How to build the perfect salad

Lately, especially since we’re doing March Greens, I’ve received quite a few requests for a salad posts. To be totally honest, a lot of the salads I consume (and I eat a whole lotta ensalada) have no rhyme or reason whatsoever. Leftover black bean burger, swirl of ketchup, sweet potato fries and greens? Totally awesome,…

PRO meals: Spicy chopped salad

As you guys know, I’ve always been a fan of planning and prepping meals in advance. Sunday, I’ll make and chop as many foods as possible for the upcoming week, and then when we’re hungry, it’s so much easier to grab something, add a few finishing touches and feast. I try to have at least…

Friday Faves and Beasts

My favorite beast and I had a movie date last night. We watched “Crazy, Stupid, Love” and I’m not really sure the Pilot liked the “Hey girl…” lines we were quoting while enjoying a shirtless Ryan Gossling. Bella’s: “Hey girl, wanna play fetch?”  The movie was pretty good. I was in the mood for something…

Lemon-mint lentil salad

I prefer making them at home because restaurant salads are often sad, small and wilty. With at-home salads, you can control how sweet/savory/iceberg lettuce-free and beastly…

King of all beasts

After teaching today, I was ready for a giant Oregano’s salad. Not just a “someone got heavy-handed with the lettuce” salad.. a “feed a family of 4” salad. Except the family of 4 was my face.   Chicken, romaine, pine nuts, sundried tomatoes, kalamata olives, roasted red peppers, soaked raisins (my favorite part) and balsamic…

Salad of Lies

Hey hey 😀 Hope you’ve had a wonderful Sunday! Today was pretty amazeballz because I got to take a LaBlast class from Louis. It was exciting because while I teach LaBlast, I had never taken a live class (besides training) with the mastermind behind it. His energy is out of control and it was helpful…
