Foam Rolling
Foam rolling or Self Myofascial Release is a great way to help yourself & prevent injury. There are many different tools you can use, but some of my faves: foam roll, soft balls, soft medicine balls, and lacrosse or tennis balls.
Kale & Chickpea Salad
Have you ever had something to eat at a restaurant that you wanted to replicate at home?! Me too! All the time. I draw inspiration from meals out & replicating it at home is not only delicious…but it takes me back to the beautiful memory! And since I had this at Scandive Spa in Whistler….um, hello! Great news? It’s a simple one to make at home!
Sriracha Maple Dressing
I created this dressing when I was planning a salad..only to realize my greens were MIA (with my hubby at work). Enter sauteed veggies and YUM!
Delicious Dilly Dressing (vegan/ dairy free)
I was craving a creamy dressing and something a little different, but dairy and I don’t get along…so I played around and came up with this and it’s the NEW hit of the house. So creamy & delicious and NO dairy!
Smoothie Pops!
It’s summer and my kids LOVE popsicles (frankly, so do I)! I don’t however LOVE all the dyes and chemicals in MOST popsicles. But smoothies freeze beautifully and make great pops (with some nutritional value).
Healthy 3-Bean Salad
I love bean salad, but commercial bean salads are full of yucky chemicals and junk and bean salad is actually SUPER easy to make. Here’s my go-to recipe…
Ginger Soy Quinoa Salad
This simple salad pulled together in a snap & was also great the next day. I served it with grilled salmon (those are my leftovers in the pic #winning) but it would also be great with grilled tofu or chicken. Or you could throw in some edamame for a quick simple one bowl option!
Shrimp Tacos
I love all fish tacos – but for a super QUICK meal (like 10 minutes) the other night I swapped out my usual fish for SHRIMP and yum.
Turkey Burgers & Curried Quinoa
Two experimental recipes in one night – going to TOWN! Great news, they both turned out really well. And made for wicked leftovers that lasted a few days. #winning
Wild Rice Salad with Ginger Sesame Vinaigrette
I know I ALWAYS seem to be harping on this…but a little prep goes a long way. Wild rice has a long cooking time (aka 45 minutes = FOREVER). Way too long for me on a weeknight. So prepped wild rice made pulling this salad together a SNAP (peas included). Not only was it delish, extras for lunch (smartypants) – the kids really liked it (for real – my kids really do eat the stuff I post!).
