Rachael Kirkconnell’s TikTok Salad

I had to try the latest salad trend all over Instagram and TikTok. Rachael Kirkconnell, from The Bachelor , made this salad that can be a snack or a meal. I had it for lunch twice so far, and I love it! Here is the recipe: Rachel Kirkconnell’s TikTok Salad Ingredients: 2-3 sliced mini cucumbers 4-5 sliced mini sweet peppers 1 tablespoon ginger dressing 1 teaspoon chili crunch 1 teaspoon Everything but the Bagel seasoning Instructions: 1. Place mini cucumbers, mini sweet peppers, dressing and chili crunch in a bowl. Stir together so all veggies are covered with the dressing and chili crunch. 2. Top with Everything but the Bagel seasoning. As you can see, this is a quick and easy salad to make, I used Makoto ginger dressing and Momofuko Chili Crunch.

28 Summers by Elin Hilderbrand—A Review with a Recipe!

She is kind, generous, a terrific teacher, and a great cook. I loved the relationship that developed between Jake and Mallory, even though it ends up being complicated. Elin Hilderbrand organizes the book into “28 summers” and introduces each summ...

I was so fortunate to watch Good Morning America on January 14th to see Kristin Cavallari make her White Chicken Chili . I decided to make it, and it is delicious! It is so delicious that I purchased her new cookbook, True Comfort , so I can make more of her recipes. True Comfort contains more than 100 recipes free of gluten and refined sugar.
