Happy Monday!! I made this dish last week and it will definitely be on repeat. I am going to keep this short and sweet because Chapman is about to wake up from her nap and I have been trying to get this recipe posted for dayyyssss. I wasn’t quite sure how this was going to turn out because I was playing around with portioning out the flavoring, but it was delicious!! I did rely on my mom hack and used the frozen cubes of minced garlic, ginger and basil– THEY SAVE SO MUCH TIME!! If you follow me on instagram you know I recently found them at another grocery store other than trader joe’s, so look in the freezer section at your local store. Those little cubes are life changing in the kitchen!! I also tried to be very mindful of the sodium added to this dish. Asian inspired recipes can come with a lot of sodium, which is usually why they are so addicting. But this recipe is seriously delicious without all the excessive salt. Take a look…

Mediterranean Turkey Meatball Pasta Salad
It has been a crazy last 4 weeks! You know, becoming a mom and trying to keep a tiny human alive and all đŸ™‚ It has also been a big adjustment trying to figure out how to get in the kitchen to cook when trying to love on and take care of our new bundle of joy. But because cooking is my “me” time, and even though I now have to do it in stages (and over days sometimes), I find a way to make it happen. I’m not cooking as much as I had envisioned, but as long as I create one good meal every few days I think that’s a win! Take a look at this delicious dish…
Lemon Farro Salad
Summer is the perfect time for easy, chilled salads! Daniel and I are trying to save money and eat in as much as possible, so I have been trying to throw things together that are in our pantry and need to be used. I am always looking for ways to change up our meals, whether it be the protein, the veggies, the seasoning or the starch. I bought this farro a few weeks ago thinking it would be a great way to try something fun since I don’t use it often. It did not disappoint! I tossed together this salad and served it chilled. I also used lemon white balsamic which added some great flavor– definitely worth trying! I love a chilled salad with a hot protein. So I topped it with some homemade turkey meatballs, which turned it into a great meal! Take a look…
