Vampire Kiss Salad + Cherry Vinaigrette

September 8, 2025 Amanda Plott

Brace yourself, fellow flavor fanatics, because this isn’t your typical leafy green snooze fest. The Vampire Kiss Salad is here to bite into your taste buds with a burst of juicy, tangy, and downright vampy goodness. Think dark, brooding greens, jewel-like cherries, and a vinaigrette so good it’s practically supernatural. Don’t worry—this salad’s only guilty pleasure is how healthy it is. No vampires were harmed in the making... except maybe your diet, in the best way possible.

Why “Vampire Kiss”?

The name comes from the deep, crimson cherry vinaigrette that stains every leaf like a kiss from the undead (in a totally delicious, non-creepy way). Plus, cherries are rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, giving you a boost that vampiric legends could only dream of. Leafy red greens adds iron and fiber, because even bloodsuckers need to keep their strength up. And to keep things interesting, this salad has a little crunch and nuttiness that’ll make you swoon faster than a late-night creature of the night…

Adult Lunchables

June 23, 2025 Amanda Plott

Remember those nostalgic little trays from childhood, bursting with cheese, crackers, and mystery meat?

Enter Adult Lunchables—the smarter, more delicious iteration of the classic that proves snack time isn’t just kid’s play anymore. These aren’t your run-of-the-mill packaged snacks. Think elevated flavor profiles, wholesome ingredients, and a healthy dose of fun. Because hey, just because we’re grown-ups doesn’t mean we have to give up the joy of eating little bites of awesomeness…

July 5, 2023 Amanda Plott

The Golden Goddess Couscous Salad is a delightful combination of flavors and textures that will transport your taste buds to a Mediterranean paradise.

Taco Jar Salad

August 29, 2022 Amanda Plott

If you can’t tell, I’ve been in jar salad mode for a while now. For me, it’s super easy to accidentally skip out on lunch, so having prepared jarred salads ready to go in my fridge means that I don’t have any excuse to miss out on a meal! These Taco Jar Salad are another great option too. You get a lot of bang for your buck here since there technically isn’t any salad dressing. We’re using salsa here!

The salsa naturally gives the salad a dressing of it’s own that is low in calories and in guilt. Which means you get to load this salad up with all the more taco goodness. We’re talking beans, corn, cheese, tomatoes. All of it! Even the meat and cheese…
