Salad Dressing

So this is a weird post, but I made this salad dressing the other night and have been thinking about it ever since.  As someone who just puts oil and balsamic vinegar on every salad, this was a delicious replacement!

What you need:

-3 Tbsp Olive Oil

-3 Tbsp Reduced-Sodium Soy Sauce

-3 Tbsp white sugar (I used less)

-1.5 Tbsp Fresh Lime Juice

-3 cloves of Garlic, finely diced

-1.5 Tbsp FRESH ginger

-1/2 jalapeno, seeded and diced

We had it on a spinach salad with cherry tomatoes, green onions, and marinated strip steak.  Honestly I just want a soup made out of this dressing!

I need one of these! ($28 here)

Cheers to a great Memorial Day Weekend! We are headed to Michigan to be on the lake, taste some wedding food, and hopefully have a Bud Light Lime (or two).  Hope you all have a great weekend!

Vitamins

I recently was looking up what vitamins are important for girls in their 20s.  I am not sure if I am taking too many, missing any, too few?

I currently take:

-Multivitamin

-Vitamin D

-Calcium (I don’t really eat much dairy/hate milk) *I have heard mixed reviews on whether this is good or not!

-Biotin (hair, nails, skin)

-Fish Oil

-Magnesium (new addition, I think it helps with stress/anxiety)

-B50 (helps with energy, immune system, keeps nervous system balanced)

What do you take? Are there any I am missing?  I hate to take a lot of “pills” but I am not the type of person that has a lot of prescriptions so I feel like these are just an added bonus to a pretty healthy diet.
