101 Salads

Salads

Have you seen this New York Times article before?  

Written by Mark Bittman (such a brilliant guy), it's a compilation of 101 easy-peasy salads to make for lunch or dinner.  Divided into six categories (vegan, vegetarian, seafood, meat, noodles and grain) there is definitely something for everyone on this list of leafy goodies.

Two years ago I printed these ideas and decided to keep them close and handy (magnetized to my fridge) for constant inspiration.

Which idea do you like best?  I'm torn between number twenty, twenty-six and twenty-nine.  Number ninety-six sounds pretty good too!

Summer Entertaining: Summer Sippers, Strawberry Soda and Your Suggestions The drink that accompanies your good food is almost as important as the good food itself, wouldn't you agree?

I'm partial to Rose wine this time of year (most times of the year to be truthful) and am usually found sipping away on a chilled glass of my favourite variety on hot summer nights. Mixed cocktails are also nice and the one I'm enjoying right now is made with a homemade strawberry syrup, topped with soda water and an ounce or so of lime vodka. Delish! Now, I'm not an alcohol aficionado so it would be remiss for me to offer all of the suggestions for what to serve and how to do so. Instead I thought this could be an interactive post - one...

S'more on a Stick Jackson came to me last week with one simple request: could I please make s'mores for his end-of-year class party? No easy task I tell you, with the absence of both fire and heat in the grade 2 classroom, but I was up for the challenge. I put my thinking cap on and decided to make a deconstructed version of our favourite campfire snack. Think skewered gooey marshmallows dipped in sweet, dark chocolate and rolled in a graham cracker crumbs. Perfect for little hands to manage, I thought the lollipop version of these treats would be much appreciated by the teacher who wouldn't have to clean a slew of sticky fingers. Oh, and did I mention how incredibly easy these are? When making this kind of concoction at 11pm, one generally does look for the easiest method possible. I did attempt this in true Jan-style by making homemade marshmallows first,...
