“What are you going to write for your post?” my husband asked last night. “I have no idea,” I responded. But maybe that’s okay, because yesterday was a day when I just soaked in the sights and sounds of my family. It was Mother’s Day, so there was some pampering involved. A perfectly sweetened cup [...]

Strawberry, Pistachio, Feta Cheese & Basil Salad Recipe

May 10, 2013

While this green salad is everything that a salad should be – fresh, tasty, healthy and wholly satisfying – there is one thing it is not. Rocket science. In fact, this salad was made from a good, old-fashioned rummage through our fridge and pantry. As much as I’d like to take credit for the pairing [...]

Warm Bourbon Spinach Salad Recipe with Roasted Red Peppers

Celebrate Mardi Gras with a spinach salad tossed with a bourbon dressing, and topped with avocado and bacon. If you can’t be at Mardi Gras in person, you might as well douse your salad in bourbon. Now, I know this isn’t traditional Mardi Gras-esque food. It’s not gumbo, jambalaya or etouffée, and there’s not even [...]

Chopped Kale Salad with Pomegranates & Avocado

It’s safe to say that this is one of the best salads I’ve ever made. I never really thought that I’d say that about raw chopped kale, but I am forever smitten with this dark leafy green. Add the pop and tang of pomegranate seeds, creamy avocado pieces, a bright lemon dressing and a smidgen [...]

Quinoa Salad with Apple, Chickpeas, Toasted Almonds & Apple Cider Vinaigrette Recipe

Oct 1, 2012

I’m going to pretend that anytime I make Meatless Monday recipes it is done with purely charitable intentions. Don’t get me wrong, I wholeheartedly support the idea behind Meatless Monday…cutting out the meat once per week to improve both our health and the health of the planet. However, if I start to pull out the [...]
