That Salad Lady

One of the biggest misconceptions about healthy eating is that it has to be complicated.

It doesn't.

Most nights, I'm not creating elaborate recipes or spending hours in the kitchen. I'm taking ingredients I enjoy, combining them in a way that feels satisfying, and moving on with my evening.

That's why I love bowls like this one.

Inspired by my Kale Caesar from The Build Your Bowl Salad Cookbook, it's a reminder that the meals we come back to most often are usually the simplest.

And on a busy Monday night, simple is more than enough 🥗

Memorial Day weekend is officially here 😊

For most of us, that means good food, good company, and a table full of favorites.

And it should.

But what I’ve learned over time is this—balance isn’t about choosing between what you love and what supports you. It’s about making space for both.

This Watermelon & Roasted Beet Salad is one of those bowls that just fits—fresh, vibrant, a little unexpected, and perfect alongside everything else on your plate 🍉

It’s from The Build Your Bowl Salad Cookbook, but more than anything, it’s a reminder:

You don’t have to overhaul your weekend. You don’t have to miss out. Just build around it.

That’s where the shift happens 🥗�

May is National Burger Month and National Salad Month 🍔🥗

So instead of choosing one over the other, I built both.

All the flavors of a classic burger, just layered into a bowl that actually supports you.

Because it doesn’t have to be all or nothing.

You can still enjoy what you love and build it in a way that works for you ❤️

I’ve been a little quiet this past week, and for good reason ❤️

Between celebrating this moment right here, welcoming family and friends, and still showing up for my kindergartner, I was completely full…in the best way.

And honestly, a little worn out too.

Sometimes life asks you to pause, and be fully present.

But this?

This was worth every bit of it.

So proud of you Ramsey 🎓

Mediterranean Greek Salad with Quinoa and Roasted Chickpeas 🥗

Simple, fresh, and built to work in real life.

This is one of those bowls that checks all the boxes—color, texture, flavor, and something you can actually come back to without getting bored.

Nothing complicated. Just a solid base, balanced ingredients, and a combination that works.

This is what I mean when I say: build something you’ll actually eat ❤️
