Mon mari needs his carbs at every meal.
Often, with salads, he’ll have bread. Sometimes, though, I add the carbs to the salad, either as a grain (rice, quinoa) grilled potatoes or even pasta.

Last post I had faux Thousand Island Dressing; this time it’s faux French Dressing
I have no idea what the history of French Dressing is but, trust me, no self-respecting French cook would ever put ketchup in their vinaigrette.

We’ve been eating this grilled pork chop and spinach salad for years, at least two or three times every summer.

The tomatoes and beans and squashes … Continue reading.....
This has been our favorite spinach salad for years. I can’t believe I’ve never posted this before.
If I remember correctly the dressing was from a Bon Appétit magazine and was meant for a fruit salad.
I don’t see it for fruit…..
And, if I … Continue reading.....
