this week in my kitchen :: salads & coffee

~loving~

 this time of year

when the greens grown

in my garden

make their way

to the 

kitchen

as dinner inspiration

and continue their travels

to the table

to plates

heaped

with goodness

to nourish the bodies

of those I love

topped with

Southwest Dressing

fresh from the blender

with just as good for you

ingredients

amazing flavors

come together

in the healthiest of ways

Always on the look-out for new recipes

and when I read through this one

and just happened to have 

all the ingredients listed

well...

it had to be.

My destiny...

Edamame and Quinoa

Salad

with cilantro and lime.

I wasn't doing cartwheels over it

but it filled our

bellies

fed our bodies

with good stuff

and

sometimes

that's

good enough

When an afternoon pick-me-up

was called for

I hunted down a copy cat

Ice Capp recipe

that I proceeded to veganize...

it still needs tweaking

before I can

share it with 

you

Finally

 a pasta salad

  go-to

for

 lunch

dinner

snack time...

just about anytime!

Garden to table.

I ask you...

is there anything

that makes you feel 

more

wholesome?
