Shredded Kale Apple Salad

This is my favorite easy kale salad! It's brimming with freshness and has a vibrant, sweet and tangy vinaigrette dressing that perfectly highlights it.

And can we appreciate the fact that it doesn't wilt within minutes of adding the dressing like other salads may start to? Which makes it a great option for a dinner party or cookout.

It compliments so many meals and uses ingredients that you can easily get year round.

For a quick and simple dinner or lunch you can serve it as a side paired with a basic protein such as grilled chicken or salmon.

It's a healthy salad recipe you'll want to make on repeat. A delicious kale crunch salad with the best blend of flavors!

Potato Soup with Kielbasa Sausage and White Cheddar

Life seems kind of drab and boring now that the joy and ambience of Christmas is over but at least we've got warming, tasty soups for these chilly days! And here's yet another one to add to that long list of soups in the dinner rotation.

Can you believe how many soups I've shared? Here's a collection of my soup recipes but since then I'm sure we could add 20+ more to that list.

Because you just can't have too many soup recipes.

Especially when they are as good as this Potato Kielbasa Soup!

If you'd like you could use turkey kielbasa here, I used the beef and pork sausage but next time I think I'll go with turkey just so it's a little lighter.

Plus we are headed into the new year and I'll only eat healthy. Ha! I'm totally kidding, that would also mean I'd have to skip the cheese and butter here, right :)?

If there is one of my soup recipes that you must try this Fall, please let this be it! This soup is equally as delicious, if not better, than broccoli cheese soup. I wouldn't have thought it would be as good because cauliflower seems quite bland, but when you roast it in a blazing hot oven, it takes it to a whole new level.

Roasted Cauliflower White Cheddar Soup

The cauliflower florets seem to caramelize on the edges and bring a light sweetness to the soup. It was hard for me not to eat all of the roasted cauliflower before adding it to the soup, I love the stuff! I might try adding other vegetables, like carrots or potatoes, to make this a more healthy vegetable soup. (I recommend you blend it with an immersion blender after the simmer stage if you prefer a smoother texture.)
