I’m about to let you in on a delicious discovery. Are you ready?

Pure deliciousness.
While it might not seem like the most natural flavor combination, I assure you it’s delicious! And stop scrunching your noes — I’m sure the person who invented the PB and banana combo got similar responses. But I didn’t “INVENT” this combination. per se. I did, however, create the PERFECT recipe. You’ve got to try it. Why? Because it will make you fall in love with me, and love is always a very good thing 
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 avocados (pitted and peeled and cut into small chunks – about 1/2 inch)
- 1-2 lbs. watermelon (seeded and cut into small/med chunks – about 1 inch)
- 2 limes, juiced
- 1/2 red onion (peeled and sliced thin)
- 1 Tbs extra-virgin olive oil – do not leave this out!
- 1/2 bunch cilantro (chopped) - make sure you use fresh herbs, it makes ALL the difference
- kosher salt and pepper, to taste
Basically, throw everything into a bowl and toss lightly. Be gentle! It will still taste delish if you mix it too hard, but it won’t look nearly as pretty.
Doesn’t that look lovely?
If you want a bit more substance, lay scoops of this on top of a bed of spinach and sprinkle some feta cheese on top!
Your turn! What is your favorite summer salad?
Happy Monday!
For those of you who don’t link complicated weeknight dinners, I have the perfect recipe for you!
Only 6 ingredients and incredibly delish.
You’ll need:
- 1 can chickpeas/garbanzo beans (drained)
- 1 can roasted chopped tomatoes
- 3 cloves or garlic (mined)
- 1 chicken breast
- 1 flat out wrap
- Healthy helping of feta cheese
Add can of garbanzos and tomatoes into a sauté pan. Let simmer about 10 minutes. Add minced garlic and stir. Simmer 3-5 more minutes. In the meantime, roast a chicken breast in the broiler, 4 minutes each side.
Remove pan from heat. Take cooked chicken out of the broiler and cut into chunks. Add and mix into bean and tomato mixture.
Using a slotted spoon, place desired amount onto a flatout (or similar) wrap.
Add feta cheese. Don’t be shy, either. I consider this the best part.
Now fold it up, close your eyes and bite into bliss. Imagine yourself barefoot, roaming skipping (skipping is always more fun, would you agree?) the beaches of Greece. If you really wanna get crazy find a sheet and make yourself a toga – it really helps set the mood. Not that I would know anything about that…
Now, how many of you attended a toga party in college? Any fun stories to share?
I have a new obsession.
SKEWERS! Because what else screams FUN like a widdled piece of wood?!
In all seriousness, though, skewers are a great way to serve up veggies, meats, FRUITS, etc!
Last night I grilled up some Italian marinated chicken, pepper and onion skewers. Knowing that I’d need a bit more to munch on, I made some of my tasty mushrooms and sugar snap peas.
Both did not disappoint!
With grilling season kicking into high gear, expect to see a lot more skewers from me! I’m most excited for PINEAPPLE — wouldn’t that make a wonderful sweet ending – perhaps paired with some cold ice cream?! YUMMMMM!
What is your favorite thing to skew?
