Pink and Leopard Print

I'm so excited that the weather is finally starting to warm up but during this weird transition of sometimes-cold-sometimes-hot days, it's hard to find the right outfit. You don't want to keep wearing your dark wintery colors, but at the same time it's not warm enough to bust out the summer dresses and shorts. I put together a fun springy outfit that's still weather-appropriate for the cooler days!

 

Pink J. Crew sweater (similar here, here, and here)
Pink stripped Gap tunic (old, super similar here, on sale here and short sleeve version here)
White jeans (similar here, here, and save here)
Pink scarf (similar here, here, here, here, and here)
Leopard clutch (from Stitch Fix but splurge here, and save here and here)
French Connection Brown leather sandals (similar here, here, and here)

Lentil Stew Recipe

This soup recipe is AMAZE. It is super healthy because it has tons of veggies but it is also filling because of the lentils. The only thing I changed was using chicken broth instead of water, to add more flavor. The recipe is enough to have tons of left overs, which is a huge bonus in my book. Whip up a grilled cheese and you have a healthy, delicious meal on your hands! If you want more recipes by Simple Vegan Blog check out my post on their rainbow veggies or their blog!

Pesto Turkey and Gruyère Pita Sandwich

Sometimes I get into a lunch rut where I pack the same old boring sandwich and then I'm not excited to eat my lunch. Eating lunch is one of my few breaks during the day, so I make sure that the food is extra delicious so I enjoy my break! One of my favorite go-to's when I'm feeling "bleh" about my lunch game is this amazing pesto turkey and Gruyere pita sandwich. It's super delicious and I always get a handful of questions each day I bring it about what kind of delicious lunch I'm eating! I got my inspiration from this sandwich but added pesto and used spring mix instead of lettuce. Gruyere is definitely a pricier cheese, but if you have a Trader Joe's in your area, they have Gruyere for pretty affordable prices! For the pesto, Trader Joe's definitely has the tastiest and most economical pesto, so I would highly recommend their pesto! I usually will use one apple for the whole week of sandwiches, so I'll cut off a few slices each day and save the rest in a Tupperware for the next day! Let me know what you think!

No-Bake Peanut Butter Bars

 

I am the peanut butter queen. I love love love peanut butter. If a day goes by where I don't eat a nut-butter, something is wrong. I didn't eat peanut butter growing up, so I have to make up for lost time! I was so excited when I found this recipe because it combines 2 of my favorite things: chocolate and peanut butter! Sally's Baking Addiction is definitely my go-to baking blog, and this recipe is nothing short of perfection: 5 ingredients and no-bake! Some of my other favorite recipes from Sally include the skinny raspberry chocolate chip muffins and the cake batter chocolate chip cookies. Comment below if you make the recipe!

Easy Chicken Fajitas

I love Mexican food and these chicken fajitas are the absolute BEST. They are extremely easy to make -- only 15 minutes of prep time and then pop them in the oven! They're also pretty healthy and filling! Basically, they meet all the important meal-prep criteria in my book! I usually add the fajitas to a warm tortilla and then add lettuce, tomato, sour cream, cheese, and guacamole *insert praise emoji*. The recipe is from Budget Bytes! If you haven't read her blog yet, you should check it out because she has tons of economical yet super delicious meals!
