I like to say this is a "neon" salad because of its bright colors. The oranges and beet juice mixed together really do give it a bright pink hue! This is the salad/appetizer you break out to impress guests, and it requires very little time and effort! If you want to go totally fresh and [...]
This dressing is SO fresh and so delicious, I find myself drinking it from the salad bowl once the lettuce is gone! It is seriously bs free, and seriously addicting. I make double batches and put the other half in a glass dressing bottle, stick it in the fridge, and save it for later. Since [...]
Here's a quick kitchen pick-me-up, and a staple every woman needs to have in her back pocket. So simple to make, but impressive to taste! It's a dressing so creamy and tangy, you'd think you brought it home from a fancy Italian restaurant. Trust me, I am NOT a fan of watery, oily, tasteless dressing. [...]

If you could hear the snap-crackle-pop of this chicken, you would run to the store right now and make it immediately. The best part is that its the healthiest version of crunchy, juicy chicken you can find! You can put it over pasta with your favorite sauce, but I prefer it alone..in its natural beauty. [...]
Lone behold! We've done it again! I have concocted a SHAKE-not smoothie (shakes are yummier)- that tastes like something from Sonic. But way better for you. Added bonus if you drink it after a great workout! First you need to peel and freeze ripe bananas. This is nice because frozen things stay good 'till you [...]
Are you ready to have your tastebuds and mind blown? Like I said in my "skinny pina colada" post, I am determined to create good-for-you versions of all the things I love. I have tried every fad diet, and struggled with staying thin my whole life. If I work out too hard, I eat too much [...]
Summer is here! And if you're anything like me, you probably want to enjoy the heat without feeling bloated, dehydrated, and guilty over what you're drinking... (hello, sugar hangover!) The only problem is- I also want it to taste good. Yes, I am your typical woman. I get emotional over just the anticipation of going [...]
