  2. I used to make thus chipotle ranch sauce at this restaraunt (The Lake Tavern) & we used it to toss wings , sandwiches, burgers , chicken tenders etc. Was incredible on everything. Chipotle in adobo sauce plus powder ranch plus parsley n sour cream n mayo blend. Wonderful

  12. I got super inspired by your pasta salad recipes and I made my own version but with brown rice instead of orzo and tuna, radishes, green onions and dill with a dressing that had mustard, lime and sesoned olive oil. Thank you so much for all the amazing work you do. I love watching every single video as soon as it comes out. I have actually made a lot of the recipes like the beet risotto, the pear pizza, the caprese qinoa bake, PBJ oatmeal muffins etc. I just don't take good photos or they get eaten up too quickly :). You guys are fantastic and I hope you have wonderful and fulfilling lives. Lots of love from Romania! 😉

  14. Hi Sara, I just subscribed to your channel. Where have I been 😉love your salads and will be making one for next week. I also made some green smoothies, your recipe. So delicious 😋 would you please give us recipes for summer margaritas? Thank you 🙏 ❤️
