Simply Recipes / Adobe Stock With Cinco de Mayo (and summer) fast approaching, my cravings for a crisp margarita are stronger than any other time of year. While margs can be made many different ways, their classic sweet-sour flavor combination is nothing short of refreshing.

Simply Recipes / Getty Images Avocado is by far one of my favorite veggies (though technically it’s a fruit). I add it to salads, toasts, sandwiches, soups, and dips. Speaking of dips, guacamole is one the top ways I enjoy avocados at home. It’s tangy, smooth, and nothing short of a chef’s kiss atop a tortilla chip.

Simply Recipes / Getty Images As one of my all-time favorite condiments, salsa is a permanent fixture in my fridge. Sure, it’s perfect for taco night or on-the-fly entertaining served alongside tortilla chips, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. I often add salsa to egg dishes, enchiladas, burrito bowls, rice dishes, and even Mexican-inspired pastas! However, as an Armenian-American woman, I am in no way an expert on the best or most authentic salsas, either homemade or store-bought.

When it comes to health trends, protein intake and gut health have topped the list for several years now. And while both are important, eating for these trends can often look very different for different people.

They’re more likely to be found on restaurant menus, in sushi rolls, and displayed at the fish counter. However, smaller fish, like sardines, anchovies, mackerel, and herring, deserve to be just as revered.
