I've been eating the ~wrong~ salsa all along

Our very own Ross Yoder went on a salsa binge, taste-testing *and* ranking the top jarred salsas out there. He tried out private label brands as well as more fancier salsas out there (think: Amy's, Green Mountain Gringo, Clints)! The results—albeit unexpected—are not too spicy. Check them out!

P.S. Be sure to also check out the salad round-up at the end of this email if you're trying to eat a bit more healthy in the New Year!

This TikTok cloud bread is super easy to make and more analogous to a soufflé or meringue than a super savory carbohydrate. A mean dessert...for lunch! :)

You're not the only one obsessed with Cava! Jen thinks that Emma's Cava bowl might be worth a try. The veggies, pickled onions, and olives all work together! And the spicy hummus was the cherry on top (it was unexpectedly creamy and delicious). Be sure to keep your eyes out when you next pass by a Cava!

Stephan brings us Noah Wille, the viral TikToker who has given us the DL on scoring free food at your favorite restaurants. Is it ethical? Probably not. Is it funny? You betcha! To be fair, I didn't even know there were so many different fast food / restaurant chains offering freebies!

Whether you're looking for chicken nuggets (on the fly), or two-ingredient microwave Oreo cake, Hannah has got you covered with some of the more viral recipes around. Check them out!

If wilted leaves are not your thing, then these recipes featuring alternatives to the boring desk salad might just be right up your alley! Steak, chicken, tofu, and more proteins are yours for the choosing!

Did someone say eat your vegetables? Alison Roman has a neat recipe based off a rainbow. The best part of this bowl is that it's super filling—the grains are the secret—and healthy at the same time!
