This has become a go-to for weekly meal prepping. It's such a simple, but tasty recipe and adds a lot of freshness to a meal. I usually pair it with some quinoa or brown rice, some chicken or drained and rinsed chickpeas and some feta cheese. If you'd like to take some of the 'bite' out of the raw onion, soak it in some cold water for a few minutes first.

I love to bake and to try out new recipes! I'm always on the lookout for simple dinners for busy weeknights. A lot of the recipes I post on here are ones I've found on Pinterest or from different bloggers, and that I've tried and really enjoyed, but I always reference to where I got the recipe from in the recipe description and the pictures are my own. If there's no source listed, then it's a rare recipe that I came up with. I have two wonderful kids and I hope to pass on my love of cooking and baking to them.
