Have you ever been at a restaurant and ordered what they deemed to be a “salad” but turned out to be a few pieces of limp lettuce, tomato and if you were lucky ONE slice of cucumber? Yeh - I’m not about that. Life is too short for boring salads!

It’s certainly got a bit of everything and is great for feeding a crowd. This is my version of supreme pizza and it’s on the menu almost every week in our house.

Bang Bang Sauce is sweet, spicy and creamy dipping sauce. It’s served in some restaurants, including Bonefish Grill, but it is super easy to make at home. I’d suggest this sauce is a “copycat” of the Bonefish Grill sauce but truth be told I’ve never tried it! But if you have I’ll let you be the judge.

Chia puddings had a moment a few years back and then kind of fizzled away. I must admit I wasn’t a huge fan of the trend, mostly because I found plain chia puddings really boring. But these chocolate chia puddings were my only exception. They are damn delicious. When it comes to these puddings, it’s all about the toppings. I’ve put a huge list of suggestions below but I highly recommend strawberry and banana slices with some dark chocolate chunks and coconut sprinkled over....
