Roasted Grape Panzanella Salad
Do you ever find yourself thinking, “Oh yeah! I forgot how much I love (insert random thing here)!” I do this quite often. It could be the random article of clothing that got stuffed in the back of the closet, a book I read halfway through before getting distracted… It happens. But for me it […]
Shaved Fennel and Melon Salad
If you live in most parts of the Northern Hemisphere, this is probably just what you need right now. A light and refreshing salad with fresh herbs and a jalapeño kick! Right?? Unless, like me, you live in San Francisco… In which case we can totally enjoy all the benefits of this salad next month […]
Celery & Parmesan Salad
I recently mentioned my unshakable love for all things celery, and my love for Ina Garten is no secret. So when I saw her make this salad a few years back on Barefoot Contessa, it should come as no surprise that it was the very next thing I made. It was delicious. And I didn’t […]
Roasted Beet and Lentil Salad
I guess I can see why some people aren’t down with beets. They’re a bit funky looking, and most people seem to have some unpleasant childhood beet memories. Just like peas, lima beans and brussels sprouts before them, beets get tossed in the mental “icky healthy food” bin without a fair fight! You can’t just […]
Roasted Butternut Squash Salad
Even though it was 80-some-odd degrees outside when I made this salad, I can safely say that I am now fully and officially into fall. My tea supply has been restocked. I got a new pair of fuzzy pajama pants. I’ve got my stack of Thanksgiving themed magazines piled up on my nightstand. Did I […]
Charred Corn Salad
Let’s consider this step one of incorporating real food back into my diet. A week of awesome vacationing/eating in San Diego was directly followed by a week of sickness/sleeping, during which the most solid food I ate was an antibiotic. Yesterday I was able to stand up long enough to leave the house, so I […]
Mango & Jicama Salad
This salad seems entirely appropriate coming off the heels of a serious Breaking Bad addiction in this household. Super serious. Three weeks ago, the hubs innocently suggested we start watching it, probably thinking we’d be able to continue on with life as usual afterward. Oh no. In that time, we blew threw all 4 seasons with […]
Mom’s Lemony Caesar Salad
Oh, hello again! That brief recess in posting was brought to you by my best friend – Patrice! She came to visit for 5 magnificently lazy days filled with gluttony, bad TV, even worse movies, and some short-lived adventuring in and around Mountain View. We even made up a couple of cocktails! One of which […]
