Sharing 9 different turmeric salad dressings to add to your rotation!

Hi friends! I hope you’re having a wonderful morning! I have a Spanish lesson today and am looking forward to a morning of coaching calls.

For today’s post, let’s chat about one of my favorite lunch options: a salad!

Salads are one of my go-to meals—light, refreshing, and packed with nutrients. They’re an easy and delicious way to load up on veggies, and they can be customized to suit any flavor profile you’re craving. But let’s be real: the magic of a salad often lies in the dressing. A good dressing can transform a basic bowl of greens into something truly crave-worthy, and that’s where turmeric salad dressing comes in.

Turmeric salad dressing is one of my top picks because it’s not just flavorful, but it’s also loaded with health benefits. Turmeric, the star ingredient, is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which can support everything from digestion to joint health. Paired with other nourishing ingredients like apple cider vinegar and olive oil, this dressing is as nutritious as it is tasty. Today, I’m excited to share some easy-to-make turmeric salad dressing recipes that will take your salads to the next level.

What’s your favorite salad dressing recipe?? I’d love to hear if you have a tried and true fave!

Sharing a recap of the best places to eat in Waikiki and why we love them so much!

Hi friends! Happy Monday! I hope you’re having a wonderful morning so far and that you enjoyed the weekend! It was a good one over here. Liv and I got to work on a voluteenr project together, I met up with a friend for brunch and took hoy yoga.

This is the first week that I feel like we’re finally back in the swing of things after our glorious trip to Hawaii straight into school starting. This week. the kids have a full week at school, I actually meal-prepped and grocery shopped, and my schedule is packed with podcast interviews and coaching calls.

For today’s post, I wanted to share a recap of our favorite places in Waikiki and why we love them so much! We also visited Waikiki a couple of years ago, so we were pumped to return to some favorites and also explore some new spots. I’ll have a post up next week with a recap of our time at Aulani, too!

The best restaurants in Waikiki

Best poke bowl: Poke Fix

We had SO much sushi and poke bowls while we were there, but our very favorite is Poke Fix. The menu changes based on what’s caught fresh each day, and the seasoned selections are marinated to perfection. They truly treat poke like a work of art; it’s by far the best poke bowl of my life.

Best Acai bowl: ALO Cafe

Everything is made fresh in house, including their peanut butter. I love these acai bowls because the base isn’t too sweet, they have gluten-free granola, and the ratio of acai to toppings is ideal. They also have wonderful smoothies!

Best date night or fancier dinner spot: A House Without a Key

This is probably in my top 10 resturants ever, including all of the places we’ve traveled. Everything is fresh, vibrant, and you can’t beat the scenery. You’re outdoors, facing the ocean and an exquisite sprawling tree, which provides a bit of shade for the live music and hula dancers.

Easy 30 Minute Grilled Chicken Tacos [+Video]

Looking for a delicious and nutritious meal option? Try these grilled chicken tacos, packed with lean protein and fresh pico de gallo, for a satisfying and healthy meal that will leave your taste buds and body happy.

A simple marinade tenderizes and flavors the chicken, and then we grill it to add that smoky bbq flavor. Warm up some Vista brand corn tortillas (these are our FAVORITE), add the grilled chicken and then top with homemade pico de gallo. So easy!

Watch How to Make Chicken Tacos

I grew up on tacos, but when I say that we have to take it with a grain of salt because my mother was raised on a farm in Idaho, which means not only was it always ground beef, flour tortillas, and shredded iceberg lettuce with occasional tomatoes or cheese, but the ground beef for sure 100% had potatoes grated into it, I’m not kidding. We call them Idaho tacos!

Once I was married, my world really started to expand in the world of tacos, but it’s kind of harder than you think when you start off cooking for yourself you want all the flavor, but you’re just not totally sure how everyone achieves it. You can find all sorts of crazy ingredients and marinating times out there, but I’ve found that simplicity is the answer and that’s exactly what these tacos are what you want for dinner tonight.

Ingredients for Grilled Chicken Tacos Recipe

You’ll need just a few ingredients to make the marinade, and you’ll have most of the items in the pantry already. Here is everything you will need:

• Chicken Breasts: Marinate and grill the chicken whole and then chop it into bite-size pieces right before serving.
• Garlic: Adds flavor.
• Lime Juice: Fresh is best of course, and it helps tenderize the chicken and adds flavor.
• Olive Oil: Adds flavor and moisture to the meat and helps tenderize it.
• Seasonings: Chili Powder, Cumin, Smoked Paprika, Black Pepper, and Salt
• Corn Tortillas: We don’t use anything but Vista brand tortillas these days, but you can use whatever brand you love.
• Pico De Gallo: Tomatoes, Jalapenos, Limes, Garlic, Red Onion, Salt, Pepper and Cilantro
