Chicken and Shrimp Laap (Larb)
Laap (also known as Larb) is regarded as the “unofficial” national dish of Laos. It’s made with many different minced meats including duck, pork, turkey but I really love this combination of chicken and shrimp.

Beauty talk with health and fitness blogger Amy Lee
We caught up with health and fitness blogger Amy Lee to get an insight into how she maintains her glowing skin on-the-go.
ON MORNING BEAUTY ROUTINES
I drink one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar with warm water every morning (no matter where I am in the world) to detoxify my system and aid digestion.
ON TRAVEL BEAUTY ESSENTIALS
An eyebrow pencil: it makes all the difference to the structure of your face. I use Bare Minerals brow pencil. A hydrating face mist with lavender can also be a quick and soothing fix for dehydrated skin when travelling.
ON MY TOP TRAVEL TIP
I sleep with a silk eye mask (Jurlique is my pick). It doesn’t stretch or irritate the skin, which is especially good for those of us who lie on our sides to sleep.
ON MY TRAVEL MAKE-UP KIT
A tinted mineral moisturiser with SPF 30+ protection. It keeps my skin hydrated, while still allowing my skin to breathe – it’s especially good in the dry atmosphere of a plane.
ON TRAVEL HAIR
I prefer a fish braid – sometimes I get a headache from having a tight ponytail!
I use Moroccan oil on the ends of my hair but because I get oily roots, I love the Klorane dry shampoo as a quick fix.
ON SKIN CARE
I wear sunscreen with at least a SPF 30+ every day, even in winter. Whatever the season, we must always protect our skin from damaging UV rays!
Even when travelling, I cleanse morning and night using an organic moisturiser.
ON WINTER BEAUTY FORECASTS
I think natural looking and effortless hair will be making a comeback – good news for those who oversleep on weekends like me!

Skinnytaste Dinner Plan (Week 85)
Skinnytaste Dinner Plan (Week 85). I’ve added new recipes from last week plus a mix of some older favorites. Have a great week!
Pictured below is The Skinnytaste Meal Planner where I plan my dinners for the week (you can of course use any meal planner). Meal planning is a great way to get organized before heading to the supermarket to get ready for the week! My breakfast is usually something quick like eggs with fruit, a smoothie or avocado toast. We’re a family of four, so if a recipe serves more, it’s either packed up for everyone’s lunch or eaten the next day as leftovers. If you would like to see some of the previous week’s dinner plans, click here.
Skinnytaste Dinner Plan (Week 85)
Monday: Summer Cavatelli with Corn, Tomatoes and Zucchini
Tuesday: Greek Scallop Tacos
Wednesday: Honey Balsamic Grilled Chicken and Vegetables
Thursday: Grilled Flank Steak with Chimichurri with grilled corn
Friday: Seared Tuna Salad with Wasabi Butter Sauce
Saturday: Dinner Out
Sunday: Baked Chicken Parmesan with whole wheat spaghetti

Spicy Garlic Cilantro Fries with Curry Ketchup
http://ift.tt/2v62Xq5
Spicy Garlic Cilantro Fries with Curry Ketchup are a fry-lover’s dream! The spicy seasoning salt with a hefty helping of freshly chopped cilantro and ample amount of fresh garlic really bring the golden fried potatoes to a whole new level of intense flavor. When you match all of these flavors up with a simple homemade curry ketchup, you’ll never be able to eat plain ol’ French fries again.

When I was in Brussels, there was one thing I was there for (aside from the chocolate and beer)… FRIES.
Belgian fries smothered in sauce (find more detail in my 48 Hour Foodie Guide: Brussels!) are a Belgian experience that I cherished multiple times while the Man and I were there this summer. The fries come out PIPING hot, golden brown and smothered with whatever sauce you want. Grabbing a cone filled with them and wandering around the local streets… it’s something I wish I could get here.
So instead of tracking down my favorite fries in Denver, I decided to make my favorite fries at home. (more…)

Honey Balsamic Grilled Chicken and Vegetables
Grilled chicken breast, zucchini, red peppers and asparagus topped with a honey balsamic dressing – this is SO good, I know you’ll be making this all summer and nothing beats an easy summer dish made entirely on the grill so you don’t have to heat up your kitchen!

Sparkling Grilled Peach Sangria
http://ift.tt/2va76tP
Happy hour in the middle of peak peach season = Sparkling Grilled Peach Sangria! Grilled peaches sing a loud and fruity song in this bubbly white sangria with just the right amount of sweetness to go along with the char from the grill. It’s the perfect pitcher drink to serve up for any end-of-summer celebration, or simply to shake up a boring ol’ Wednesday night.

Cooking and baking with peaches is what I’m alllllll about this time of year.
Being in Colorado does have it’s advantages… Palisade Peaches are everywhere and I can’t get enough!
When you bite into a ripe peach, with those juices dripping down either side of your mouth, it brings you racing right back to childhood summer adventures. (more…)

Wednesday Slice
http://ift.tt/2tCgOkt
1. If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I participated in a beefy grilling event with Sprouts and the Colorado Beef Council last week! It was a meaty adventure full of learning about how to grill different cuts of beef, what sides to serve up with it, and how to turn your meat into an artful masterpiece.
First we learned and then we were thrown into the fire with a quick fire to make our best steak and side dish, putting everything we learned to the test. I was suuuuuper nervous at first (oh the pressure!) but once I got an idea in my head, I cruised right along and made the BEST steak I’ve ever grilled.
