Let's make some quick pickled onions!
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup hot water
1/4 cup raw apple cider vinegar
1 Tbs raw honey
1 tsp salt
Mix everything together in a mason jar and let it sit on the counter for about an hour. Store in the fridge and enjoy on so many things! Salads, burgers, tacos, whatever you want!
Happy Cinco de Mayo!
I'm celebrating with one of these delicious margarita mocktails!
And hey--no judgement here if you want to add some tequila! 😉
If you've never tried Sulfurzyme, it's an AMAZING supplement for hair, skin, nails, joints, and more.
If you know me, you probably know my bread machine is one of my FAVORITE kitchen appliances! (Here’s the one I have: https://amzn.to/401LlXx)
I make homemade bread all the time, as well as other goodies! Here's a roundup of my most used + favorite recipes...
*I always add the vital wheat gluten because it seems to really make a difference with the rise!
*I used maple syrup in place of honey when my babies were under a year old, and we honestly couldn't taste the difference. 🥰

Pro Tip: I highly recommend weighing your ingredients (or at least the flour) when baking. I think it's so much easier, and it's for sure more accurate! The rule I follow is 5 oz = 1 cup of white flour and 4 oz = 1 cup of whole wheat flour.

OK, let's start with the dressing because it is so ridiculously EASY and SIMPLE!
Mix together equal parts:
- mayo (I highly suggest looking for a healthier mayo like Primal Kitchen avocado mayo)
- Dijon mustard (I love Organicville!)
- pure maple syrup
That's it!! So easy and SO GOOD!! For one big single-serving salad, I like to use one tablespoon of each. Adjust as needed.
Next, let's talk about what's in the salad. You can do what you want, but I'm here to share my current favorite combo, haha!
- arugula
- shredded purple cabbage
- sautéed shrimp (I like to sauté in either a little butter or avocado oil and freshly pressed garlic)
- Einkorn Crunch - sprinkle as much as you want on top! I usually do about a half of a little package. If you don't have this, chopped almonds are great to use also!
Please let me know if you try this! I'm obsessed and wanted to share the love! 😆
