One of my all time and pretty much every day go-to meals is a kale Caesar salad. I know, kale had it's moment, but I still enjoy the hearty lettuce against a nice, bright, lemony dressing. The trick to my kale Caesar is topping it with buffalo chicken bites. Adding that level of crunch and spice sets this over the top. Plus, then you can say you ate a salad when you really had fried chicken!

Shabu shabu, also known as Japanese hot pot, means 'swish swish' which is really all that's needed in this simple, savory soup. We have this at least once a week because it's so quick to throw together and so hearty without being overly rich or too filling.

Does anyone NOT like a taco? The ideal bite of spicy meat (or veggies!), rich sour cream, tangy tomatoes, fresh cilantro, and salsa with enough heat to have you heading in for another bit. I love finding different ways to mix up tacos and seeing how versatile they can be!
