Doritos Taco Salad

Doritos-Taco-Salad
If you’re worried you will be unable to stop eating them if you open a large bag of Doritos (like I was), they sell 6-packs of 1 oz bags. Use four for the recipe and then you’ll just have two individual, pre-portioned servings to eat later!Source

Creamy Banana Pudding

Creamy-Banana-Pudding
Who can resist the classic, cool, creamy concoction of banana pudding and vanilla wafers? I’ll admit that I usually much prefer chocolate desserts, but this banana pudding trifle has nearly convinced me to change my mind. Not only does it make you feel like a rockstar for making banana pudding from scratch, but it is such a refreshing, delicious, crowd-pleasing dessert, that all the extra work (which really isn’t hard at all!) is worth it.Source

Loaded Baked Potato

I really wanted to call these rounds of potatoes, Chips. I know they aren’t chips-chips because the potatoes are not crunchy, but they look like chips. And if I ever had to tell you what my favorite potato chip flavor was, I would say Loaded Baked Potato Chips.Source

Strawberry Poppyseed and Bacon Chopped Salad

Kale

Kale
The popularity of this nutrient-packed leafy green has skyrocketed, prompting health and fitness websites, individuals, programs, nutritionists, and beginning gardeners, like myself, to take note and incorporate it as often as possible. Eating unprocessed vegetables in general can do wonders for your health and overall well-being by improving and preventing illness and disease. Kale, however, takes the (butter-less, sugar-less, superfood packed, vegan, organic, artificial flavor-less, GMO-less) cake.Source

Limoncello Raspberry

Limoncello-Raspberry
Anyway, it’s a problem to which I’ve found my forever solution – Prosecco! It’s an Italian dry sparkling white wine every bit as crisp and refreshing as champagne. My favorite is Ruffino, a delicate and extra-dry variety with hints of apple, peach and citrus. Perfection in a glass, even just by itself! But it happens to make a knockout of a summer cocktail served with a splash of limoncello and fresh berries, tooSource

Turkey Meatballs

Turkey-Meatballs
Skinny Italian Turkey Meatballs:My Italian hubby loves these meatballs. He normally prefers ground beef to ground turkey but honestly says you can't tell the difference. I agree and since these meatballs are so healthy and low in points, I no longer make my meatballs with beef. It is best to make these meatballs small so they hold together. These little meatballs make a great appetizer with toothpicks inserted, or have them for lunch with good Italian bread, or dinner over pasta.Source

BLT Chopped Salad

BLT Chopped Salad with Corn, Feta + Avocado-This salad… ugh. So good. I’ve rambled about my love for chopped salads for years on this little internet page. I don’t know what it is. The crunch of vegetables turns me off so maybe it’s just that everything is smaller and tiny and can be picked up in one spoon?

I think what it really is though.. is that I can use tortilla chips to eat this salad. Now THAT is where it’s at. I’m so into it.Source

Kiwi Blueberry Mojito

Kiwi-Blueberry-Mojito
My kids are so happy about the Seahawks, so obviously I had to also make a mocktail variation of this drink so that they could celebrate. This kiwi blueberry mojito is very easy to turn into a mocktail, just leave out the rum and you will have a yummy kiwi blueberry mint mocktail for the kids or anyone that doesn’t drink alcohol.Source

Pear Berry

Pear Berry Weight-Loss Smoothie:The key to weight loss is filling up on low-cal foods that are high in fiber and protein to keep you satiated longer. Pears, berries, kiwi, avocado, greens, and flaxmeal are known for their high fiber content. Throw in some Greek yogurt for protein, and you've got a tangy breakfast that'll keep hunger at bay for hours, which means fewer calories consumed throughout the day.Source

grilled cheese roll-ups with marinara dipping sauce:Gracie got a bee in her bonnet to make these grilled cheese roll-ups yesterday for our before-dinner appetizers. She saw something similar online, and now she has ideas for a bunch of different fillings and dipping sauces to try next. The classic grilled cheese is where she started, and they really did turn out yummy! This is a great recipe for kids to attempt if they have some experience using the stove, and with parental supervision, of course.Source

A friend of ours has a house that backs up to the Newport Harbor and that is a block away from the beach, and he blessed us by letting us stay a week there.Source

Coconut Curry Hummus

Coconut-Curry-Hummus
Fiber- and protein-packed hummus is always a healthy option, but recently, this staple snack has been losing its luster. After tasting the coconut-curry flavor from Boulder-based Hope Hummus, I fell in love all over again. The combination of sweet, tangy, and spicy was so exciting that I immediately went home to hack the recipe.

Healthy spices like curry and turmeric and an interesting array of produce blend together for this Thai twist on the Mediterranean classic. It might not be exactly like the traditional, but it's still sure to satisfy. Keep reading to learn how to make this coconut curry hummus recipe.Source
