{the perfect fall salad with Cobram Estate}

Posted in Cooking, Food, foodie, Healthy, Kitchen, Recipe, Trader Joes by

This Perfect Fall Salad is tossed with a tangy honey mustard dressing. Add fresh mixed greens, crunchy honeycrisp apple slices, creamy feta cheese and crispy, salty prosciutto. Then you get that perfectly sweet kick from the candied pecans! It’s DELICIOUS!

Who loves to make their own salad dressing? Drop the salad emoji in the comments section on the blog post + Instagram reel or facebook and I will randomly select one of you to send a bottle of Local Cobram Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil so you can make your very own Perfect Fall Salad!

So, I randomly called TJ’s yesterday to see when they’d get their first shipment of pumpkins. When I heard, “they just got here” my heart skipped a beat. ha. For reals though. It’s been a hard week. Short weeks always rock my damn world. Just less days to cram the same amount of work.

I pulled up to pallets full of Cinderella pumpkins. Warty pumpkins. Tiny pumpkins. It truly made my whole day. Is that sad? Anyway, I took a stroll up and down every aisle picking up any of the fall new arrivals I could find. Since I LOVE seeing what everyone gets from TJ’s and what they’re going to make with the items, I thought fuck it – I will too 🙂 Hope it brings you some joy too. Or maybe I’m the only creep that feels pure happiness from a good Trader Joe’s haul? ha!!!

{air fryer bbq salmon}

Posted in Cooking, Food, foodie, Healthy, Recipe, Trader Joes by

I have to be honest – I haven’t LOVED being in the kitchen lately. It used to be my thang!

A big glass of wine, music playing, cooking away in the kitchen. Kinda my way of winding down at the end of the day. I guess it ebbs and flows? Maybe I’m more of a summery kitchen lover? We’ll see….fingers crossed for my peeps. Ha!

Anyway, I saw TheBuyGuide on instagram do an air fryer salmon the other day. And the finished product looked so damn good. I had to try it out. Obvi putting my spin on it. Tried it out last night. Annndddd…
