Ep. 1 of “We got it at home”
Ever since moving back to mid-MI from chicago, I’ve missed all the food that was getting me through senior year of college 😭 there’s absolutely NO healthy food options in my area unless you count chipotle; so, instead of complaining (more than I already have), I’ve simply made it a point to recreate my faves from chains I no longer have access to until I visit chi again. tonight’s choice: Sweetgreen’s steakhouse chopped bowl 😮💨 suuuuuper tedious hand chopping the herbs for the quinoa and dressing, but suuuuuper worth it in the end.

Are you also missing your favorite foods after relocating? Many find themselves craving dishes from beloved eateries, especially when healthier options are limited. One delicious solution is to recreate popular dishes at home, such as the Sweetgreen's Steakhouse Chopped Bowl. This bowl is packed with nutritious ingredients like grilled top sirloin, roasted sweet potatoes, broccoli, herb quinoa, chopped kale, cherry tomatoes, and a creamy green goddess dressing made with Greek yogurt. Hand-chopping herbs may seem tedious, but it greatly enhances the flavor and presentation of the meal. You can modify the recipe to align with your dietary preferences, substituting ingredients as necessary. Additionally, adding fresh herbs can elevate the taste—parsley, cilantro, and basil are excellent choices to incorporate. Using quality, fresh ingredients is key to achieving that restaurant-quality flavor at home. Don't forget to explore various dressings and toppings; goat cheese, for example, adds a delightful creaminess. Overall, reflecting on how you can bring your favorite dining experiences into your kitchen is an enjoyable journey that can lead to healthier eating habits!
