Apple Cider Vinaigrette + An Awesome Salad

By LVA Leave a Comment

I am in love with this apple cider vinaigrette dressing. You might even say…following the theme of the week, that I am addicted to it. Salads might be hard to swallow right now if you live in MN and the abnormally cold weather has you grumbling about the late arrival of spring. I say, screw […]

A Yummy Protein Filled Breakfast

By LVA 2 Comments

This recipe is delish and while it might not be “oatmeal” it tastes a lot like it. Plus it offers you way more protein benefits in the morning which will keep your energy sustained and pumping through until lunch time. Quinoa is an excellent source of protein.

Superb & Simple Chicken Marinade

Fresh And Fast Tuscan Chicken Salad

PYL: Curry Beans Recipe Fun

By LVA Leave a Comment

I LOVE this recipe. If you enjoy it, share it too! One of my fav things to do is mess around in the kitchen.
