried tofu. I was skeptical. It looked bland, felt spongy, and I had no clue what to do with it. But one night, desperate for something fast, fill...
I made this one hot afternoon when I needed something cold and tropical but didn’t want to make a smoothie or turn on the blender for long. Just frozen pineapple, water, lime, and a little sweetener — and wow, it hit the spot. Now it’s my go-to when I want to feel like I’m on vacation (even if I’m j...
This drink was inspired by a tropical fruit stand we stopped at during a family road trip. They served fresh passion fruit juice with lime — and I’ve been dreaming about it ever since. This is my easy version with citrus and sparkling water for that same bright, juicy flavor — no plane ticket requir...
I first made this when we had a big bowl of leftover berries and mint from Sunday brunch. I didn’t want to waste them, so I muddled it all together with a splash of sparkling water — and the Berry Mint Splash was born! Now it's my go-to when I want something fresh and pretty, without a lot of effort...
This one was born out of my love for anything citrusy and calming. I had half a grapefruit and a few sprigs of mint left over from the weekend, and instead of tossing them, I tried this. It’s now one of my favorite ways to start the day or beat the afternoon slump. It’s clean, fresh, and that grapef...
I first made this during a quiet afternoon when I just needed a break — something pretty, peaceful, and refreshing. I had some dried lavender from a gift set and lemons in the fridge… and that’s all it took. This lemonade is light, fragrant, and honestly feels like self-care in a glass. It’s now my ...
