My Orchard Experience: The Top 3 Things I Learned About Almonds in Sacramento!
I’m a lucky gal.

Cedar Plank Salmon Burgers
Typically speaking, by the time August wraps up I’m completely over burgers of any kind. That was until we made these Cedar Plank Salmon Burgers. Where have these been all of my life? Now, I’ve had salmon burgers before, but they all pale in comparison next to these (if I may be so bold).
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!
Fit Mom Snack Guide

Kitchen Sink Salad
Isn’t it funny how January hits and all of a sudden salads look AMAZING?? I guess a person can only handle so many shortbread cookies before the body goes on strike. I ate a quinoa salad at the Cactus Club not that long ago that I became obsessed over. I loved the combination of ingredients,…
