Mother’s Day- Little Gem & Herb Fries

May

One of my favorite lunches with my mom and sisters is a simple salad and French fries. Ordering a salad as a main takes the guilt out of devouring a platter of fries, lol.

I'm topping them with lemon parsley salt and serving them with a super fresh little gem … keep reading darling...

Pesto is my favorite thing to make when I have a bunch of fresh herbs left in my refrigerator. With just a few ingredients, you can turn your leftover herbs into a delicious new creation.

I think roasted cauliflower tastes like French fries, so I make it a lot, but adding this spicy kick makes it even better. I served it with our… keep reading darling...
