Dressed to Thrill

You will eat KALE and you will like it! Seriously it’s all in the dressing, at least in this case. For 17 years I’ve tried to make children eat salad. Recently, my eldest made a turn for the raw produce with Caesar-style dressings. Ding, ding, ding! Why did I keep trying vinaigrette’s?!! Now I justContinue reading “Dressed to Thrill”

Gluten free Breakfast Salad :-)

Yes, I woke up craving a breakfast salad. Actually, coffee…and a stale chocolate covered, raspberry, kosher for Passover marshmallow. But after that, a breakfast salad. The cool thing about salad is it can literally be made from anything to suit any palate, aversions and allergies. To prove my point, one lovely, well known event venueContinue reading “Gluten free Breakfast Salad :-)”

Greens Are Good. I Mean It!

I apologize for the ballpark recipe. I've never measured this one (Caesar recipes are so personal!). Plus I'm lazy.Continue reading “Kale Caesar-ish”

Deli Turkey Makeover

Seriously most lunch meat from the grocery seems so unappealing. How do they get that turkey breast so large? What else is in there? Why do you feel a Sahara inspired thirst after having a sandwich? For years I've catered to my little guy's desire for the ordinary sandwich with nitrate nitrite gluten free organicContinue reading “Deli Turkey Makeover”

Breakfast or Lunch

Salad for breakfast? Yes!!! I wanted to start a trend, but so far only one person is with me.       That’s okay, trends take time. Instead, treat yourself to guacamole for lunch. If you think about it, guacamole is a salad-smushed. Skip the last part and you have a salad that doesn’t makeContinue reading “Breakfast or Lunch”
