It can seem impossible to find the perfect sweetener that doesn’t leave you with a sugar rush…and then the inevitable crash later on in the day. After trying so many different suggestions, I found the perfect natural sweetener that’s simple and easy to make!

Lamb chops were always on my list of “special occasion” foods but I saw a few at the farmer’s market and set out on the task of preparing them for dinner tonight. They turned out delicious and would be a great option for a romantic date night in quarantine or for a family dinner at home!⁣ ⁣ Lamb chops (amount depends on how many people you’re serving)⁣ 1 cup peas ⁣ 1 handful fresh mint ⁣ 1 handful fresh parsley ⁣ 1 handful fresh dill ⁣ 1 handful fresh tarragon ⁣ 1/3 cup walnut oil (or more based on desired consistency)⁣ 1/3 cup olive oil (or more based on desired consistency)⁣ 1 whole lemon, juiced⁣ Salt and pepper to taste ⁣ ⁣ Instructions ⁣ 1.

I love this salad for the variety of textures— each bite is a little different! This salad is chopped finely, making tossing this one a breeze. A trick to making any salad more filling is roasting some veggies and throwing those in. Even if you don’t use it all, I love to store the extra in my fridge for an easy side dish later in the week! ⁣ ⁣ Ingredients⁣ 5 cups of spinach ⁣ 1 bunch asparagus ⁣ 1 medium kabocha squash⁣ 1/4 cup toasted sunflower seeds⁣ 1 cup broccoli sprouts ⁣ ⁣ Dressing ingredients ⁣ 6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil ⁣ 1/2 lemon, juiced ⁣ 1 tsp peach vinegar (if you can’t find this, you can sub for apple cider vinegar no problem!)⁣ Salt and pepper to taste ⁣ ⁣ Instructions ⁣ 1. Preheat your oven to 350 F. Clean and chop asparagus. Toss with some olive oil, salt and pepper and roast for 12-15 minutes. ⁣ 2. Raise your oven temperature to 400 F. Cut your squash into thirds and scoop out the seeds. Toss your squash thirds in some coconut or walnut oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Flipping halfway through, roast for 30 minutes or until fork tender. ⁣ 3. Chop your greens finely and arrange your other salad ingredients. Toss well and enjoy!

Just because we’re in quarantine doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t still spend the time doing things that bring you joy. For me, limiting grocery store trips is proving a bit challenging but I’m having fun experimenting with what I have on hand and in the fridge! Continuing to do what I love is really helping me feel like “me” in this crisis.
