Super Fresh

I love lunches like this.

Everything is fresh and flavorful and so full of color!

My big salad today (gettin’ in those veggies!) is full of:

  • romaine
  • spinach
  • cilantro
  • red onion
  • 1.5 homemade bean burgers
  • 1/2 avocado, diced
  • squirt of lime juice + salt for “dressing”

I’m pretty sure I’d eat any salad as long as it had avocado + red onion. They’re such a great combination.

I also think someone should make onion rings with RED onions – could you imagine? I think they’d be the best.

Even as good as my salad is, I’m really excited for my other part of lunch.

Homemade yogurt! With banana, cinnamon, and a little squirt of agave.

I’m about to try it, so I’ll definitely have a review later with the recipe I used. I feel like such a hippie, but I love it. Who ever guessed I would be making my own yogurt when I couldn’t cook anything that wasn’t in a box until 6 years ago?

 

What’s the most fun or enjoyable recipe / food you’ve made at home?

  9. I’ve never tried homemade yogurt, but your success with it makes me want a yogurt maker now!! I love big salads for lunch, and i have to say, your lunch “chaser” is almost better than lunch itself. :P

  15. I love the muffins I’ve made recently. They make great breakfasts.

  16. I’m still so nervous about the “make my own yogurt” thing–hopefully you can shed some light on it! I’m intrigued.

  17. They do make onion rings with red onions!
    Hit up the Red Raven restaurant in Williams, Arizona.
