Strawberry Summer Salad

Remember a few weeks ago when I posted about this yummy salad dressing? Seriously-- it's delicious. Go buy some, now. 

I'll wait. 

My MIL has made this salad at least a thousand times and I had been craving it for almost a month before I texted her asking where to buy it. It it so amazing and always makes me think of being at my in laws house-- easy going, fun, and relaxed!

She sent me the picture (above) and I literally went out and bought that stuff thirty seconds later. Seriously, it makes the salad. 

There really isn't a recipe for this salad, because you just throw stuff together in a bowl. 

What you'll need:

:: Strawberries 

:: Feta cheese

:: Spinach

:: Vinaigrette dressing (ahem, pictured above)

:: Almonds/pecans/walnuts/something crunchy

Yum! Let me know what you think. I was going to include a picture of me and my MIL but I seem to not have one. Can you guess what we'll be accomplishing the next time she comes? :) 

Enjoy! xO

New Smoothie Trick!

A few weeks ago I posted my Chocolate Banana Spinach Smoothie recipe. It's absolutely delicious and Nathan enjoys it almost it everyday! 

But, I'm not a chocolate person. I needed a fun way to add some flavor to my smoothies without being hugely caloric (Cough cough peanut butter) or expensive. 

Enter strawberry fruit bars. They are perfect!

I prepared my smoothie as I normally do-- milk, spinach, frozen strawberries, frozen bananas-- then I added in the fruit bars. Yes, I took them off the stick.

It was so delicious. The bars added just enough flavor and at 80 calories, I feel OK about adding that to my smoothie! 

Oh-- I used our Organic Skim Milk (Click here to read more on our organic journey) and couldn't taste a difference. :) Looks like we'll be buying that from now on. 

Enjoy! xO
