CORN, TOMATO AND CUCUMBER SALAD


This hearty Corn, Tomato and Cucumber Salad is so easy to prepare and bursting with flavor!


I hope everyone had a great Easter!  I needed a good veggie salad after all of the indulging at my mama’s house, so I made this easy salad.  It takes all of 10 minutes to throw together!

It also has jalapeños, red onion, cilantro and other seasonings.  Don’t let the jalapeños scare you off, though… this salad’s not hot at all.

I ate this salad as a meal, but it’s a perfect side dish that’s satisfying but not too heavy.  It would also be great served on top of grilled fish!

Paleo & Keto Matcha Breakfast Bowl

Image
Think of this overnight paleo and keto matcha breakfast bowl as an ideal way to kickstart your day: a true  nutritional powerhouse , packed with  antioxidants and fiber . Paleo & Keto Matcha Breakfast Bowl  Overnight This matcha bowl with chia seeds has been  my go-to breakfast  as of late. It’s  quick , packed with  fiber , incredibly  nutrient dense , and  delicious . As in, it checks all the right boxes. I  whip up a large batch  and keep it handy in the fridge for the week. i.e. it’s meal prepping supreme. Then I either eat the chia pudding whole with a handful of berries, or when I’m feeling fancy I turn it into a ‘breakfast bowl’. I simply blend the matcha chia pudding with half an avocado (for added good fats, nutrients and extra creaminess), some mint leaves (or extract), a handful of ice, and make a smooth pudding-like bowl out of it. Sort of like our Shamrock shake, but thicker and packed with fiber. The r...

7-Layer Bean Dip

Image
The ultimate party food – 7 Layer Bean Dip! My family has long loved 7 layer bean dip. We all sit down and eat a very generous serving whenever it’s around, as in there’s rarely ever a speck left. I’ve shared a few versions of this classic dip but this is my favorite version. It is just SO good!! I took the classic version, the one you’ll find all over the interwebs and added my own spin to it. I started with the classic canned refried beans. I used RosaritaRefried Beans, they’re my go-to canned refried beans. You can find them at Walmart. I added my own seasoning blend to the beans (seasoning packets have their place just not here, typically you’ll find a whole packet of seasoning in these too – I think that’s just too much I want to be able to taste everything else), I also used homemade guacamole, nixed the salsa and rather added a can of  Ro*tel Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilies (and I mixed them right into the beans it gives them a great flavor). And then I...
