This strawberry lemonade is a recreation of my favorite childhood treat from Olive Garden. Only this one is made with real ingredients and without all the sugar.
I call this an “everything” sauce because it fits to well with everything. We’ve used it as a spread for a sandwich, a salad dressing, a chip dip, on top of a burger, and a meatball dip. It’s so versatile! It’s like the little black dress of sauces.
This cauliflower fried rice is just as satisfying as the fried rice we got from our local Asian restaurant as kids. But I’m actually doing something good for my body and I feel good two hours later. This is a new staple in our house.

I feel like an awesome mom when I can put these healthy pancakes on my kids’ breakfast plates.
