Lentil and Cauliflower Dill Salad
As far as healthy eating goes the title of this post is screaming “I’m the healthiest”. Well it was until I decided that my husband would probably not eat it unless I somehow made it more appealing to him. Enter the cheating move of adding the tiniest bit of bacon. As in 4 strips. Crumble that bacon up, toss it in there and we have lift off of friends!

Peanut Tofu Noodle Bowl
Ever since we watch “Cowspiracy” (a documentary surrounding the harsh environmental impacts of cow, pork, and chicken consumption) we’ve been making a point of trying to eat minimal to no meat once per week. This is a massive challenge for me given my husbands large “need” for meat products and my requirement for high iron meals for my growing kids. Enter the soba noodle / tofu tag team that is this Peanut Tofu Noodle Bowl.

Kale Caesar Salad with Toasted Wheat Berries
2017 has arrived and with it some big goals for my little family. I’d love to do better with food. I won’t label it “clean eating” as I find that term of phrase silly and totally hurtful towards anyone eating in any other fashion. What I’d like to do better with is eat less processed foods, have less wasteful packaging in the house, less sugar for my kids, and more fresh, nutritionally dense food. Since we’re a salad family I thought starting our new year with a salad would be totally fitting and a Kale Caesar Salad with Toasted Wheat Berries was created to ease our way into more fresh food.

Squeezing More Juice Out of Life

Back-to-school season is in fully swing and nothing makes my momma heart more full than knowing my kids are getting all their essential vitamins and minerals (hello first year of school colds!). Since I have 3 kids, all 3 and under, my life is high paced and regularly leaves me feeling as though I could be offering more sources of fruits and vegetables to myself and my kids. We never buy juice, but now that Happy Planet is offering Vitamin C packed Fruit + Veg Juice in 3 kid-friendly flavours I have a new fallback to squeeze more juice – and goodness out of life.

Amazing Baby Kale Salad
If we’re going to go with the whole resolutions, intentions, something small to strive for, then let’s do while exciting our taste buds and truly enjoying it shall we? Call me crazy, but I want to be excited about eating healthy delicious wholesome foods, like a Kale Salad. Foods I know my family will be eager to eat alongside me. This salad was killer. It takes a lot for my husband to be onboard the kale-train and let me tell you that I plopped this salad down on the dinner and lunch table many times over the past week and a bit. It’s Baby Kale, Quick-Pickled Shallots, Toasted Hot Smoked Paprika Pepita Seeds (pumpkin seeds), Crumbled Goat’s Cheese with an Orange-Tarragon Vinaigrette. That huge title has actually very little going on. The full ingredient list is shorter than you’d think and the most you’ll have to do is toss some seeds in a pan and mix a salad dressing. Read on for the full recipe and ingredients as well as some drool-worthy salad porn.
I don’t have any food related new year’s intentions, but I do have personal goals that I’d like to strive for in this upcoming year. Mostly family related goals that will hopefully allow me to get back into doing things I love as we make our way out of the intense newborn phase and into an adjusted life of a family of 5 … Is there such a thing? 😉 Do you have any New Years resolutions you’d like to share?

Amazing Baby Kale Salad
The most Amazing Kale Salad that everyone can get behind.

Save RecipeIngredients
- 1 box (5 oz / 142 grams) baby kale (fine substitutes include mixed greens, arugula, or finely shredded green kale)
- 1 large shallot, finely sliced
- 2-4 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 75 grams (about 2/3 small package) goat's cheese, chèvre is preferred
- 1/4 cup pepita seeds (raw pumpkin seeds)
- 1/2 tsp hot smoked paprika
- sea salt
- 1 small orange, juiced
- 1 tsp fresh tarragon, chopped
- 5 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl cover shallot slices with white wine vinegar, about 1-2 tbsp worth depending upon your bowl size. (add more or less if necessary, you only need to cover them for this quick pickle).
- In a dry skillet place pepita seeds over medium-high heat and cook, stirring frequently until golden brown and toasted, about 3-5 minutes. Remove seeds from skillet and place in a small bowl. Top with hot smoked paprika and season generously with sea salt. Toss until seeds are coated. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a small bowl or a sealable jar (I use a mason jar) place orange juice, 2 tbsp white wine vinegar, tarragon, and olive oil. Season with salt. Whisk or shake until well blended. (You might not need all this dressing. Any unused for this recipe will keep covered and chilled in the fridge for 5-7 days and will go with most other salads).
- In a large bowl place baby kale (or green substitute) and top with crumbled goat's cheese, DRAINED shallots, seasoned pepita seeds, and vinaigrette. Tossed until vinaigrette coats ingredients.
