Today's lunch is special because when it was time to eat, I got to go out and pick my first round of Bibb Lettuce from our little city garden!
I washed the greens and added:
2 strawberries,
4 cherries,
1 diced slice of red onion,
s&p,
1/4 avocado and this
AMAZING lavender-infused balsamic vinegar that a friend gifted to me as an early birthday present. I had a little side car of cottage cheese for some protein…Lunch is served! I love summer.
One Mama's take on staying fit, eating well, taking care of the family and just makin' it work!

It's #grilleverything season! The simplest Shrimp Tacos EVER.
We are getting into the season that nearly every dinner at our house will be prepared on the grill. I don't want the oven on. I don't want to be inside more than we have to be. I want yummy food thats simple and healthy! The grill is the best.
We don't limit our grill to burgers and pork chops either (although we do plenty of that too! Stay tuned for my spicy pork and cherry skewer recipe coming soon!). We do the whole meal on the grill. Roasted potatoes. Grilled vegetables. Mushroom caps. You Name It. We grill it.
Now we loooove Taco Night at our house and Tacos are a perfect match for the grill. This recipe for shrimp tacos is seriously the simplest recipe you'll find. I seasoned some shrimp with my Salt Free Southwest Seasoning (that I keep in the pantry at all times), a couple twists of sea salt (I try to keep the salt separate when seasoning to know just how much I'm adding), and…thats it. (I did spray them with some light cooking oil so they wouldn't stick to the grill.)
I also cut up a red onion and green pepper, added a pinch of the same southwest seasoning and 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil. A quick toss and put the veggies in a foil pouch to steam on the grill.
Finally I sprayed a few corn tortillas with cooking spray, and those went on the grill as well.
Top these bad boys off with whatever taco dressings you love. We are partial to avocados, salsa, plain greek yogurt, and when we can, fresh cilantro straight from the garden. Ahhhhh…. Summer, I love you.
