Summer time Salads . . ..

I love how summer arrives and so does salad season. 

I remember as a teen thought a salad was Iceberg lettuce, shredded cheese, croutons, turkey sandwich meat and a ton or ranch dressing. Never feeling very full.  Now Salads are so different! I fill my bowl full of so many colorful and nutritious ingredients.

My Salad for lunch today was

Chopped Kale, Brussels Sprouts, & Cabbage

Then added Beets, Hard Boiled Eggs, Avocado and

topped with Cilantro Avocado Dressing.

Today's salad is a reminder that there is so much more than Iceberg lettuce!

A few greens to try . . .

Kale

Cabbage

Spring Mix

Romaine

Spinach

Broccoli Rabe

Collard Greens

Next time when at the farmers markets or your grocery store take a little time to find a new green to try next in your salads. 

Whats your favorite Salad? 

A few of my favorite things . . . .

I wanted to start sharing a "few of my FAVORITE things"

This past Christmas my girlfriend and I exchanged gifts but we exchanged our "FAVORITE" things.

I remember having so much fun thinking of my favorites, really putting thought into her gift. 

My gifts from her ranged from Franks Red hot, Tea, a Big Basket and so much more. 

This gave me the thought I need to share with the things I love! 

BEETS, they have become a recent LOVE! Beets on a bed of Kale is delish. 

 SPIN CLASS, I tried it a few years ago and then took a break, I recently went back and remembered how much I loved to spin! Now I try to attend once per week. I love getting on the bike and someone else kicking my butt.

For almost 4 years my super foods nutritional supplements! I will not live a day with out this. This is my favorite combo.

Bolthouse Dressing! This a yogurt based dressing, I love it for salads and I use it as a dip. 

I am excited to be sharing
