Need a quick, healthy, and super easy dinner? These taco salads are perfect! I always opt for ground turkey instead of ground beef and always try to grab the leanest percentage. The easiest way to make this recipe is by getting a bagged salad and using that as the base instead of spending lots of time cleaning and chopping lettuce. I love the southwestern chopped salad for this recipe because it comes with green onion, cilantro, and tortilla strips. You can also add any items you have on hand that you think you might like in this salad.

Ingredients:

• Southwestern Chopped Bag Salad
• Ground Turkey
• Taco Seasoning
• Roasted Corn
• Tomatoes
• Onion
• (Any additional toppings of your choice: cheese, sour cream, avocado, salsa, taco sauce, etc.)

Instructions:

1. Brown ground turkey in skillet over medium high heat, breaking up the meat while it cooks. (I love this kitchen tool for this step!)
2. Add in taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Let it simmer on low heat.
3. While the meat is cooking, fix the roasted corn in skillet per package instructions.
4. Assemble your salad in the following layers: lettuce, taco meat, corn, tomatoes, onion, & tortilla strips.
5. Drizzle with salad dressing or taco sauce.

Enjoy!

It’s goes without saying that 2020 has been a whirlwind. With so much uncertainty, it seems like stress levels are through the roof. I love mixing up a little refreshing mocktail to free me of stress from the inside out.

I love something sweet and refreshing, but not TOO sweet. I don’t like to drink my calories, so I always tend to go for something a little on the healthy side. Something sparkling, light, and fruity. The key ingredient is the HOLISTIK Wellness CBD STIK. It helps relax my mind and body and helps me stay calm and focused. Oh, and did I mention that this would make a great drink to serve around the holidays? What’s better than something refreshing and something that will keep you relaxed and stress free during the busy holiday season?

Ingredients:

• 1 HOLISTIK Stress Stik
• 1 orange freshly juiced
• 1 can coconut LaCroix (can substitute for any sparkling water of choice)
• 2 tablespoons cranberry juice
• Ice

Instructions:

1. Add the coconut LaCroix, cranberry juice, and freshly juiced orange into a glass and mix well
2. Add HOLISTIK stress STIK (peel and stir or pop and pour)
3. Add ice
4. Optional: top with orange slices and cranberries

CHEERS!

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day & a meal that I never skip! While I love sweets, there is nothing like a good savory breakfast in my opinion. I always need lots of protein in the mornings and these bowls seem to be the perfect balance to start my day. I’m sharing the super easy recipe below!

Ingredients:

• 1 bag of shredded hash browns
• 1 pack of pancetta
• 5 eggs
• Shredded cheese
• Salt & Pepper to taste
• Toppings of your choice (I used green onions & sriracha)

Instructions:

1. Cook hash browns in skillet.
2. Cook pancetta in another skillet.
3. When pancetta is finished cooking, lay aside on a paper towel covered plate to absorb access grease. Leave remaining grease in the skillet.
4. Cook scrambled eggs in the skillet with the leftover pancetta grease. Once eggs are finished cooking, top with shredded cheese of your liking. Cover with a lid until melted.
5. Add hash browns, eggs & cheese, and pancetta to bowls.
6. Optional: add toppings of your choice (green onions, sriracha, salsa, avocado, etc.)
