Salad in jar… Why have I never made these before? They are so easy to make! I made a Chicken Caesar Kale Salad, but any type of your favorite salad would work. I have always kind of steered away from using kale in a salad. I always found it kind of bitter. But after I made this Kale, Strawberry and Avocado Salad, I learned that squeezing a lemon over the kale first and then massaging it with your hands turns the kale a bright green. This helps get rid of that bitter taste.
If you have been following my blog you know we have been busy house hunting. Well… We found the perfect house. It has pretty much everything we were looking for and a cute little yard with pool too. EEEK I am so excited! I have always wanted a pool!
I am also super excited to have a great place to entertain. Continue reading Asparagus Avocado Tomato Salad
I think I have found my new favorite salad! I tend to go through phases with salads…
Sometimes I can eat one everyday and then I am good for awhile. I do like to change my salads up a bit and sort of “think outside of the salad bowl.” Haha! I know that was lame! Moving on, kale is an awesome green to use for a salad. It is inexpensive and really good for you. Some might be hesitant as kale can sometimes be bitter, but I promise if you prep this correctly it will taste amazing!

If you have been following my blog for sometime now you probably have figured out I LOVE avocados. So when they were 4 for $5 at the market I had to buy them. I thought I had tried everything I could think of using an avocado… Guacamole, Avocado Egg Salad, Avocado Grilled Cheese, and simply dicing them up and putting them in just about anything. Then I realized I have never made avocado fries! WHAAAAT?
The Super Bowl is right around the corner. Instead of serving calorie filled chicken wings give these Buffalo Chicken Meatballs a try. I promise you and your guests will not be disappointed! Although, you may want to double this recipe if you are serving a large crowd. Let’s face you can’t eat just one 🙂
Football playoffs start this weekend! I am sure we will have a few get togethers to go too and I always like to bring some sort of appetizer.
During the holidays we have had quite a few parties to attend. Yay! I love parties! I usually try to bring something a little different. Since I have a food blog I feel it is expected of me to bring something amazing. No pressure!
A few weeks ago I made Buffalo Chicken Cups for my neighborhood party and they where deeeelish! So for the next shin dig I wanted to switch it up a bit. I came up with a black bean and chicken enchilada cups. Who wouldn’t love an enchilada in a cup?
Life has been CRAZY the last few weeks. My husband got a new job and we are relocating from the Philadelphia area to Dallas in January. We sold our house rather quickly and are currently staying with my sister and her family until the big move. Now that we are getting settled I can get back to my blogging 🙂 I missed it and I am glad to be back!
Layered Taco Dip is my go to recipe when I need to bring something to a party. It’s quick, easy, and usually the first thing to go!
