Taco Salad

If you're new here, let me tell you something that you might find surprising about me: I HATE SALADS!😝 Okay, hate might be a strong word - but I avoid making them for myself at all costs.

So I think I could stomach eating this taco salad and have it count as my salad quota for the next 6 months. 😂 Ingredients: 2 tsp. olive oil 1 lb. raw 93%

Spaghetti Squash with Tomatoes and Mushrooms

There is something so perfect about tomatoes and mushrooms and fresh herbs in a Summer spaghetti dish. 💖 I mean seriously perfect.

But the shaved cheese and colorful presentation screams fine dining to me - and so do my taste buds! 🤤 Ingredients: 1 medium spaghetti s
