Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad with Lemon & Parmesan


I love Brussels Sprouts. It might actually be one of my favorite veggies. My husband who is a picky eater even loves them! Brussels sprouts are no longer the boiled gross smelling veggies your mom ( no offense moms out there) used to make. They are so tasty! Give them a quick saute and a squirt of lemon juice and they are delicious!Now, for another way to prepare this delicious veggie.

Autumn Salad with Pears, Pecans and Blue Cheese


Now that Fall is in full swing I thought this salad would be perfect to show my readers since it uses ripe pears, cranberries, pecans and a super easy home made balsamic dressing. You can eat this salad for a quick weeknight lunch or dinner or for a pot luck!

Chickpea & Cherry Tomato Salad


This salad emits summer. Cherry tomatoes are in season in New England and they are so sweet! They are perfect in salads, or even oven roasted in a pasta dish. I am always looking for new summer salads that I can try and this one was super simple, but had bold flavor so it fit the bill! Might I add, chickpeas are super healthy and full of protein. Since I am running from work to class twice a week I like packing simple salads with me so I can at least eat a yummy dinner while I fill my brain of business knowledge.

Red,White,& Green? Grilled Kale Salad


Happy Independence Day America! Although, I did think about it today... wouldn't we sound great walking around with British accents? Saying cheerio instead of goodbye and such. Yeah... probably not, but still it would be cool. I digress. England is great. America is great. Now let's eat some hot dogs and celebrate being American!

Chopped Apple Salad with Toasted Walnuts, Blue Cheese & Pomegranate Vinaigrette


This recipe is in my Bar American Bobby Flay cookbook that I made the chicken cutlets from.This is a great cook book. I highly recommend it. I was introduced to this recipe by my friend Katie who made this for a get together at her house. By get together, I mean a medium came over that talks to dead people came over to do readings for Katie and her friends. Great times. Katie said this salad was a big hit the last time she made it so she wanted to make it again.
