Simple Cucumber Chimichurri

May 24, 2019 by Julie Ann Leave a Comment

An Argentina derived sauce, chimichurri is the perfect sauce to add a splash of extra flavor to anything and everything. Traditional chimichurri is made with a mix of parsley, garlic, oregano, white vinegar, and a higher ratio of olive oil. This Cucumber Chimichurri version is a lighter version, made with a higher ratio of veggies and herbs than of oil.

Preparing this recipe is simple and is made in just 3 easy steps. Chop, toss, and season. Done!

If you are looking for a chimichurri that is;

What’s the oddest thing you’ve packed for a ro What’s the oddest thing you’ve packed for a road trip? Me? It was either be a large poster board of animals (the baby just loves it), or a gang of masks (oh wait that’s totally normal today), sourdough starter + pre-weight bags of multiple flours for feeding and baking, or maybe it was a bag of seeds and a glass quart size mason jar.  Yeah, packing seeds might take the win here, but look at how well they did with some California sunshine! Wana grow some? Dr. Rhonda Patrick has a beautiful step-by-step free guide on how to do it on her website @foundmyfitness 🌱✌️☀️😘#packingessentials #roadtrippacking #broccolisprouts

Sprouts!! To continue with that Hippy Kitchen Vibe Sprouts!! To continue with that Hippy Kitchen Vibe 🌈 ✌️ ☀️ After playing with Sourdough Starter, I moved into growing sprouts. They are easy to do, just 2.5 tablespoons of sprouting seeds, rinse twice a day and in 4-6 days you e got a big jar of fresh greens! We mostly eat them with lemon and sea salt but you could blend them in a smoothie too.  Sprouts are loaded with nutrients and check out that going rate? We must have about $20 worth of sprouts here  #masonjarsprouts #growyourown
8 months beyond when we had originally planned to 8 months beyond when we had originally planned to hit the road and we finally got back to that Forest air! It’s been slow goings with winter weather, this being baby’s 1st big road trip, and attempting school and work while in route. We’ve been averaging about 49 mph. 😂 I wore my iwatch and one day noticed I had done 5,670 steps. I hadn’t left the van that day. #adventurefamily #sprintervan
Ok, we’re all packed in... now what? Dog, kidSSS Ok, we’re all packed in... now what? Dog, kidSSS, car seatSSS, snowboardSSS, skateboardSSS, toySSS, surf board, 12 pairs of shoes, 9 jackets, 6 sets of gloves, 4 pillows, 13.5 gallons fresh water, dog bed, fridge, potty, #bluetti power box, ALLLLL the things. Ok, everyone just stay in your spot and we should be good here. 😬#insidethevan #vanwithkids
I read something somewhere this one time in refere I read something somewhere this one time in reference to the Time Change and only laughed after having kids, it said, “Do you know what you get for Fall Back when you’re a parent?” Nothing. You get nothing. 😂 Kids don’t know they are suppose to sleep in. They also don’t notice where story time takes place as long as it takes place.  Amazingly, they adapt quicker than you’d think. This was a legit lifestyle shot, I don’t even think they knew I took it. It is a lot of moving parts with 2 littles now, and so much work that will all start over again tomorrow. But it is all so sweet, and changes so quick, so I will try to love it all.  Each tiny little moment. #mamamoments #adventurefamily #takethekids
