I consider it an art if a salad can be made into a dish that is totally satisfying, where you just lay back and sigh in bliss when you have finished eating. This summer I have been eating less salads than I normally do because I haven’t found them as fulfilling as I would like. This salad, paired with everything flavored breadsticks is completely blissful. Filled with protein from the shrimp, healthy fats from olive oil, fantastic and energizing carbohydrates from the yuca in the waffle and all the veggies. Fresh summer apricots and a raspberry vinaigrette add a freshness that makes this meal easy and light for the days when it is too hot to turn on the oven. If you are not on the east coast and cannot get your hands on these glorious waffles, try this recipe and sprinkle on a little bit of everything flavored spices. You won’t regret it and your taste buds will not forget it!

The one thing I struggled with the most when changing my diet was that I severely missed bagels and sandwiches, and bagel sandwiches. When I found these tomato swapples I ran home with them to make everything from my beloved sundried tomato bagel sandwiches to pizza. This has been my absolute favorite, easy summer sandwich by far! Open faced with all the farmer’s market glory to top it off. I definitely made a second one right after devouring this, practically drooling every second. This was another, incredibly blissful and light option. Eating light does NOT mean that you have to sacrifice feeling full and satiated.

This waffle has been my favorite since I first discovered them. Sometimes you just want a sweet treat without a lot of sugar. A bit of veggie can balance out that sweet tooth, provide healthy carbs and nutrients that slow your absorption of the minimal amounts of honey on top. It is the perfect energizing breakfast or late night snack to heat up and slather on some coconut oil or ghee. Cinnamon and vanilla have always been my favorite flavors, so I usually eat these with just a little bit of healthy fats and probiotic rich raw honey or mushy dates. Feel free to use the french toast recipe listed below for this one, because it is one amazing little breakfast or snack. It has become a staple in my freezer!

You know those blueberry ego waffles that are somehow just SO GOOD compared to all blueberry waffles, even homemade? I don’t know how they do it (chemicals?), but I REALLY don’t know how Rebecca did this one. No joke, Rebecca just knows my cravings. I wake up wanting something random, and BOOM, she has posted it on instagram. I thought it was just coincidence before I realized it was fate when, after YEARS of not a thought about those blueberry waffles, I had an intense craving for them. The same day, without my knowledge, she launched her premier of these babies. Of course, I told her I desperately need to get my hands on them. They are perfect, exactly like I remember them. Now, I will give some credit for this recipe to Rebecca because she tipped me off that these made fantastic french toast. Another treat I had been missing. Boy was she right again. Super fast gluten free french toast that actually holds up and doesn’t fall apart or burn in the pan.
