Garlic Spinach Pasta with Chickpeas

This post is in partnership with Moms Meet. All opinions are my own.

Today I'm sharing a super easy pasta dish I make almost every week - Garlic Spinach

Pasta with Chickpeas. This meal is in my dinner rotation constantly because it's quick,

delicious and I almost always have all of the ingredients on hand.

Spinach Stuffed Shells

Strawberry Spinach Salad Cups

I served these individual Strawberry Spinach Salad Cups at Madison's graduation party to
add a little green to the buffet and I loved them!  I'm a sucker for miniature desserts and
individual servings anyway, I just think they are adorable.

I thought about serving the salad in 4 oz. jelly jars, but opted for Chinet 9 oz. clear plastic
cups because they are wider and disposable for easy party clean up.  I placed the strawberry
spinach salad cups on a silver galvanized tray and they looked so pretty.  I served poppy
seed dressing on the side. They would be perfect for a Memorial Day cookout this weekend!

Spinach Pear Green Smoothie & A Giveaway

I've been enjoying green smoothies for over a year now and I love coming up
with new combinations.
I always begin with baby spinach or kale or sometimes both.
Next up are frozen banana chunks, flax, chia or hemp seeds, unsweetend almond milk,
Stonyfield yogurt and whatever fruit I may have on hand.
I might add oats or nut butters too.
So many possibilities!

Sometimes I freeze yogurt in ice cube trays and use them in my smoothie too.
This works great when you have yogurt that is getting close to the expiration date
and don't want it to go to waste.

I'm usually the only one drinking smoothies around here, so a small blender is all I need.
The Hamilton Beach Single Serve Blender is perfect for making a smoothie for one.

Blackberry Spinach Salad

During the summer months there's nothing like a fresh cool salad for lunch or dinner.
Romaine, baby spinach and kale are my favorite greens.
I like to top my salad with some type of fruit, a little protein and then a few Diamond nuts
to add a little crunch!
Sliced almonds, chopped walnuts, pine nuts - I love them all!

Diamond Nuts recently sent me a few packages of nuts, along with some recipe cards to inspire
me to come up with some new salad combinations.
The beautiful blackberries I purchased last weekend at our local farmers market were just the
inspiration I needed.
