I think I have found my new favorite salad! I tend to go through phases with salads…

Kale Strawberry and Avocado Salad with Lemon Poppyseed Dressing

Sometimes I can eat one everyday and then I am good for awhile. I do like to change my salads up a bit and sort of “think outside of the salad bowl.”  Haha!  I know that was lame! Moving on, kale is an awesome green to use for a salad. It is inexpensive and really good for you. Some might be hesitant as kale can sometimes be bitter, but I promise if you prep this correctly it will taste amazing!

While I can’t tell a lie, it has been absolutely beautiful in Texas this past week. We have been grilling dinner outside almost every night. All of this grilling has me craving one of my favorite side dishes… Asian Sesame Pasta Salad.

I thought I had tried everything I could think of using an avocado… Guacamole, Avocado Egg Salad, Avocado Grilled Cheese, and simply dicing them up and putting them in just about anything. Then I realized I have never made avocado fries! WHAAAAT?

When I think of Thanksgiving dessert I immediately think Pumpkin Pie. So of course I had to find a healthier way to enjoy a Thanksgiving favorite.

Luckily, my mother in law had given me some fresh pumpkin that she roasted and pureed herself. While I think that tastes the best, canned pumpkin will taste just fine in this recipe if you don’t have the fresh stuff.

I have made lots of hummus in my life, but could never figure out how to get that super creamy stuff you get at the store. I found the secret. Squeeze the skins off of those little buggers. It is kind of a pain, but totally worth it.  The texture is so creamy, you’ll be glad you did!
