Grilled Zucchini Ribbon and Kale Salad
Oh, kale. Oh how I dig you so. And zucchini, oh how I wish we could ride off together into the sunset. Just the two of us. But we should invite the kale along too, because remember how I just said I dig it so? I do. I do dig it so. And if there's room, would it be okay to invite some blue cheese crumbles along? Because you know cheese is my ultimate weakness and I'd wither away within moments without it. You know this, yes? Could it come a... Read More
BLT-Avocado Salad
BLT is one of the most classic flavor combos around, but the past 4 or 5 times I’ve made or had it, avocado has joined the party. I think it’s time to officially make avocado a permanent member of the iconic combo. Is everyone okay with calling it a “BLAT”? Or would you rather “BALT”? Either way, this Bacon Lettuce Avocado Tomato Salad really showcases just how good this combo really is. The key to this salad is replacing the c... Read More

Kale, Apple & Pancetta Salad
This Kale, Apple & Pancetta Salad is all the rage these days. It’s what all the cool kids are talking about (and eating). It’s the dope ISH. The bomb-diggety. The flavor(s) of the week – and every week hereafter for the rest of time… Once you give it a try, you’ll know what I’m saying.

How to Make Kale Taste Great
Fee, fi, fo, fum… this Kale, Cherry & Walnut Salad is SO. MUCH. YUM. You see, kale is one of my new favorite things to eat (and I’m not just saying that to make up for the gajillion cookies I consumed over the holidays).

You’d be surprised how many ways you can use kale and actually LIKE it.... Read More

Lemon Chicken Salad on Pretzel Bun
There are few foods I won’t eat. Liver is one of them (sorry Grandma, I love you, but not your liver dumpling soup). Corned beef hash is another. And until recently, I wasn’t the biggest fan of chicken salad – let’s just chalk that up to one bad experience that I don’t care to repeat (the same can be said for red Jell-O… but let’s not talk about it). But I’m not one to hold grudges, especially when it comes to food, so I decid... Read More
