Happy Monday! How was your weekend? I hope it was as good as mine! Parks and I flew back from Georgia on Saturday and spent the rest of the weekend hanging out with daddy. We played in the sprinkler, Canean cooked dinner for me (grilled BBQ crabs and oysters Rockefeller...whhhatttt!) He definitely spoiled me this weekend and I took full advantage! Today I'll be back in the kitchen and catching up on a week from being out of town. Anytime I have busy weeks like this I am always looking for easy meals that taste amazing. My ultimate steakhouse-style salad is one of those wow salads that you totally could have as a meal alone or you can serve alongside a juicy steak! Your choice!

This week started out a little crazy because I had to finish all of my cookbook edits for Baby's First Bites (which will be released in the Fall in case you didn't know!) I mean, it's only Wednesday, but I am positive it should be Friday already. Do you ever have weeks like that? Well this week is one of those for me and easy is the name of the game for all things in the kitchen. I haven't had the time or the energy for anything but easy recipes and one of my favorites go-to's is the best house salad that you will ever make at home!

It's officially Spring, which has turned into my favorite time of year here in Texas. The weather is just right and there is only a small window of time before the heat takes over and I turn into a pool of water. We have been enjoying as much outside time as we can get while the temperature is perfect! Things like strawberry picking, letting Parks play in the sprinkler, and eating crawfish with friends makes for a pretty happy lady (aka me) let me tell you. Along with the desire to be outside more, comes a strong need for color on my plate! There is something about the weather shift that makes me crave fresh foods with lots and lots of color. My roasted beet salad with tahini white beans is one of those salads that is not only delicious and super healthy, but it is also really gorgeous too!

The weather here in Texas has been very Spring like lately which has been fantastic because we have been soaking up the high seventy degree temperatures almost every day! I am a little fearful of what that means for our summer, but I'll take this window of perfect weather while I can. I am definitely ready to say goodbye to winter's heartier meals and say hello to Spring's fresh and light recipes that make me feel better as a whole! For me this means lots of fresh produce, lean proteins, and breaking out my grill more regularly! You probably are aware by now that I have been known to grill in rainy and cold weather, but there is something so much better about grilling on a sunny and warm evening or afternoon. My grilled chicken Greek salad is my new favorite that I have added into our weekly dinner rotation and you are going to love it too!

Happy Monday guys! How was your weekend? Ours was so great and spent mostly at home just hanging out. It was perfect and as always, went by too fast! I am also hitting the reset button on in the meal department because this weekend I definitely ate too many pumpkin bars and some of that lingering Halloween candy that needs to go. To get back on track, I am whipping up my healthy butternut squash, apple, and kale salad with spiced pecans to eat all week long!

Oh man, the weather here over the weekend was absolute perfection. Windows were open, there was a crispness in the air, and I actually could feel fall. We had Parks' 1st birthday party and celebrated with friends and family and it couldn't have been a more perfect day. His birthday will always signify the start of fall since it's on October 1st, and to me it doesn't seem like fall until October. One of my favorite ways to get into any season is to start cooking with my favorite seasonal flavors. My roasted beet and acorn squash Autumn salad is the perfect side dish or meatless dinner that will have your tastebuds in total fall bliss!
