A Life in Food by real-life Chef Cheryl Bennett
This Mediterranean bowl recipe is full of healthy protein and fresh vegetables. A serving of quinoa adds extra protein to this heart-healthy Mediterranean lunch bowl.
This tasty Mediterranean protein bowl recipe is a spin on my chicken meal prep bowl with a bit of added protein from the quinoa and falafel. The flavors in this bowl are simple, but also so fresh and delicious. This has become one of our new favorite lunch recipes.

Butternut squash arugula salad topped with white beans and toasted pecans, then drizzled with maple vinaigrette. This is the perfect fall salad. Spicy arugula is studded with roasted butternut squash, creamy cannellini beans, crunchy pecans and sweet cranberries. This salad can easily be a meal on its own, or a healthy, filling side. Try it with my stuffed acorn squash for a fantastic fall dinner.
The combination of the vegetables and beans with a little sweet and a little crunch makes this a delicious salad any day of the week, but especially if you try to do a meatless meal once in awhile.

Happy Memorial Day! This week, I am focusing on my favorite summer salads. The weather is starting to get steamy and the last thing I want to do is heat up the house with the oven. This time of the year, we tend to eat quite a few salads for dinner. During the summer months, fresh fruits and vegetables are plentiful, so take advantage of it and fill your plate with Mother Nature’s bounty!

Welcome Back, friends! Our focus this week is salads. I don’t know about you, but just thinking about turning on the oven in the summer makes me sad. The air conditioning is already running 24/7 here and the thought of making it HOTTER in this house is unbearable. Besides the fact that I just spent the past 4 days eating All The Things in front of me, I could use a virtuous dinner.
