Roasted Butternut Squash Salad
A touch of maple syrup brings out the full flavor of butternut squash in this recipe. It provides a sweet counterpoint to the tart vinaigrette that dresses this spinach salad.

Refreshing and bracing, this chilly coleslaw wakes up your taste buds with fresh jalapeño peppers and mint.
Asparagus Ribbon Salad with Beets and Burrata
Burrata, a fresh Italian cheese made from mozzarella and cream, adds a soft layer to beets and fresh asparagus.
Avocado Pudding
This popular recipe is inspired by Kourtney K, making it totally poosh! As a big fan of KKUWTK, I always noticed that Kourt was eating some type of ice cream-like mixture in a bowl with a spoon. After visiting her blog, Poosh, I learned it was Avocado pudding. It’s super easy to make and it helps when I am craving something sweet.
