Strawberries & Cream Cheesecake (dairy-free)

Grilled Steak, Arugula, & Peach Salad
For me, summertime means peaches, patios, and food cooked outside. To enjoy all the summer has to offer this is one of my favorite summertime salads. This is a perfect fast weeknight dinner or it makes a great potluck or picnic addition.
Roasted Strawberries & Rhubarb with Coconut Whip Cream
Strawberry and rhubarb combinations always bring me back to a happy time in my childhood where I would help my Papa in his garden and then my Nana making jams and pies in the kitchen.

I pose the question.. can you make a healthier version of chicken & waffles? Haha. I have a very dear friend visiting me from New York and I wanted to make chicken and waffles for her as I know she likes it, but you know me! I need to attempt to healthify this recipe (at least to some degree). I always talk about balance in my posts, I feel in order to develop a healthy relationship with food you need to not feel restricted, you need to enjoy food and celebrate with others without feeling guilty afterward.
