Our Best and Worst Posts of 2020

okay, we're almost one full month into 2022 and if you set an intention of cooking more healthy meals at home and you're running out of ideas or just simply already burnt out (I've been there!), I'm here to save your day with these AIR FRYER SALMON TZATZIKI BOWLS with LEMONY KALE and @seedsofchange! #SeedsofChangePartner

sounds kinda fancy, but with a couple convenience items like @seedsofchange, you can have a nutritious, filling, and flavorful meal in literally 20 minutes.

I love @seedsofchange's rice pouches, because they're organic, come in a variety of flavors so they inspire me to cook differently, and they're a social mission-driven company, planting seeds through school growing programs around the country!

we LOVE the Quinoa & Brown Rice with Garlic pouch- it has a great texture from the blend of rice and quinoa and just enough garlic and seasoning to make it more exciting than just some steamed rice.

Air Fryer Tzatziki Salmon Bowls with Lemony Kale
Serves: 4

Ingredients
4 salmon pieces (3oz each)
salt and pepper
4 cups finely chopped curly kale
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1/3 cup pitted and sliced Kalamata olives
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
½ cup sliced cucumbers
2 @seedsofchange Quinoa and Brown Rice with Garlic pouches
tzatziki, to serve (about ½ cup)

Directions
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees. Season salmon with salt and pepper. Spritz the air fryer basket with cooking spray and add the salmon. Cook for 12 minutes or until salmon is cooked to your preference.

Meanwhile, prepare the bowls. Place the kale into a large bowl, drizzle with the olive oil and massage with your hands for 1-2 minutes until wilted and softened, then add lemon juice and salt and pepper. Divide the kale, quinoa, tomatoes, Kalamata olives, feta, and cucumbers evenly among 4 bowls.

Once the salmon is done, prepare the @seedsofchange rice per package instructions (90 seconds in the microwave.) Divide the rice among the bowls and top each prepared bowl with the finished salmon and a couple tablespoons each with tzatziki. Serve. #BeASeedofChange ...

first recipe of 2022 is up on the blog and it's this cozy FARRO MINESTRONE with KALE and PESTO! ⁣👏🏼🥣

minestrone brings me back to my childhood. 👧🏻 my mom nursed all my illnesses with minestrone and my grandmother still makes pasta fagioli for me (now one of my husband's favorites from her!) minestrone is a vegetable soup typically made with a rice or pasta, but here, we're using farro - it's nuttier, a sexier ancient grain, and it makes for a heartier soup.⁣ 🙏🏼
⁣
there's kale for a winter vibe, cannellini beans for more protein, and a dollop of pesto on top for a powerful finish. 🥬 seriously, this soup will become your winter fav - and it saves well for meal prep! you can amp it up by adding some crumbled sausage or swap the pesto for shaved Parmesan and basil. make this soup your own and make sure to share when you do! ⁣
