Salad Challenge: Sweet + Creamy Broccoli Salad
For an introduction to this weeks’ salad challenge, check out this post. Day two of our challenge and I just had to begin by posting my favorite of all the recipes I’ll be sharing this week. I know, I should have probably worked up to my favorite, but I couldn’t help myself. Maybe I’ll change…
Quinoa Salad with Smokey Bear Dressing
Is it weird that the entire time I was enjoying this bowl of quinoa salad I was thinking of Smokey the bear? [source] Only you can prevent forest fires… Oh my gosh, blast from the past. But this recipe isn’t about bears, or forest fires, or PSA’s from 1950, sorry to disappoint. This recipe is…

Happy Tummy Fruit Salad with Ginger Mint Glaze
Summer gets me in the mood to sit outside on a picnic bench and enjoy a bowlful of the freshest in-season fruits. Unfortunately for us Calgarians, it hasn’t exactly been warm this summer. But, just because the weather stinks doesn’t mean I can’t eat like it’s hot outside… while wearing my thick fall fleece and…
Maple Balsamic Dijon Salad with Strawberries & Pecans
So, I pulled my groin running last week. If it’s not one injury it’s another, I tell ya. The pain comes and goes, but the inflammation is ridiculous. On top of using arnica gel and epsom salt baths, I’ve been adding flax oil [omega-3] in absolutely everything to help with my overall inflammation. Any additional…
Dad’s Famous Potato Salad
The summer months bring back so many fantastic childhood memories. In the summer… You could catch me hiding with my dad under the dinning room table, chowing down on dipped Oreos in milk right before dinner.
