Simply Sautéed Mushrooms This is one of my favorite dishes! I make this at least once a week. It's delicious straight from the skillet or chilled on a salad!

Kiddo’s Quinoa Salad Our addiction to quinoa, all started when a friend challenged me to make quinoa taste good. She was convinced that quinoa was just a "glorified dirt".

Truth: I didn't always eat clean...I wasn't always the Clean Eating Gluten Free Foodie. In fact that is what CAUSED my weight gain...bad diet and binging late at night. Ugh!
