Caesar Salad Dressing

Last weekend Adam's brother Ben was in town and he made us this dressing. I think I've had caesar salad almost every day since-- it's THAT good! In the picture to the right I added tempeh and avocado. If you don't want to lick your bowl by the end then you've done something wrong! 

Very finely mince 4 garlic cloves and 4 anchovy filets. Mix with 1/2 cup real mayo, 1/2 cup finely grated parmesan reggiano, and the juice from 2 lemons. (Please don't use the store bought kind). Salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with more cheese.

*Because there is no raw egg in this recipe, the dressing can keep for up to a week in the fridge.

Nutritious Bars

I've been so excited to wake up and eat new my favorite breakfast thanks to my friend Melinda who sent me these bars. Typically I stay away from buying any sort of bar because I know there are better ways feed my body (and my baby) but these are real ingredients which truly satisfy. The bars are made of almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, coconut, coconut oil, honey, and dried blueberries. The best news is you can order them!!! This is really awesome for us Texarkana folks :) They store in the fridge for 3 weeks and in the freezer for 3 months. Thank you Melinda for another great find!
