- [Vegan Rice Krispies Squares](https://fraicheliving.com/vegan-rice-krispies-squares/) - Growing up in the 80's, Rice Krispies Squares were a childhood staple in the treat department.

Over the years
- [Arugula & Quinoa Salad](https://fraicheliving.com/arugula-quinoa-salad/) - We've been seriously crushing on arugula lately. Maybe it's a consequence of eating our weight in spinach (we go through so much spinach!)? Paired with quinoa, this hearty arugula salad is enough for a meal, but you can top it with a filet of salmon or chicken if you wish! Arugula is slightly peppery (also known
