The best thing about summer is loads of fresh produce, either from your garden, farmers market or even from your grocery store. I know that we have fresh produce, literally all year round, but we know what’s in season and what’s not. So, if read more
Salads, salads, and more salads… Summer is coming shortly, so I thought to share one my absolute favorite summer salads. This salad appeared on my blog many times, but always as a side. I’ve never blogged about it. I think it deserves its own, individual read more
Indeed, even on the darkest days, this delicious platter of Massaged Kale and Strawberry Salad could make you grin with a joy.
I had incredible few days with my girls. Three or four hours passed by like it was 20 minutes, but that’s always the feeling when I am with my awesome girlfriends.
Well, we like walking around the neighborhood, coffee time, breakfast, chuckling.
Honestly, that makes me happy. More often than not, we talk about what we will make for lunch, or that is my thing.
I assume in light of the fact that I generally begin that discussion.
Since I talk about things that make me happy at the moment, I often sit in my yard and think about pretty much everything.
I came to the conclusion that life is simple, but we make it so complicated sometimes, well, most of the time.
My oldest son would say just about now: “No dip, Sherlock.”
Small things do fulfill me, satisfy me, make me happy. On the other hand, to better clarify regardless of the fact that it’s cliché somehow.
Nonetheless, the fact is that I am simple person. Even those little things are acknowledged, appreciated more than you would suspect.
I am thankful for anything great that comes my way. I cry even when I am happy, but, of course, those are always tears of joy.
A few days ago, my 9 years old returned home from school, parked his tush on the sofa, turn on his Gameboy while waiting for me to fix him quick after-school snack.
All of the sudden I heard a melody that I haven’t heard in quite a while. I was shocked that he even knows the song, let alone the lyrics.
Without interrupting, I let him sing it. “What’s up” song by 4 Non-Blondes came out in ’93, or that is the year when it became huge.
I still remember it like it was yesterday singing every day when it came on MTV.
“And I say, hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah… I said hey, what’s going on?”
That made me smile, smile big…
Delightful sounds of music could fill your heart with joy, much the same as this delicious plate dependably fill my heart with joy.
Makes my day somewhat brighter, somewhat more content, a little happier even when I am feeling blue, or down.
The taste is astounding, since kale is a solid dull green vegetable, and strawberries adjust that exceptionally well in your gut.
I included a modest amount of organic cashews for additional crunch and nutrition, seasoned with sea salt, and massaged kale in this divine and simple homemade vinaigrette.
I hope you like it as much as I did. It is probably one of my top 5 favorite salads ever.

Sitting in my living room, and sipping on my first cup of freshly brewed coffee one early morning, I had cravings for roasted cauliflower
It is nothing unusual for my cravings to start working early. Even though I am genuinely a poor breakfast eater. Coffee and maybe a pastry that is about it for me on the most mornings. However, that morning was different. I was craving this. My thoughts were running wild.
Building a recipe fast and furious in my head before lunchtime starts. What could I combine it with? Of course, the roasted chicken came to mind. Which
The simplicity of this dish is absolutely amazing, but the complex combination that brings you sour with a hint of spiciness, along with savory smooth taste
Did you know that you can make an amazing pasta dish just by combining guacamole and pasta, adding shrimp or chicken to the mix is another level of deliciousness?! Recipe: Spaghetti in Avocado Sauce and Shrimps If you like more char look on your cauliflower, let it cook/roast for up to 45 minutes.

Spicy Tuna Salad is an easy and tasty way to enjoy a healthy and delicious meal any time. I love eating those ones wrapped in warm delicious flat pita bread.
When I looked through my kitchen window this morning as coffee was dripping down in my mug, I thought it’s going to rain.
Gray clouds surrender the sky and it was rather dark but pretty enjoyable to just sit and look at the birds flying around and making beautiful noises.
I usually go outside with my cup of Joe and it was a comfortable and very peaceful morning, even with only a few hours of sleep that I had.
The smell and taste of coffee and morning crisp air always wake me up and give me that feeling of calmness; I connect with my thoughts, plan my day, go over the schedule and write down some things that are on my mind.
I love to write even though I am not very good at it, but I try. It is almost the same as if you give me a microphone and I start to sing! Then the sun just came out…out of nowhere! Le sigh! I wanted rain!!!
It was kind of day made for rain. If you didn’t notice before I really love rainy days! I love just to listen and relax while it’s pouring outside, Yiruma radio on Pandora is usually in the background, a book in my hands, and of course, coffee or a cup of tea is right next to me. I would say that is my perfect morning or evening.
When I have a really crazy busy day I make this Tuna salad. It is a quick fix, and my kiddos like it, at least my oldest two.
Do I really call it a recipe? Well, nah! But, today, I will call it “the crazy easy short-cut meal”…we all do it, right? Precooked chicken? Takeouts? Leftovers?
Whatever saves me, time man, I am all over it! From time to time I add some cooked beans to it… a very good combo with tuna.
What is your #1 short-cut meal? I would really love to know…
If you make this please tag me on Instagram @sandraseasycooking so I can check out and share your delicious creations. Thank you so much for all your support.
Spicy Tuna Salad IS A PERFECT LUNCH!
Place Tuna in the bowl and mix with relish, avocado mayo, sriracha, and lemon juice. Mix well and taste to see if salt is needed.
Add Sesame Ginger Vinaigrette on top of the Asian Coleslaw and toss it to coat it. Add as much as you wish to please your taste,.
Preheat for about 10-second pita bread. Place tuna salad in the bread, add Asian Coleslaw on top. you may wrap it in the Low carb tortillas of Lettuce Wraps.You may add other toppings if desired.
I love tuna, and I love to dress it up especially with what I just wrote in the ingredient list. One of my personal favorites is from Starkist tuna from a pouch.
Now you have so many options and you can already get spicy, or lemon-flavored tuna, etc. but to tell you honestly I like it plain and I add what I like.
