    We have a big group coming this year-what a lifesaver this recipe is! We’ll try it! Quick question-I know butter is the best, but have recently gone dairy free. Cheating is okay for me like once a week, so I could use the butter and take one for the team, but I’m wondering-do you think margarine would be gross in this recipe? More specifically, a vegetable spread like Earth Balance?

      Hi Wendy, what a great question. I think Earth Balance would or another vegetable spread would definitely work really well with this recipe 🙂

Truth time: I’ve never really *loved* salads. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
UNTIL... I created THIS salad!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I could eat this salad every single day!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It also packs really well for lunches, I just put the salad in one container and toppings in another!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Plus, there’s candied pepitas (pumpkin seeds) and goat cheese and all sorts of awesome toppings and homemade salad dressing 🙌🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But, I gave it a not so great name so no one was finding it...so I’m re-sharing with an updated timeless name; salad with candied nuts and seeds

Want to hear the horrible thing that happened in m Want to hear the horrible thing that happened in my house this week? 🎻 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
First, I ran out of coffee beans 😳😩😢
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Then, as I was washing dishes late at night, my French press slipped through my hands and shattered 🙀😭😫
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I just kept repeating a German phrase my mom used to say “sherben bringen Glück” which means “shards bring luck” (it’s usually applied to like porcelain- which is why plates and mugs are thrown on the ground ahead of weddings... but my mom would apply it to glass/plates/whatever broke) 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So...I’m going to go ahead and make some sweet cream, bust out my old coffee machine until the new French press arrives <-because apparently now I’m someone who makes French press coffee every morning! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m going to drink my coffee and make my meal plan and shopping list for the week ahead (if you need some inspo the latest free meal plan and which has the ability to create a shooting list with the click of a button is live on the blog!
