Another day, another salad... And I’m about to d Another day, another salad... And I’m about to dive head first into this CHOPPED APPLE & MANDARIN SALAD with CREAMY POPPY SEED DRESSING!😍 [Ad]
.
Does anyone else love making their own salad dressings? Because SAME. HERE!🙋🏼‍♀️ (It actually feels a little weird whenever I use store bought dressing now...😳) But I just love that I can tailor them to fit my taste buds & use better for you ingredients too. Just like this easy poppy seed dressing!🤗 It’s protein packed with Greek yogurt & helps support a healthy immune system with a good dose of apple cider vinegar. Not to mention it’s absolutely delicious on this fresh & fruity salad too!😉 (Side note: @sprouts is the only place I get my ACV because they have the best pricing for all organic vinegars.) So pop on over to your local @sprouts & pick up all these ingredients ASAP!

Hope you’re having a great Tuesday loves!😊💕

Creamy, cheesy & made with minimal ingredients too?? It doesn’t get much better than that in my book by loves! (And the fact that it only takes 10ish minutes to make too is just icing on the cake.😉) Bring on all that cheesy goodness please!😍
.
Hope you’re all having a fantastic Monday!😊💕

One Pot Broccoli Mac & Cheese🧀
2 cups dry rotini pasta (use gluten free if needed)
2 cups almond milk (or your favorite milk)
1 cup water
1 cup broccoli, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp ground mustard
3/4 tsp salt
Black pepper, to taste
.
1. Pour the milk, water, pasta & salt into a large pot & bring it to a boil. Boil the pasta for 8-10 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated.
2. Then add your broccoli & boil for an additional 2 minutes. (The broccoli will give off a lot of water so make sure there is very little water in the pot before adding your broccoli.)
3. Once the broccoli is cooked, add your cheese, ground mustard & pepper & stir until the cheese has melted. Serve immediately!
