This is my most requested fall/winter catering recipes and a total crowd-pleaser! Inspired by one of my favorite salads of all time, the famous Charlie Bird farro salad, this is my winter-take with juicy pomegranate, fresh mint, toasted hazelnut, creamy feta and apple cider vinaigrette.

CPK Inspired BBQ Chicken Salad
If you also grew up going to California Pizza Kitchen, then you know how incredible this salad is! This is just one of those nostalgic cravings that hit me hard the other day and I knew I had to make it: chopped romaine, fresh corn and tomatoes, tangy bbq glazed chicken, cilantro ranch and crunchy tortilla chips. Is your mouth watering yet or just me? Even better, this one is dairy-free friendly, gluten-free and lightened up a bit!
The GEM Inspired Jalapeno Pesto Hummus
The GEM in Dallas is one of my go-tos when I need a healthy pick up. They have this incredible jalapeno pesto hummus that immediately got my wheels turning and I knew I had to figure out how to recreate it! And here we are: with a super meal prep friendly, clean and delicious snack to add to your repertoire.
Cheeseburger Spaghetti Squash Bake
Juicy ground beef, tangy tomato, pickle, mustard and cheddar, this cheeseburger bake has it all (minus the guilt) and is the perfect thing to squash that cheeseburger craving. Did she really just do that? Yes, she did ;) Dare I say, it's even better the next day? If you have leftovers that is.
