Grilled Cheese sandwiches are one of life’s little pleasures. This Avocado and Tomato Vegan Grilled Cheese is creamy and delicious. It’s made using Pure Blends. A plant-based butter alternative with a creamy and buttery taste. Avocado, tomato and vegan cheese alternative are sandwiched between two vegan whole grain slices of bread and toasted to perfection. We think you’ll like it as much as we do.

There’s just something about a grilled cheese sandwich, amiright? Grilled cheese sandwiches have come a long way from the plain grilled cheese of my childhood. Not that there’s anything wrong with those. They still hold a place for dunking into tomato bisque when I’m not feeling so hot. But these days so much more than just cheese is going into a grilled cheese sandwich.

A lot of thought goes into the bread, butter, cheese and yes the extra add ins. They run the gamut from mushrooms, to sun dried tomatoes to anything and everything in between. Grown up grilled cheese if you will.  If you can dream it (and it’s edible) chances are it’s been placed into a grilled cheese sandwich.

Summer is just getting fired up and that means so are the grills! Yes grilling season is in full swing. I for one couldn’t be happier. There’s just something about food cooking on the grill. The smell wafting through the neighborhood. The not heating up the kitchen, and using less dishes to cook … Dreamy.

Our friends over at The Best Meals Happen At Home are adding new recipes (like this Best Ever JUICY Burger) to inspire you to get together and get outside! Head over to your local Publix to shop and save on ingredients, then invite your friends and family to enjoy all the good food.

If you love crab cakes you’ll love tuna cakes as well. They’re incredibly flavorful, can be eaten on their own or you can turn them into tuna sliders with avocado and pico de gallo. These sliders are made using Blue Harbor Wild Albacore tuna. They’re fresh, simple and perfect to enjoy all spring and summer long.

This is sponsored post brought to you by Blue Harbor. Opinions are my own.

I am a seafood lover through and through. While I absolutely love crab cakes, they can be expensive. I have something equally as delicious and a whole lot more budget friendly. Tuna cakes (or patties for those of you just can’t get past calling it a cake, I get it). It starts with quality tuna.

Blue Harbor Fish Co. Have you heard of this company? I hope so but if you haven’t, here are a few reasons I was impressed with them:

• Their tuna is wild, line-caught premium quality fish that offers a delicious, mild, clean flavor.
• Blue Harbor is MSC Certified, which means it complies with sustainable practices and ensures each fish is traceable back to the boat.
• It’s soy Free, Gluten Free and Dolphin safe.

Keto Ham and Egg Cups

If you’re looking for an on the go Keto friendly and low carb breakfast or brunch option try these Keto Ham and Egg Cups. Packed full of protein, they can even be made in advance and then re-heated making them a great grab and go option for us non morning people.

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Hillshire Brands Company.  The opinions and text are all mine.

I’m so excited for this warmer weather and the chance to be outside more. In my opinion, winter overstayed it’s welcome and I’m ecstatic to be finally able to ditch my basement treadmill and take my workout outdoors. I head to the local park most mornings to put in my miles.

Meandering through the trails, little hills and workout equipment that’s peppered throughout I work up quite the appetite. When I get back home my normal routine is to make a large skillet of cheesy scrambled eggs (3-4 eggs worth), ham and spinach. Not going to lie, I’m usually hangry at this point and having to cook it then isn’t optimal. What’s a girl to do?

Turn your post workout meal into a grab and go bite that’s what.

Sponsored post by Mirum. All opinions are my own.

It’s spring-ish y’all! I’m excited to plant my summer garden soon. I’m actually a little behind my normal planting schedule because of this crazy weather that can’t seem to make up it’s mind. I plant a decent amount of herbs and vegetables but I always seem to have an over abundance of zucchini and crooked neck squash from my garden bounty. I’m ALWAYS looking for ways to use them because it pains me to let anything go to waste. I can already tell, this zucchini noodle salad with tomatoes is going to be making an appearance and often.

This quick and easy zucchini noodle salad is perfect for a light lunch, dinner or even as a side dish to take to pot-lucks and picnics. Did I mention that there’s NO cooking required?
