My sweet friend Trina, loves this recipe. So much so that she has asked me for it at least four times. Each time she swears it’ll be the last but then it’s lost in cyber/text world. It’s actually been a couple of years since I’ve made this salad, kind of forgot about it actually (that’s […]

Roasted Grape and Shaved Carrot Salad and a Bertolli Olive Oil Spray review
I was contacted by Bertolli to see if I would like to review their new cooking sprays, I was more than happy to try them out (anyone who reads my blog knows this is not my norm). Disclaimer: I was not compensated in any way for this post, the products were sent to me (they […]
Creamy Cilantro Lime Lentil Salad
How do I get myself involved in stuff? It’s not that I just can’t say no (although that is true), there truly are forces projecting me into projects, ideas, concepts, improving the community and getting my crazy on. Not even a full month into the year, I have ignored my Confucius Summer dog, who advised […]
Radish Sprout Salad with a Creamy Basil and Parsley Dressing
And sometimes you’re lazy (in my case most of the time) and don’t plant seeds in a nice row all spaced out. Nope you just sprinkle them around and watch them grow, and get crowded, and grow and get more crowded. Then you have to do what every gardener dreads…thinning. Oh how can I kill […]
Slow Roasted Tomatoes and life lessons from a tomato plant
This was it, the very last remnants from my garden (other than a few hardy herbs). My little pear tomato plant was the wonder of my garden this year. I started it from a wee little seed, I only had a couple of them, so I did a germination test. Only one seed sprouted. I […]
Uniq Citrus and Cucumber Salad
Have you ever heard the term “so ugly, it’s cute”? Typically this refers to animals and babies, not to food. And it shouldn’t. Actually I’ve never seen anything so ugly that it became cute. Cats with no hair…ugly! Smashed up face dogs with ubers of wrinkles…ugly. Your newborn baby…sorry moms…ugly (but not forever of course). […]
Strawberry and Jicama Salad with a Lemon Basil Vinaigrette
As I sit here and write this, it is snowing outside and my house is at a not so balmy 50°F. I have a blanket wrapped around me like a burrito, my sweatshirt is zipped to the top and a kerchief dons my head to keep my ears warm. A cup of coffee warms my […]
Glazed Grapefruit and Breakfast in Bed Tips
This is the last in my series of recipes for Breakfast in Bed. In my opinion, I saved the best for last. But then again, it’s no secret, my love for all things citrusy. It’s a simple easy dish, there are very few ingredients that make up this dish, which is always a winner in […]
Deconstructed Pesto Insalata Caprese
Say what? Are my eyes really seeing what they see? Does that sign say ‘Heirloom Tomatoes’? It’s the middle of winter…must be a mistake. But they look like heirloom tomatoes. They have variegated colors and bumpy exteriors, they must be heirlooms. Imported from Mexico….ahhh, that’s right, not every place in the world right now has […]
TKW’s Cobb Salad
It seems like everyone has a dish that they judge a restaurant by. For some it’s hamburgers, or steaks or seafood and in the case of my son-in-law Jodus daughter Leah, it’s the Cobb Salad (evidently my memory is going faster than I thought, my daughter corrected me, she’s the one that judges by it…see […]
