Some of you may recognize this recipe from my e-book, Well, balanced. It has been a staple dinner in our home since recipe development for my e-book and I just couldn’t keep it exclusive any longer! What I love about this recipe is the flavor to effort ratio. Making a good soup is sometimes an all day affair, requiring hours of simmering and stirring. This flavor-packed soup can be ready in 45 minutes and if you're even tighter on time, consider my lazy girl recipe hacks at the end of this page (hint: with a few pre-made substitutes, it could be ready in under a half hour!)

In the hot summer months, there are few things more satisfying than having tacos for dinner. This recipe combines shrimp with subtle heat, tart mango and tomatillo, fresh herbs, and bright citrus notes. In essence, it’s all my favorite parts about summer! I often pair this salsa with black beans for a simple yet satisfying vegan alternative.

You can find me enjoying the leftover salsa with just about anything from chips to bean bowls, and honestly, by the spoonful. It’s just that good.
