When I plan meals for the week, I like to have at least 2 or 3 salads on the list. I make up a big batch of each and keep them in the fridge for quick and easy lunches. Egg salad is one of my [...]

Winter Chop Salad with Apple, Pear, & Pomegranate

Did you know that it is illegal to chew gum in Singapore? True story. Just a bit of trivia for you on this fine day. Did you also know that pomegranates are one of my favorite wintertime fruits? Just in case you weren’t aware, get [...]

Superfood Salad with Creamy Herb Dressing

I’ll be honest. This salad originally consisted of me opening the refrigerator, pulling out any and all vegetables & protein I could find at the moment and tossing them together in a bowl. But (being honest again, because should we be any other way, really?) [...]

Apple Poppyseed Coleslaw

I have been on SUCH a coleslaw kick over the past few weeks. Which, I guess, isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Cabbage is incredibly nutrient dense and aids in digestion. Red cabbage in particular can help get rid of dandruff. Carrots are great for improved [...]

Almond Pasta Salad & Thoughts on Hospitality

“Go-To” Potato Salad

We all have those recipes. The ones that may not be fancy or incredibly unique, but they are tried and true, tested and found delicious, so you make them again and again. And no one seems to mind when it’s such a great recipe! That’s [...]

Orange Fennel Quinoa Salad

I love love love quinoa. A gluten-free seed (not grain like most people think) that offers up hefty doses of manganese, magnesium, and protein. What’s not to love? It’s honestly not too tasty when eaten on its own, but throw in some veggies, fruits, nuts, [...]

Sunny Side Up Brunch Salad

As much as I love muffins (and boy do I love muffins), I find that a breakfast without some greens just isn’t complete. Green veggies (whether it’s spinach blended into my smoothie or my Sunny Side Up Salad below) give me a boost of energy [...]
