Picture me sipping this while reclining in a soft beach chair with three, no - four, people surrounding me, fanning me with palm leaves. That is the space I automatically transfer to while drinking this ABSURDLY refreshing watermelon-y, lime-y, mint-y, slightly fizzy beverage from heaven. On the refreshing scale of 1 to 10, this watermelon refresher is a 34. Feel me? Watermelon and summer are ...
Herbed Mixed Berry Salad
Do you guys find yourself craving healthy, fresh things like fruit and salad if you've had a few days of unhealthy eating? This happens to me biiiiiig time. If I've had some meals over the last few days that aren't exactly packed with nutrition (i.e. pizza...burgers...nah mean?), I end up having this deep desire for crunchy, fresh salads and bright, tangy fruit. That was me this weekend. On ...
Super Simple Coconut Lime Quinoa
This is officially my new favorite way to eat quinoa. Quinoa is probably the thing I make most on repeat at my house. It is so good for you, a perfect side for pretty much anything, and it tastes awesome! I also like the texture - it's kind of chewy...in a good way!

Warm Black Bean and Quinoa Salad with Spicy Lime Dressing

So - what to make with my cooked-to-perfection-thanks-to-my-new-rice-cooker quinoa? Thiiiisssssss. Salads in winter are hard. Freezing cold weather doesn't exactly make me crave cool, ...
Blackened Salmon with Lime Cream
This salmon. It is SO easy to make and absolutely delicious. The spice rub browns in the pan and becomes this crispy, flavor bomb coating on the outside of the salmon that pairs perfectly with the refreshing lime cream that gets drizzled on top. It is seriously a match made in heaven! When Seth tried this he said it was one of the best things I've ever made...ever...so we will definitely be ...
Peanut Lime Shrimp
I'm not sure if you ever have these weeks, but the last three days have been so busy and exhausting that Seth and I just haven't had the time or energy to clean our apartment. So it got messy. Really messy. Especially the kitchen. And when I come home to a messy kitchen, it makes me just want to completely stay away from it and not cook (because that means I have to clean it first). And then ...
