Have you ever tried shakshuka? If not, prepare to discover your new favorite breakfast! It's super filling, satisfying, and healthy, and it's packed with tons of flavor. The first time I ever tried it was on a trip to Israel years ago and I was instantly hooked. Once I realized how easy it is to make it at home, it pretty much became a staple in my weekend routine! It's basically a super flavorful tomato sauce that you can throw a bunch of veggies and spices into, then crack eggs straight into the sauce and let them cook right in there, and once they're done to your liking, you top the whole thing with fresh herbs and avocado (well avocado isn't always in traditional shakshuka, but in my opinion, what's a brunch dish without avo!?).  I'd also seriously recommend some crusty toast to dip into the pan and soak up all of the yummy goodness and flavors!

It feels like I've been living on juicy, fruity summer salads these days. If I had to pick any fruit to add to a salad, it would definitely be peaches or nectarines. When you get them perfectly ripe in the summer, they seriously taste like candy and add so much deliciousness and sweetness (and gorgeous color!) to a salad. We went to a barbeque at my friend Reisa's house recently, and she made a peach salad with avocado, snap peas, tomatoes, basil, and toasted pine nuts, and I knew I had to recreate it immediately. It was the perfect combination of flavors and textures all tossed in a lemon dijon dressing which was amazing. So while this salad is named the Peach,  Avocado, & Basil Summer Salad (purely for the sake of searching on google), it should truly be named the Peacha Reisa Salad after the lovely lady that inspired it!

If you're craving a smoothie that will make you feel like you're on a Hawaiian vacation (even if you're actually just sitting at your desk like I am), then this Greeña Colada  Smoothie is the one for you! It's full of tropical flavors like pineapple and coconut but it's doesn't come with the same hangover or sugar spike you'd get from ordering a blended Piña by the pool! Like all of the smoothies you'll find around here, it's packed with healthy ingredients that are going to keep you full and satisfied for hours, so you don't spend your morning distracted by an unnecessary snack attack. Make it once and you'll be totally hooked!

With Mother's Day coming up this weekend, it felt like the perfect time to share my Mom's famous kale salad recipe. My mom has always been the queen of effortlessly throwing together a quick and healthy meal. She never really measures and just adds a little bit of this and a little bit of that and whatever she's making always manages to turn out so fresh and delicious. I learned how to cook just by watching her do her thing in the kitchen, and her easy, breezy, no-fuss style of cooking has always been a huge inspiration for Weeknight Bite (thanks, Mom!).  When we cook together, it's a time for us to relax, chat, gossip, and laugh, and I love that shooting this recipe together really captured the two of us in our element! 

If you only have 15 minutes to throw together a weeknight dinner, then you've got more than enough time to whip up these Sheet-Pan Shrimp Fajitas, my friends. This recipe really couldn't be easier - you just toss sliced bell peppers and onions on a sheet pan with some shrimp, drizzle with avocado oil, season with taco seasoning, and throw it all in the oven for 8 minutes or so. Easy as could be! Then you'll serve it with some charred tortillas, your favorite salsa or guac, and you'll be so pumped about your delicious fajita night that just happened to come together in a matter of minutes. Oh and if you line your sheet pan with parchment paper, then clean-up will be a total breeze, too, and you can spend the rest of your night binge-watching Game of Thrones or doing something much more fun than dish duty!
