Welcome back to one of my favorite topics to talk about, FOOD! I am such a foodie if you all haven’t noticed by now. I love finding new fresh recipes to share with you guys, putting funky twists on existing recipes, and hearing feedback on what y’all want to see! Recipes are always fun for me to blog about and share with you guys because they look different throughout our beautiful seasons of the year. I love playing with classics or guilt foods and recreating them in a healthier way.
For example, in the summer I usually crave fresh healthier foods. I crave savory and salty foods. Anything grilled. Full of veggies. Full of fresh seasonal fruits. You get the picture! Honestly, so different from what I crave in the winter time.
