Homemade Sun Dried Tomatoes

Sun dried tomatoes are a heavy hitter in the summer. There are tons of recipes out for them right now and tons of ways to enjoy them. But sometimes you have trouble finding them or don’t want to spend the money on a jar at the store. The good news is you can make your own version at home! These come out delicious and I was able to get them to the exact dryness I wanted. Now I know these are technically “sun-dried” but it’s quicker and cheaper than the original way.  Continue reading “Homemade Sun Dried Tomatoes”

Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice

Vegetarian

As delicious as carbs are, sometimes you need to cut them out. I’m all for moderation so I would never tell you to give up those amazing carbs but if you are looking for a way to get away from the carbs for awhile then this recipe for Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice is perfect. I used a bag of pre-made rice that I bought. You can find already made rice here. However, if you want to make your own it is very easy. Just take one large cauliflower and break it into florets. Rinse them well and pat dry. Then place them into a food processor and pulse until it’s the consistency of rice. Then you are ready to go! If you are looking for more cauliflower rice options, check out this Chicken Fried Cauliflower Rice!  Continue reading “Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice”

Chicken Cobb Salad

Chicken Cobb Salad

Happy June! Summer is finally here and now it’s time for some really light but delicious meals. You don’t want a super heavy dish when it’s hot outside so this Chicken Cobb Salad is the perfect thing. The chicken and egg packs it full of protein without weighing you down and the avocado gives you a boost of healthy fat along with the vegetables giving you the freshness you crave. You can top this with whatever dressing that you want but an avocado ranch would be fantastic, I love this brand because it’s not loaded with extra sugar and won’t ruin all the healthy perks of the salad. This is definitely a meal you will want to eat every day!  Continue reading “Chicken Cobb Salad”
