I love salads, especially this Cucumber Radish Salad. I eat them every single day with my main meal or on its own.
That being said, I do not know if this ever happens to you, but I crave salads.
I literally crave a bowl of greens drizzled with vinaigrette.
We rarely use store-bought dressing, but if I use it, then most likely it is Ranch or Thousand Island dressing.
Well, sometimes I like to experiment and get something else. However, I always come back to the homemade vinaigrette- lemon, olive oil, herbs and a dash of salt to taste.
I really hope you guys like this one, because I just love fresh and refreshing salads like this.
In addition, summer season is around the corner and this will just make your body ready for the beach.
I know, just a mention of the beach makes me cringe. This past week I hit the first goal regarding my fitness journey.
I understand that some of you walk even more, or run, but for me, this was a goal that I was looking forward to finally accomplish.
Small steps, small goals until you are ready to set a bigger one. So, I hit 100K steps in a week. I was so freaking happy!
I decided to be on that goal for this week as well, and slowly increase it in April.
While I am talking about the fitness journey let me say that I have been on 4 days water fast and that was one amazing experience. I felt like I got that body RESET what I was looking forward to.
In those 4 days, I have lost 11 pounds, which was remarkable.
I only had water and hot tea to help with hunger cramps, but other than that I felt fantastic.
Also, I decided to do that one time a month and just cleanse, and detox my body and connect with myself just a bit more. Since doing Keto my life changed.
I did for 6 months then slowly started every other day introducing other foods such as fruit and vegetables. I realized that dairy milk does not agree with.
Also, I do not use regular sugar at all. I do not eat potatoes every day, peas or bananas but on days when I crave it.
We eat salads, like this Cucumber Radish Salad, and all kinds of other foods in moderation.
You would think that I consume it daily but I do not simple beause I crave vegetables too.
Regarding pasta, I try to eat gluten free also on days when I crave it. It is not on regular bases so I do not deprive myself. I walk daily si those burn pretty soon.
Tell me your journey… weight-loss story? What do you do to keep yourself in shape? Do you wish to start the weight-loss journey just to feel better?
Do you need motivation, healthy recipes or perhaps guidance on how to start, and what to do?
Well, I would love to help. please leave a comment and let’s talk about it. It can be totally ANONYMOUS.
Let me just be clear here for a second, I am not a skinny girl I never was and I never will be.
See, I do have curves that I finally love and appreciate. To be honest, I am healthy, I feel great and have a balance in my life.
I feel so much better when I am eating clean at least four times a week. However, at the same time, I like eating other foods sometimes.
Well, I love food, and I love cooking as you can tell. I try to exercise 5 days a week, to keep myself in the healthy weight and I actually feel fantastic.
Anyhow, please let me know if you want any recipes (made easy) that will support your diet, or clean up your diet, some guidance what to do and how to start weight loss journey, etc.
Let us just talk about it and motivate each other. It does not matter how old you are; we can always inspire and motivate one another, right?
I am not an expert at all, but I am a woman who went through so many ups and downs and I know what works for me.
That being said, without taking a step forward, moving my butt, and finding food that is working for my body I would not lose even one pound. In fact, I would gain weight.
It is a reality and that is the truth. There is no magic pill, you guys… Please, share with me!

I love salads, and I eat them every single day with my main meal or on its own. I don’t know if this ever happens to you, but I crave salads and this one is definitely a winner.
You can use fennel, leeks or shallots with cucumber and radish. Perfect combo!
This Vinaigrette works for me personally, but you can add more or less to please your taste buds.
How to get most out of the lemon? Before slicing the lemon in half, roll the lemon on the countertop, applying a bit of pressure, then cut in half.
The combination of Meatless Meatballs with Cauliflower and Broccoli just fit together like peas and carrots in the pot pie. I just loved everything. I had my niece over for lunch, and she enjoyed it as well. So, these meatballs are obviously meatless. I do read more
Salads make such an amazing lunch or dinner. We all love quick and easy lunch like this. I do not like adding a bunch of stuff to my chicken salad so this is as easy as it gets. I love pickles so that is always read more
Lemon Herb Chicken and Veggies Sheet Pan are a simple and versatile meal. They are simply the best. I will show you two versions of sheet pan dinner.
When I have veggies that need to be used or I am leaving town for a few days, or maybe I just need a quick dinner, this type of meal is so welcoming.
I made Lemon-Herbs Chicken and Veggies Sheet Pan dinners and served it with noodles or rice. Sometimes I season the rice or noodles with soy sauce.
Many times before I used fish fillets for sheet pan, or pork, so you can really use whatever you have at this moment to make an amazing meal.
Everyone happy and I did not spend more than 10 minutes in my kitchen preparing this, I call that win-win situation.
I am showing you two similar sheet pans. Just by switching vegetables you can create an amazing dinner in no time.
This meal is absolutely amazing. You could eat this just like this especially if you’re on a low carb diet, or serve with cauliflower rice, or perhaps regular rice.
You could also serve this with roasted potatoes as well as noodles.
Just like one with asparagus, this one is an absolute delight. I love the texture and aroma of different veggies mixed with juices of lemon chicken.
My husband prefers this one the most so I make it as much as I can. I switch vegetables depending on the season, but other than that we just love sheet pans like this.

I would love to see your delicious creations and share them with my readers. Thanks!!!
These two sheet pan dinners are similar but different.
You can use chicken with skin on. If you are cooking in the oven I would use the broiler for a minute or two just get that skin extra crunchy. You can also wrap skinless chicken breast with the hickory-smoked bacon.
Any leftovers place in the container and keep it in the fridge for 3 days, or freeze it for up to a month. If you keep it more then 3 days it loses the tastiness fo me that is why I always recommend 3 days.
You can most definitely use other vegetables such as broccoli, mushrooms, tomatoes or cauliflower, just an example. For each adult, count on having about 4 to 5 ounces of cooked chicken. 10 ounces of uncooked boneless chicken breasts will yield approximately 6 1/2 ounces cooked, while 10 ounces of uncooked boneless chicken thighs will yield approximately 5 ounces cooked.
I cooked this sheet dinner on my Traeger grill/smoker. You can use the oven, it is the same method.
Check your Lemon-Pepper seasoning for the sodium. Mine did not have any sodium that is why I used salt to season the chicken, but if your seasoning contains sodium most likely you would not need to add any additional salt.
