Berry Spinach Salad & Lemon Poppy Seed Vinaigrette

March 24, 2013 Amanda Plott

I'll admit, I wasn't quite ready for spring yet this year. I've had a case of the springtime-blues. I'll take all the cool weather I can get here in Texas, but I can already feel the daunting heat of summer rearing it's ugly head. We've already hit the 90's, ugh!

I paired this is a lovely spring inspired lemon poppyseed vinaigrette with a spinach salad that's clearly gearing up for summer! Eating this for lunch has really given me a kick in the right direction to stave off those springtime-blues...

Quick Enchilada Sauce

This recipe for a basic red enchilada sauce is super easy and tastes great!

I left this sauce with a little bit of heat, but not enough to burn my toddlers tastebuds off. If you don't have sensitive little mouths in your house, you can always get more of a kick by adding in more chili powder or cayenne!...

Faux Refried Beans

I kicked the can a few years ago, and you should too!

Making beans in a slow cooker is easy, basically hands free, and so much more healthy than the ones you get in a can. Better yet, beans you make yourself are about half the price; saving your wallet a bundle as well!...

These healthified baked basil mozzarella sticks are super easy and tasty! A serving of two is less than 75 calories, and this recipe is so versatile, the possibilities are endless! I can't wait to try a cheddar and jalapeño version.

Dip these in marinara, like you would cheese sticks, or serve as a side to this Skinny Tomato Basil Soup in place of a grilled cheese...
