Chop Chop Salad- Spring is Coming!

By

Up until this mornings freezing temperatures (we’re in East TN), you would have thought that Spring had arrived several months ago. Despite the cold snap, we are in the midst of planning our garden and getting things started in a DIY Hoop house to get a head start on any late frosts.

This Chop Chop Salad Recipe is a fantastic way to welcome in those early greens!

Feel free to play around with the ingredients in this salad to your liking. We would encourage you to stick to stalky/crunch greens, as they add great crunch and texture. Consider this one a complete meal and it works well with steak or chicken.

Chop Chop Salad

Ingredients:
2 romaine lettuce hearts, washed and chopped into bite-sized pieces
1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
1/4 pound bacon, cooked until crispy and chopped into small pieces
1 1/2 pounds cooked chicken, chopped
2 avocados, pitted and diced
1/2 cup store-bought Paleo-friendly Caesar dressing (we love Tessemae’s)

Place all ingredients in a large bowl and toss with dressing. It’s that easy!

Other variations: try prosciutto instead of bacon. Add feta cheese (and reduce amount of dressing) if you’re dairying! Steak instead of chicken works great.
Note: you can make the salad ahead of time, assembling everything except the avocado and dressing. Stir those in last minute before serving.

Caesar-ish Dressing Recipe- if you want to make your own

Ingredients:
1 avocado, pitted and peeled
4 anchovy fillets, rinsed
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 clove garlic
2 tablespoons EV Olive Oil or avocado oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)

Place all ingredients in food processor or blender and puree. Add more oil if you want a thinner consistency.

 

We hope you enjoy this recipe. We’ll be busy posting more recipes on our fancy schmancy updated website! Feel free to venture on over and take a look. Be on the lookout for a fantastically fun giveaway we’re doing with Robb and Lodge Cast Iron in the coming weeks!

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
