And Happy early Birthday to ya!
I don't have much to report...I just felt like it was time for a posting. I am reading "I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti which I gave to Haute and Holly (but kept Holly's with her permission since she was reading something else for Bookclub). It is pretty funny, a quick read, and there are some pretty simple recipes that I would like to be able to throw together like the author does.
Here is a great Strawberry Spinach Salad that I am going to take to sweet Kristin's who was nice enough to invite us over tomorrow to see their new house!
2 T. sesame seeds-toasted
1 T poppy seeds
1/4 c. sugar
1/2 c. olive oil
1/4 c. white balsamic vinegar
1/4 t. paprika
1/4 t. Worchestershire sauce
1 T mince red onion
10 oz.fresh spinach
1 qt. fresh strawberries, cleaned and sliced.
1/4 c. glazed walnuts
1/4 c. blue cheese, crumbled
Whisk together in a pan the sesame seeds, poppy seeds, sugar, olive oil, vinegar, paprika, Wor. sauce and onion. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves. Cool.
In a lare bowl, combine the spinach, strawberries, walnuts and blue cheese. Pour dressing to taste over salad and refridgerate 15 minutes before serving. Serves 4.
I had this salad at our women's year end church luncheon and it was delish. I also made the cardamon coffee cake today to take to a reception tomorrow...I know I am a little behind. I also have all the ingredients for the biscotti and will be making it soon. Will let you know about the dessert I am making to take to Kristin's tomorrow. It's the mixed berry cobbler. My fridge is loaded with blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and strawberries right now!!! A beautiful site.
Happy Memorial Day to all my sistas. Let's all take a moment to pray for our troops!
Love you all. MK
