For the ladies and gents who asked. Salad is good any time of day. I like it in the am instead of hot cereal. In this case bulgur subs for oatmeal, but so could barley or wheat berry. Any whole grain. The veg can be poached from leftovers. Do yourself a favor and dress withContinue reading “Not Oatmeal Breakfast Salad”

“Remember Summer” Greek Chicken & Salad
Don't you hate when you know everyone expects a dinner but nobody has a suggestion about what it should be? Not helpful! How about pasta bolognese? Or beef stew? Or even meatloaf for goodness sake?! I did get “something lighter” as a suggestion from the love of my life last week. I took that toContinue reading ““Remember Summer” Greek Chicken & Salad”
Eat Your Veg
It's the “It” vegetable of the day, but don't let that deter you from making this dish at home. I will also say – unless you're meat free, ordering cauliflower as a main while dining out is a big fat…well, you know. It's a pretty big markup for little investment. Do it if the chefContinue reading “Eat Your Veg”
OMG, Is Tonight Book Group? Salad
My book group is no wine and cheese affair, although there is always wine and usually cheese. As a member who's missed more meetings than I've attended, I usually try to step up my contribution. Except last week, with 430 roses being processed for an event, a pediatric visit and the need to visit twoContinue reading “OMG, Is Tonight Book Group? Salad”
Inspiration For The Salad Bowl
I'm thinking you can slavishly follow this recipe, or pick and choose among your fave ingredients. If you're living grill-less, skip the charring of the vegetables and use them raw. Whatever you do, toast the almonds and overload on the ricotta salata. Just a thought…I've got your back 🙂 Click here for the recipe. EatContinue reading “Inspiration For The Salad Bowl”
Breakfast salad for Meat-free Monday
Despite my sweet teeth, I mostly prefer savory for breakfast. If grains and veggies are not your daybreak cup of tea, try this salad for lunch or dinner. It tastes the same.I made this as a single serving but double or quadruple. It keeps well for a couple of days and travels nicely too! IngredientsContinue reading “Breakfast salad for Meat-free Monday”
The House Dressing, Green Edition
I get many calls for this salad dressing. Before I bought into the precious nature of balancing single estate olive oil and artisanal vinegar in just the right proportions, I ate this and happily. It's got a million uses from salad, to grilled veggies, to steak marinade. My mom called it the house dressing. ThisContinue reading “The House Dressing, Green Edition”
Heat Wave Summer Corn Salad
It's either this, or watermelon. You can make it in any weather, but stove free cooking makes best sense in summer. Even children don't usually object to corn. And you can sub just about any raw or cooked veg. 'Nuff said – it's hot. 4 ears of corn, cut from cob (yes, raw) Giant handfulContinue reading “Heat Wave Summer Corn Salad”
Last Minute, 3 Ingredient Salad
This was a big hit at book club this week. I wish (wished?) it was more challenging. I think it will become a summer entertaining staple. Try it. Chunks of watermelon Chunks of feta Finely minced dill That's it. Alternatives include, mint replacing the dill or adding some spicy pickled pepper. Or try threading cubesContinue reading “Last Minute, 3 Ingredient Salad”
Breakfast Salad Twist
I was going for the toast when I remembered the leftover ear of grilled corn, and I mean grilled. Rich in color, requested by my youngest who saw the picture on tv, grilled corn. I'd cut off the kernels from the last ear after dinner. We all agreed we loved it, except for the olderContinue reading “Breakfast Salad Twist”
