    Vegan Chinese Chicken Salad

    Oh boy, I think I just created a new weekly staple. This Healthy Vegan Chinese Chicken Salad will not only leave you completely satisfied but it will have your taste buds jumping for joy! There are so many different flavors and textures. There is a little peppery flavor, some sweet heat, tons of different fresh herbs, toasted oils and nuts, and a touch of salt all combined with the fresh crunchy flavorful cabbage, carrots, and greens.

    This recipe not only tastes delicious but is easy to make - takes only 15-20 minutes max - and requires not cooking. I love Tofurkey's vegan oven roasted "chicken" that my local health food stores sells. The texture is like chicken but the flavor is better, the ingredients are pretty clean and there's a ton of protein. I added this to the salad for extra protein and to minic the traditional recipe.

    This Salad is filling and would be a great pot luck dish.

    Fresh & Tangy, this Chinese Chicken Salad will knock your socks off and have you coming back for seconds! It's a perfect New Year's Resolution Detox meal! enjoy this delicious Recipe.

    Also, I have so many friends on a detox right now after the indulgent holiday! If that's the case for you as well, you definitely need to make this Chinese "Chicken" Salad recipe! It is guilt-free, high in fiber, high in protein and healthy fats but also abundant in antioxidant rich veggies. The dressing combines fresh ginger, lemon and garlic (great for cold prevention) with almond butter and toasted sesame oil. What are you waiting for - grab these ingredients while you're at the store and make this salad - you'll be so happy you listened to me! (wink)

    The salad dressing makes this dish come alive. Simply pour on dressing and slather all the fresh vegetables. Toss over and over until salad is nice and creamy. Garnish with toasted almonds or peanuts and more fresh herbs or scallions. One of my favorite salad garnishes is toasted sesame seeds.

    What a fun collaboration with @veggiesdontbite a few weeks ago. We teamed up (in person) to create a bloody Maria recipe. It’s truly our own unique fun take on the traditional Bloody Mary. I’m not a huge fan of hard alcohol but I can do some tequila. And one cool thing about this recipe is you don’t need any alcohol. It’s THAT GOOD! And you really won’t miss it. Thanks for a fun day @veggiesdontbite link in my bio for full recipe on the blog right now.

    A healthy diet is so key to many aspects of our lives. Diet plays a huge role in disease gene deregulation, it requires less time at the gym with a trainer (more energy, less extra weight, & better recovery), diet helps with brain fog making us feel more clear headed, stronger teeth and better smelling breath is a great side effect, your skin care routine will thank you as well (more hydrated, less blemishes)! 
Because you feel so energetic, clear headed and strong, you end up with more confidence, self love and therefor self respect. This snowballs into less self sabotage and more self control! 
There are so many reasons why putting the time and energy into cleaning up your diet PAYS OFF!

    I want to introduce you to a term I coined this ye
    I want to introduce you to a term I coined this year. I was trying so hard for so long to describe a way of cooking that is from the soul, tapping into a skill we all have deep down but often don’t recognize or trust in: Intuitive Cooking. Not intuitive eating, but intuitive cooking! It's a type of cooking that comes from within! Not looking outside yourself but looking within; knowing and trusting yourself. Using flavors, ingredients, fruits/vegetables, and spices you love, and then applying all the cooking knowledge you have from your years of eating breakfast lunch, and dinner. Having fun in the kitchen. Seeing cooking as an art. 
So often we give our power away to recipes or people called experts. You know - those chefs or bloggers that seem “better at cooking” than you are. 
So often we assume others must know more than we do. And this diminishes our own trust in our abilities.  But I’m gonna tell you a secret: you are a creator in the kitchen with artistic abilities you have yet to discover or acknowledge. Trust yourself; and you’ve taken your first step towards better health and taking your power back. 
This right here is what I call the fridge dump dinner. I took whatever I had leftover in the fridge and made a nutritious meal from it. Read more on my blog: link to blog article in my bio.
