Grilled Peach & Walnut Salad with Honey Mustard Vinaigrette

October 11, 2016May 20, 2018 Chelsea Leave a comment

It’s a little late in the season for a summery grilled peach & walnut salad, but I’m throwing logic out the window and sharing this salad anyway. Why? Well, just look at it!

As a kid, I hated salads. I heartily ate veggies like carrots, peas, and green beans…but if it involved lettuce, count me out. See, salads were iceberg lettuce + dressing, and they were just too boring and tasteless without drowning any iota of nutrition in processed dressing.

Now that I’m older, I know that a good salad involves more than lettuce. Toppings and add-ins elevate salads from boring to spectacular. Taking the time to make it pretty? Bonus points.

Plantain & Olive Beef Bowls

Breakfast doesn’t have to mean eggs or pastries. I’ll be the first to admit I get sick of eggs after a while, so I came up with these plantain & olive beef bowls as a filling breakfast alternative. And. It’s. Amazing.

It’s hard not to make an amazing meal when plantains, olives, capers and mayo are involved! If you haven’t been hanging out in the paleo part of the internet very long, plantain & olive beef bowls will likely sound strange. But trust me. This makes a rockin’ breakfast!

Mashed Potato Waffles

When you start to think outside the box, many things become possible. Take these mashed potato waffles. Normally you might not think to create something beyond your standard breakfast waffle. But with mashed potato waffles, many new and epic things become possible.

Savory breakfast sandwiches, mostly. But…um…is there anything wrong with that? Nope. Not one thing.

Kalamata Olive Dressing

Since completely revamping my diet, I’ve learned a thing or two about a good salad. The first rule: salads are only boring and flavorless if you make them boring and flavorless. How do you liven up a boring salad? This kalamata olive dressing is an excellent way to add some excitement to an otherwise meh meal.

Kalamata olives have been my best friends this summer. Their bright, briney flavor adds a flair to almost anything! So of course, I’ve been enjoying kalamata olives as a snack, a topping, a mix-in, and now a dressing. Drizzle this blend of chopped olives, herbs and oil on salads, chicken, beef, roasted vegetables…there are endless possibilities!

How To Make Pickled Jalapeños

By far, my favorite obsession this summer is pickling. I’ve pickled jalapeños, radishes, and onions. Next on my list are beets, garlic, and ginger. And even though it’s excessively easy, I’m sharing how to make pickled jalapeños in today’s post!

I posted a quick-and-easy tutorial about pickled jalapeños on Instagram a while ago, and it ended up being a hit. It only makes sense to take prettier pictures and post the recipe here, right? That way, it’s easier for you to find and reference.
