It's me, Gillean!
My philosophy is simple: I believe what we consume is everything—from the foods we put in our body, to the ideas we feed for our minds, to the connections we have with others. Everything gives you energy, and what you take in determines how your life will be. My goal is to champion a healthy lifestyle that is simple, accessible, and gives your body what it needs to fuel your best life possible.

Pear and Sausage Salad
Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 5 min
Ingredients:
- 1 ripe pear, cored and sliced thin
- 1 large package mixed greens
- 2 fully cooked chicken sausages, cut into half moons
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- ½ cup blue cheese crumbles
- 1 cup croutons
- Balsamic vinaigrette, for serving
Directions:
In a saute pan, over medium-high heat, add in a little olive oil followed by the sausage. Cook, moving frequently until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Drain off excess fat and set aside.
In a large bowl, toss together pears, greens, dried cranberries and just enough balsamic vinaigrette to coat. Divide among serving dishes and top each salad with blue cheese crumbles, sausage and croutons.
Other Ways To Prepare This Meal:
Plant-based: Use vegan sausage or swap for drained and rinsed canned chickpeas. Use nutritional yeast or vegan cheese shreds instead of blue cheese.
Gluten-free: Use gluten-free croutons.
Kid-friendly: Make theirs a wrap and serve with their favorite fruit and baked chips.
