Toasted Baguette Slices

This is a great recipe because of its versatility. It makes a great foundation for homemade spreads, cheese dips, bruschetta, or to dip in some fresh soup. If you happen to have leftovers like I did, or just make a little extra, it is great chopped up and used as croutons to your favorite salads.

Today, I chose to make this recipe as a way to try out a new-to-me product from Trader Joes - Red Pepper spread with Eggplant and Garlic.

Party Spicy Salsa Guacamole Dip - A warm or cool treat!

So this dip is not an average guacamole recipe, as it incorporates salsa!! Its a great dip for parties, or just a snack! I love to make it as a way for me to get some healthy fats, some veggies from the salsa, and a salty fix!

This recipe incorporates 2 recipes, one for salsa and one for the spicy guacamole! If spicy isn't your favorite, you can definitely omit the spicy ingredients .

If you have never had warm guacamole, it really is a delicious treat. It reminds me of a warm spinach artichoke dip with the creaminess. But if warm guacamole isn't your thing, try the recipe out cold! I like it that way as well!

From Frozen: Steak and Rice Stir Fry

This is a great recipe, and is one that I make many variations on for lunch. It's a really balanced meal, with green veggies, protein and a healthy grain. One of the reasons that I make it so often is how easy it is to make!!

This recipe makes 2 generous portions, and is easily doubled to accommodate more eaters.

This is another "From Frozen" recipe, and doesn't take much time to make at all! It is also a great dish to bring to-go for work, school, or to have ready-made in the fridge.

From Frozen: Chicken and Kale Green Veggie Stir Fry

My first recipe is one that I make often for my boyfriend, who is a very health conscious eater. He will actually eat this entire recipe after a day of working out, or just a long day. Normally this recipe would be enough for two people, and I would serve it with a side of brown rice for a carbohydrate.
