This delicious winter kale salad is one that takes the boring out of salad and will have you excited to dive right into this bowl. I recently had a salad over the holidays that inspired me to make my own version of it right in my own kitchen. This salad is healthy, full of flavor, texture, and couldn’t be prettier. I am obsessed with the dressing that uses one of my favorite seasonings, za’atar and has a hummus base that makes for a creamy dressing that is so good to have on hand in the fridge for any salad or veggies throughout the week that you might eat. This kale, grapefruit, and fennel salad with a citrus za’atar dressing is one that you will be making over and over again.

The holiday season has been in full swing, which means more than ever there are sweet treats and decadent dishes being served up wherever we look. I find that during these times it is even more important to stay on top of our health. With the hustle and the bustle of the season, Karuna makes it easy to ensure that I am getting the good stuff that my body needs every single day. Having Karuna drinks on hand, plus staying active, and eating a well-balanced diet are ways that I can fuel my body during a season that sometimes can wear us down.

I grew up in Tennessee where collard greens were are regular part of any Sunday dinner. They were slowly cooked all day, usually by a grandmother who learned from her mother and passed down the tradition to her own kids in hopes the recipe would live on and on. Collard greens are soul food in the best way and I have memories of eating them with cornbread hot out of the oven. I created an easy southern collard green recipe that pays tribute to all of the southern women who cooked them before me and I just know that you are going to fall in love with them too.
Pot pie is one of those classic dishes that take me back to my childhood. Back then it was usually a frozen pot pie and while there is nothing wrong with a little help from the freezer section, making one homemade is actually quite easy! I still take a little help from a store bought pie crust, because not everyone has time to make scratch pie dough, but the filling is homemade and full of goodness. This recipe is so tasty and with Thanksgiving upon us, pot pie is a great way to use up those turkey leftovers! This recipe for easy turkey pot pie is going to be a new cozy dinner staple throughout the holiday season and beyond.
