This salad is the perfect summer dish. It’s light, refreshing, and pretty filling. It’s a Giada recipe, (love her), and it’s perfect as is. I wanted to make it a meal salad, so I added thick cut applewood smoked bacon, which complemented it nicely. Enjoy!
Start with cubed watermelon, and cherry tomatoes…
Sometimes real life is stranger than fiction.
A couple of weeks ago, I kept seeing posts and pictures on Pinterest with instructions for growing romaine lettuce from the stump. Yes, the end piece you’d just throw in the trash.
That sounded weird and intriguing, so I tried it.
And look what happened!
Day 1
To begin, I simply placed the stump end of a heart of romaine in a short glass with about an inch of water.
Day 3
After a few days, the sprouts began. Every so often, I changed the water in the glass.
Well the day has come. The day that I write my first-ever blog post. This majorly freaks me out for a variety of reasons. Namely, I’m a tad OCD and don’t want to “mess it up” and I’m usually really private and don’t know what to feel about sharing my thoughts with the WORLD. So bear with me, here goes nothin’:
It’s March here in the South. Things are turning green (halleluja!). I’m not ashamed to say that I HATE WINTER with all my heart. So, with all the new greenery popping out, we decided it was time to start a spring garden.
Since we have two dogs, who eat and trample nearly everything I plant, we decided to make raised beds. It was a fairly simple process to buy the wood, and drill them together. The fun part was selecting stuff to plant.
