This dip is the perfect addition to your Cinco de Mayo celebration. It’s creamy, delicious, and a crowd-pleaser, and no - it’s not guac! I love serving this alongside veggies for dipping, but it also makes the perfect addition to tacos.

The greek yogurt in this dip makes it higher in protein than your typical store-bought versions. If you’re unable to tolerate dairy, you can substitute a dairy-free yogurt!

The green onions and garlic in this recipe add a ton of flavor and also act as prebiotics to feed that beneficial bacteria in your gut.

This creamy pumpkin sauce is a great way to get into the Fall mood and use that pumpkin purée you have sitting around your pantry.

This stuff is the best. I made it on a whim last week and have made it 3 more times since. It's perfectly creamy - equally great as a salad dressing, sandwich spread, and dip for veggies. It has a base of tahini, fresh cilantro and parsley (feel free to use only one of these herbs if that's all you've got on hand). The addition of mayonnaise really drives it home. Try it out!

Christmas week was the greatest. We had so much fun, spent time with so many of our favorite people. Last year I was in a sleepless fog and barely registered what was going on. This year we have a toddler who decorates trees, sings Christmas songs and loves Santa. I am totally the sappy, cheesy, sentimental parent right now. But this year was just so, so awesome.

This time last year I ate pesto. Lots and lots and lots of pesto. I remember it well because it was Labor Day week. We were on vacation, but it wasn't really vacation because we had a 3 month old that never, ever, ever, ever slept.

...are you still using bottled salad dressing? Ditch them and make your own instead! It's as easy as dumping a few things in a jar and giving it a shake (hence the name of this dressing).

Many bottled dressing are laced with sugar, corn syrup, preservatives, low-quality oils and other yucky ingredients.

My first suggestion for the Salad-a-Day Challenge is to make your own dressing. It's a simple way to jazz things up AND keep things healthy. Many bottled dressings are laced with sugar, corn syrup, preservatives, low-quality oils and other yucky ingredients. When you make your own dressing at home, you know exactly what's going into it, and you can alter it to fit your own personal tastes.
