My mom makes this uh-maze-ing Black Bean Salsa. It's 4 simple main ingredients {black beans + corn + red pepper + red onion} plus 3 ingredients for the dressing {balsamic + dijon + (optional) olive oil}. A little salt and pepper and bam, you're good to go. It's a great dip but I also love it over salmon or over a salad as the dressing. My college buddy and RD blogger Rachel posted the salsa on her blog Delicious Balance not too long ago. … [Read more...]

For breakfast, lunch, or dinner I have a delicious protein I'm excited about eating that is extremely versatile. … [Read more...]
Thai Beef Salad
There's nothing like fresh, crunchy ingredients and exotic flavors to satisfy my taste buds. My version of Thai Beef Salad does just that. I cannot eat the same thing every day. It would be so much easier if I could, but alas, my cooking adventures continue. And kudos to you people who can eat salmon and broccoli for every meal. I could never be you. I need spicy, sweet, sour, salty, and umami to satisfy me. I need both new flavors from … [Read more...]
