Kale with Liquid Aminos
This dressing has a weird ingredient called Bragg’s liquid aminos. Even after reading about it I’m still not entirely sure what it is. From what I can tell it’s a gluten-free soy sauce replacement with no added salt. If you’re … Continue reading
Mexican Inspired
Back to posting….We’re getting good at making up our own salads. I can just whip one up now on the fly for dinner with things I have in the fridge/cupboard. It’s funny, we joke about how we all have half … Continue reading
Jicama Herb Salad in Lemon Vinaigrette
