GET ON MY LEVEL.
Blue Cheese + Fresh Spring Vegetables = Obvious choice

My Sunday turned out to be ‘Summer Side Salad’ 3 ways.
Looking back a bit - my family raised me up being a pretty regular church attending Roman Catholic. I was even a catechist for 3 years back in high school. For the past few years, religion has taken a break because I’m not sure what I believe in and profession has taken the front seat. Currently the most important has been the process of finding meaning behind life, humanity, etc. and on top of that, myself.
Flipping this a bit - I do know that when I find myself shopping at a produce stand I’m so ecstatic and grateful to see the gifts our ground gives us every day. It is a Mecca of the pure, colorful and fresh ever changing things in this world. The people I find in these market areas usually share the same simple appreciation. It may not be a ‘church’ attendance, but I feel my weekly store travels refresh my gratitude and bring me a sense of peace.
Warning now: Julienned vegetables by hand are not the best idea.
That bowl of purple packs a real punch (recipe via B. Flay) - don’t be fooled by its simplistic look

Battle wounds of the kitchen
- Gauze on left pointer finger (for a deep cut after trying trying to ‘personally wipe’ all on diced onions out of the food chopper)
- Blister on right pointer finger (from putting so much pressure being put into the knife handle)
- Red palms (fake ‘bloodly’ looking from working with beets)
- Red burn line running across my right wrist (it was a really crowded stovetop with two things of chicken going down - one hot oil - at the same time)
This Dish on this weekend
Friday
- Low Carb/Low Fat Ice Cream : The Secret ‘Main’ ingredient? COTTAGE CHEESE. I have no problem confessing that odd one. It tasted so creamy and delicious I couldn’t care less if it was once a curd.
Saturday
- Mango-Agave Granola : I substituted with dried plums because I simply picked wanted to.
- Crispy, Smoked Sriracha and Lime Chicken Wings with Cilantro Radish salad :(One little girl looked crazy buying one giant sleeve of 16 chicken wings.) I recommend increasing the radishes and celery to this one in order to make a fuller salad
- Pulled Chicken & Bourbon BBQ : Have fun plucking the meat right off the chicken!
Sunday (Apparently Day 1 was proteins, Day 2 is all summer side salads…)

The Dish on this Weekend
-
Spinach Bacon & Goat Cheese Frittata (it burned ‘slightly’ on top, so I couldn’t force myself to take a picture of that. But its still delicious!)
-
Lemon Zest Kale Chips (Honestly, who need to go back to ‘regular’ salty boring chips when there are things like: Parsnip fries, root chips and apple chips?)
-
Boozy Cucumber Coolers (Because its spring and I’m feeling good enough to enjoy these with a friend!)

Strawberry & Leek Quesadilla
A sweet & salty pairing that compliments each other so well when flattened into a dilla’ dish.
