Lunch
Green Lentil SaladI am all about having more plant based meals, making this the perfect lunch or dinner salad. I love how simple and easy it is to make with such limited amount of ingredients. This Green Lentil Salad is so flavorful and gets better as you let it sit in the fridge! You have to try this salad out this summer!Bang Bang Shrimp SaladThis recipe is so good that once I eat one shrimp, I just can't stop. Bang Bang Sauce is something I stumbled upon on the web (from the restaurant Bonefish Grill) and was very intrigued. I later found many food bloggers recreating it and once I read the ingredients, I knew that I had to make my version of it! This is so delicious and takes no time at all to make!Cranberry Feta Salad with Dijon VinaigretteBy now you know that I love salads, and the options are endless! I love having vinaigrettes and very simple salad dressings, which is why I love this Cranberry Feta Salad with Dijon Vinaigrette! The combination of the vinaigrette with the feta and cranberry is so perfect! I love having this salad especially in the hot summer months!Asian Quinoa Salad with Sesame Ginger DressingI first had this salad at a market in my work building and instantly fell in love. I never knew how much I loved kale until that very moment! Since then I have been absolutely hooked on this Asian Quinoa Salad with homemade Sesame Ginger Dressing! It's so filling with the quinoa and all the veggies and I love that it's a salad I can make ahead of time and not have to worry about it wilting. Try it out, you wont regret it!Baked Chicken TaquitosWho here is guilty of buying taquitos from the gas station?! I definitely used to, but no more! Stop feeling guilty about eating fast food taquitos when you can have an even more delicious version that is BAKED! Yes, these Chicken Taquitos are perfectly spiced and baked in the oven to perfection! You have to give this one a try!Baked Chicken NuggetsDo you love chicken nuggets? Did you grow up with the traditional ones that are deep fried? Well I sure did, but I was happy to have found a way to eat this nostalgic dish without having to ruin my healthy diet. These baked chicken nuggets are so soft on the inside and perfectly crunchy on the outside!Baked Truffle FriesWho doesn't love a big basket of fries, especially TRUFFLE FRIES?! I know I do, and with my better baked version, you don't have to feel as guilty consuming more than your share. I love how crispy on the outside, soft on the inside these fries are! And with all the spices, yummmmmy! Definitely one of my favorite ways to eat potatoes!Baked Chicken KatsuAs a part of my Better Baked series this month, I have decided to make my first recipe Japanese inspired! I love Chicken Katsu and Japanese Curry (I have a recipe for that already), something about that combo is so good! But if you know how Katsu is traditionally made, then you know it's fried, well this version is just as crispy and tasty without all the oil! Definitely a win in my books!Slow Cooker Kung Pao ChickenI wanted to share my spin on a classic take out item: Kung Pao Chicken. Not only is this a healthier alternative, its made in a slow cooker too! I love how easily this comes together (especially if you have an instant pot) and how deliciously spicy it is with the red pepper flakes and whole red chilis! Who needs take out when you can make this!
