30 Salads and 30 Stories

This isn't your average salad book! This is not a bland collection of recipes!!

To begin with, it's for anyone who always thought they couldn't put together a nourishing and quick snack/light meal or didn't enjoy cooking, leave alone making a healthy plate of good carbohydrates, proteins, fiber and fat!

Hi!!! I am a mom to two growing up kids, a long-distance runner, a fitness trainer and an educator. I am NOT a chef or a food blogger! I eat to fuel myself and my family.

Recently, I gave myself a 30-day challenge to come up with the most uncomplicated, unprocessed, seasonal, nourishing, and quick salads that can be done under 20–25 mins! It has now resulted in a collection of flavor-packed recipes that are anything but boring.

Inside this book, you’ll find:

• 30 easy salad recipes using ingredients you likely already have, especially if you have kids or/and have busy work days.
• Real-time reflections from my daily journey: the wins, the flops, the lessons. It's conversational, as if we are sitting across a table!
• Candid kids' reviews on each salad: because children are the most unfiltered food critics you’ll ever meet. My kids are for sure!

I Had A Few Guiding Principles While Making These Salads:

• If it took more than 20–25 minutes, I was overcomplicating it.
• No store-bought/over processed sauces, just my own taste buds and a few trusty ingredients.
• Every day, something had to be new: a flavor, an ingredient, or the way I sliced the cucumbers.

The Best Part? These salads can be taken both as snacks and light meals. They can be paired with all vegetarian and non-vegetarian proteins.

I Never Meant To Write A Cookbook

As the days passed and the salads piled up, I realized this could be a brilliant go-to resource for parents, students, busy working executives or anyone who wants to eat more mindfully without making it a production. This is for anyone who’s ever said, “I’m not really a cook” and is looking for a way to feel more alive in their own kitchen and connected to making something meaningful for themselves.

I Wrote My Everyday Thoughts, Salads and Kids' Feedback - Everyday for 30 days

It has my reflections on motherhood, being a woman in this ever changing world, movies, everyday humor (yes, even The Big Bang Theory) and the witty feedback my kids gave on my salads everyday! I put my love for writing in this cookbook. One more reason for you to give this book a shot!

Lastly, it's a meaningful gift for:

• Your kid heading off to college
• Your friend who wants to bring in merry in the everyday mundane cooking
• For your loved ones you want to inspire towards uncomplicated and mindful eating

What To Expect On This Journey

If you're joining me on this journey, whether you follow all 30 days or just drop in now and then, know this: Every day will be a work in progress. Some days your reason to make a salad will be fueled by a random veggie/ fruit, some days it will be your kids’ reluctant approval. Whatever your reason, keep it fun. Keep it real.

What you create, creates you.

With love,

Tanya
