Lunch boxes are cool

I haven't packed a lunch in 10 years until last week. I spend so much time on the road, traveling from job to job so packing a lunch should make sense for me. I recently stumbled across PlanetBox-an eco friendly, safe-stainless steel lunch box company that makes packing lunch incredibly easy. I am a leftover queen- so cramming all of my snacks in a stainless steel lunchbox is oddly satisfying and helps with food waste in my own fridge. I went with the "Launch Box" style because of the larger compartment for salads and proteins and salad dressing container. Check out other styles and lunchbox goodies at PlanetBox.com 

More Kefir Please

If you have eaten at one of my tables you know that I am a little yogurt obsessed. From appetizers to desserts its one of my favorite ingredients to incorporate in my dishes. Now that we have entered soup season, it remains at the top of my go-to lists for soup toppers. If you're really into the yogurt tang try kefir milk-its a game changer. 

What is Kefir?

Kefir is more or less a drinkable yogurt with added beneficial yeasts and probiotics. It is made from a gelatinous grain which ferments the milk and is then removed before serving. 

Goat Milk Kefir Dressing-I use this recipe to top fish, chicken, soup and salads. 

Ingredients

1 cup goat kefir milk

1 clove garlic

1 t chopped dill (or basil, thyme, rosemary whatevs)

1 t olive oil 

1/2 t salt

Muddle your garlic and salt into a fine paste. Add your kefir milk and chopped herbs and mix. Top your dressing with 1 t of olive oil and some fresh cracked black pepper.
