Hey guys! Welcome to the first food post I’ve worked on since I got told I needed to eat differently- Salmon Cake Salad. I’d been struggling a bit with what to eat and how to eat after being told my diet could help control symptoms of inflammation (more about what’s been going on for me in an upcoming post), but these salmon cakes and the accompanying salad was the first time I sat down and ate and felt like “Ok, this is going to be ok.” For me, food is a major source of joy. There’s a food for every situation and you can celebrate with food, comfort with food, gift with food and receive love with food… It’s the best. So being told no butter, no refined wheat, cut the fat, etc etc was NOT something I wanted to hear. I love butter and pasta. And steak. This salmon…

Hi Guys! I hope the first week of 2017 is going well for you! Since this time of year is often when we want to focus on health and weight loss goals, I wanted to share my favorite salad of late! This is inspired by a salad my family had out for dinner one night (I wasn’t there) at a restaurant, that my mum then tweaked to her preferences and I am in LOVE. This salad is so stinking simple, and while it has cheese, it’s a small amount that feels decadent because you’re literally just shaving it in. This is fast to make but delicious and a total show stopper- and is SO affordable for a salad this time of year! I posted the picture below right after Christmas and people were liking it like crazy- so I knew I wanted to share with you. Tomato Basil Salad with…

Hello! This post is an example of how to turn a few strips of leftover steak into an amazing meal that feels both light and satisfying. In the summer I just love salads, meal salads, and will take any excuse to make one! I’m currently trying to grow lettuce outside my front door, but I’m not having too much luck sadly. That said, you can grab 6 heads of lettuce right now for $4.98 and go wild! That’s what I had done when I made this salad. Yes, this meal is just 47 cents off of what I try to eat for on a daily basis, but every now and again a (still affordable) treat should be had. And sometimes those steak leftovers languish and never really live again in an exciting way, so this is an awesome option to do justice by them. Steak and Goat Cheese Salad Serves one…

Anyone who follows me on Instagram probably remembers this little snap of a salad I whipped up the other day, which was just too delicious to not share. This isn’t a cheap dinner, but it sure was delicious. For a less hungry person, this could serve two, but I kept it as a single serving on price since that’s how I ate it. Beets and Greens Salad $3.23 per serving ~1 Large Beet- $0.57 ~1/3 of a large container of mixed greens – $1.46 ~1/8 of a large container of feta- $0.88 1/3 of a can of cannellini beans- $0.32 Pantry Staples for dressing- olive oil, lemon juice, dijon mustard, salt and pepper (remember to salt and pepper liberally since the beans etc are a very blank slate. Go harder on the pepper and lighter on the salt due to the feta.) Start off by washing your lettuce and using…
