For a while there, I was only posting “blog pics” in my feed. Meaning pretty-looking edited photos that I deemed worthy of a blog post! But in this season of my life, I’m all about being more authentic and a little less filtered. So especially for summer, expect to find some easy meal ideas in my feed and some pics that skew more towards real life than insta-curated! But still slightly filtered 😂🤷🏼‍♀️, I’m only human. Spiralized Cucumber Greek Salad! I made this recipe for Kelsey at @littlebitsof_realfood while she was on maternity leave, so you can find the full recipe on her site! I added chickpeas and avocado since I had them, did white onion instead of red, and used my grandma’s sweet and sour dressing instead of the easy Greek vinaigrette in the recipe 👍🏻
You know what? I used to be a blue cheese hater. An “ew, blue cheese,” kind of person. A “could you sub cheddar for the blue cheese,” at restaurants kind of person. And I actually remember the first time I ever had a salad with blue cheese that I liked. ⁣ ⁣ It allll came down to a very specific salad formula called the "magic blue-cheese-on-a-salad formula."⁣ ⁣ Actually I just named it that for this post. But it's everything you need.⁣ ⁣ Grab the recipe link from my bio or front and center at www.mariamakes.com.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ #saladszn #bluecheese #mariamakes #getyoursaladon⁣
You may have noticed that things have been kind of quiet around here lately! I've been taking a bit of an unofficial blogging break... but hey, I'll still be posting every once in a while while I sort through some life things behind the scenes. Getting back into cooking and shooting yesterday felt so gooooooood!⁣ ⁣ The beautiful rhubarb I picked up at the farmers market this weekend was just calling me to make the simplest 2-Ingredient Rhubarb Sauce everrrr. Breakfast this week is stacked, because I'm pairing this tart and sweet sauce with @fage greek yogurt and @cookieandkate's "The Very Best Granola."⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Grab the recipe link from my bio or front and center at www.mariamakes.com.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #eatlocal #shoplocal #lovebft #farmersmarket #rhubarb⁣
