Brilliant Beet Slaw

Happy Friday! It’s been quite the week. Tuesday marked my last official day at work. I packed up the things in my office, said my goodbyes, walked out the door for the very last time, and cried all the way home. Change is hard, saying goodbye to people is challenging, starting something new is a…

Wow, I had such a great weekend, I don’t even know where to start. Kevin and I got lots done around the house, all 8 recipes that I made on Saturday turned out perfect on the first try, and the weather was nice enough on Sunday that we decided to visit the local amusement park…

Spring Fling Pasta Salad + How to Clean and Cook Artichoke Hearts

Happy Monday, all! How was your long weekend? Ours was fabulous. Very long, relaxing, and chocolate filled, just as I suspected.

This weeks’ salad challenge posts: Introduction, Sweet + Creamy Broccoli Salad, Green Goddessphere at Sea, and Spinach Salad with Tomato Vinaigrette I never was big into kale.
