Crunchy Kale Salad with Peanut Sauce
& Honey Sriracha Shrimp
It’s Spring break and mama is tired. I’ve slowly forgotten how much my kids are to handle from morning to night and I’ve got a bit reliant on School. I’m exhausted and so is my coffee machine from excessive use.
I like to talk a lot, but whoa..they are on another level. I’ve got two Chatty Kathy’s, that love to argue with each other, and a dog that barks at me all day. Maybe listening exhausts me more than talking.
I needed to check out for a bit and I’m currently at the local library by myself enjoying a few quiet hours.
I hear Summer camp calling, haha. Honestly though, why is Summer camp so expensive now? They’re not even feeding the kids anymore. I'm not packing lunch and paying those prices.
I sound so bad. I really love my kids. Parenting is just a lot sometimes 🤪
Crunchy Kale Salad
Today I’ve got big flavor for you all! I’ve been craving peanut sauce for the last few weeks and went all in on this Kale Salad. It has so many textures and flavors, and is sooooo good! This salad uses bagged coleslaw mix or you can use the vegetable slaw (with broccoli) and it’s ready in less than 20 minutes.

Honey Sriracha Shrimp
If you want to pair the Kale Salad with protein, these Honey Sriracha Shrimp make a fantastic match. They’re tossed in a sweet and spicy glaze, that is so delicious and filled with Asian flavors.
You can easily pair these shrimp with rice and some sliced cucumbers for a simple bowl. If you love spicy, match them up with this Chili Oil Ramen or Spicy Cucumber Salad.
Time Saving Tip: Buy the Shrimp peeled and deveined from the butcher. This will save you about 15 minutes of extra prep time. Sometimes you need to clean a few up, but it’s way quicker this way.
That’s it for this week. I hope everyone had a great Easter and I’ll be back in your inbox next Friday with new recipes. Happy Cooking!
