It’s getting hot outside, especially in South Florida! You may already be craving cooling foods like salads and fresh fruit. Sweet strawberries and cooling cucumbers along with this minty fresh coconut milk dressing are sure to satisfy a sweet craving and cool you down all at once. Refreshing! I made the dressing with regular coconut milk but feel free to use light coconut milk.
Chickpeas are a favorite in my house, but they are not just for hummus. Chop up tangy dill pickles, fragrant fennel, and crunchy celery and you’ve got a new salad that eats like a meal.
Serve with brown rice cous cous or scoop up with flax crackers.

Some weeknights dinner needs to be ready in about 20 minutes. Here’s a simple chicken recipe that can be ready in a snap.
I knew chicken was on the menu so I took my Murray’s chicken breasts out of the freezer to thaw in the fridge all day. I cut up the chicken into strips for faster cooking time then tossed in olive oil, red wine vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and sea salt. I let the chicken marinade on the counter for about 10 minutes. I didn’t want to let it marinade in the fridge because it would be cold when I was ready to cook. If you have time to marinade for more than 30 minutes, I suggest covering the chicken and putting into the fridge. Read more →
