Grilled Greens Chicken Caesar Chopped Salad

If you love chopped meal salads this Grilled Greens Chicken Caesar Chopped Salad is for you! A healthy caesar salad made with grilled romaine, grilled chicken breast, sweet tomatoes, homemade croutons, and zesty Greek yogurt caesar dressing.  Happy July 4th weekend! I hope you are enjoying fun time with family and friends and spending some time outdoors. I wanted to stop in today to share one of my favorite ways to eat greens.... GRILLED!

To keep it simple, this Caesar dressing is made out of Greek yogurt and holds the anchovies. Just whisk together greek yogurt, lemon juice, ... View Post

I am that mom

By Kristina LaRue, RDN Leave a Comment

I have a confession to make. I am "that mom". That mom that enters her baby in a Facebook photo contest and asks you to vote today, tomorrow, and the next. That mom that feeds her baby food from organic squeeze pouches instead of making her own purees, because it's convenient and he feeds himself which gives me a few minutes of hands free time. That mom that turns on Mickey Mouse club house for her 8 month old because... read above. That mom that still doesn't sleep through the night because I refuse to let my baby scream it out. Even though my pre-mom self thought I would have my child on a strict schedule. That mom that cloth diapers to save money. That mom that takes 10201011 baby photos every day and sends them to her mom to gush ... View Post

Thank you to Naturally Fresh® Brand for sponsoring this post. It's Monday and who’s ready for the long weekend already? I’m so pumped July 4th falls on a Monday this year because it gives us extra time to spend with family, relaxing in the summer sun.

One of my favorite salads to serve up during grilling season at a cookout is the wedge salad. Cool iceberg lettuce with juicy sweet tomatoes, crispy bacon, creamy avocado, and blue cheese dressing.

This veggie meal is refreshing and satisfying, no heat required. Thanks to the Cherry Marketing Institute for sponsoring this post.   Summer is here, and it’s heating up all over the country. Florida temps have been in the mid to upper 90s lately. Timing would have it that I’m starting to get back into the swing of running and training for my first half marathon post-baby.

I’ve started training with girlfriends on Saturday mornings that love coffee as much as I do, so that’s ... View Post
