I love dips. They add flavor and moisture to foods, they’re versatile – meaning you can use them with pretty much anything – and for the most part, they’re healthy! Triple win. Growing up, the classic Middle Eastern hummus dip was a staple in our household. We’d always have a big container of the stuff…
Salmon with Garlic Butter Sauce
Today we will be making a delicious salmon dish that is crispy on the outside and perfectly tender on the inside. It is served with a lemony butter sauce that has just a little kick.
Simple Guacamole Recipe
I love guacamole but I don’t need the onions, tomatoes, jalapenos and cilantro when avocado tastes so good on its own! Pair that with my favorite flavor – citrus – for a fabulous mini-meal comprised of two superfoods. Avocado has more potassium than a banana with much less sugar, so whip up this 3 ingredient…
Breakfast tostadas with Florida fresh salsa
Enjoy this hearty and nutritious breakfast no matter what the weather is like outside! Inspired by Florida.
Black Bean Burger with Chipotle Mayo Sauce
Today I, Lauren, thought I’d share a yummy Black Bean veggie burger! Let me preface this recipe by saying I’m not a vegetarian, but I do like to mix-it-up and have meatless meals sometimes.

Shrimp Quesadillas with Spicy Mango Salsa
I think I could eat just about anything wrapped in a tortilla… but quesadillas are one of my favorites. I’m always trying to think of new quesadilla recipes. And with every quesadilla, there must be salsa. (Another one of my favorite things!) I’m cooking for 1 this week. The hubby is out of town so…
Cantaloupe Salad
Today was one of those days when the wind was gently blowing and thick billowy clouds filled the skies. The rain still hasn’t arrived but the conditions leading up to it made it ideal for outdoor play. We spent hours outside: a trip to the zoo with friends, then pool time (for some) and conversations…
Creamy Soup, without the cream
“With all the conflicting information on diet, what makes sense? Pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, larvicides, genetically modified organisms, chemical fertilizers, microwaves, pasteurization, homogenization, hormonally injected animals, color dyes, artificial additives, and high fructose corn syrup? Or raw, organic, sun-ripened plant food?” David Wolf You may have already guessed it, but I’ve got another set of recipes…
