Healthy Labor Day BBQ recipe ideas
Hi friends! Happy Sunday!! I hope that those of you who are off work tomorrow are enjoying a relaxing weekend.
It’s been a pretty good one over here, and the Pilot and I have cranked through a legendary to-do list we crafted together. Baby’s room is almost done -I will definitely post pics when it is!- and we went through a huge purge, revamp, fall cleaning spree. I also convinced the Pilot to take out the Halloween decorations. If Starbucks has pumpkin spice lattes, the pumpkins, fall decor, and Dia de Los Meurtos skulls are coming out.
Welcome baaaaack.
Are you grilling or hanging out with friends tomorrow? We’re going to hit the gym in the morning and spend the rest of the day poolside with friends. I put together some of my favorite healthy BBQ and party recipe ideas if you’re looking for a little last-minute inspiration.
The best pasta salad you will ever have
We made a batch of this to go with dinner last week, and it was just as good as I remembered. Its name exists for a reason. 🙂
My version of the Burger Lounge veggie burger
These are hearty and savory twists on the usual burgers; plus, they’re packed with veggies.
Pineapple veggie chicken skewers with spicy peanut butter sauce
A refreshing twist on the usual kebobs, and the sauce is AWESOME.
Orange and mint fruit salad
Classic fruit salad infused with fresh mint and bright orange.
Gluten-free vegan banana pudding
Paleo molten chocolate almond butter cakes
Garlic butter sweet potato fries
Kale salad with carrots, apples, raisins and a creamy curry dressing
Also, there are some CRAZY AMAZING sales going on this weekend!
