FOOD!

Food is on my mind. During our first day of summer vacation, it is 64 and cloudy. Jay and I were just working in the yard, and I picked some peas. We really aren't pea eaters, but I found this delicious recipe for pea stuffed raviolli on a great new website. Well, new to me anyway. I wanted to share it.

And while I was sharing, I told a few of you I would send you the recipe for Jill's crazy girl salad. I also thought you others may like it. I know I always welcome a new recipe.!



here it is:

Crazy Girl Salad- named by ME!!!



8 oz spinach

1 head iceberg lettuce

1 cup shredded swiss

1 c cashews

1/2 lb bacon cooked and crumbled

2-3 apples cut



Dressing:

1 cup oil

3/4 c sugar

1/3 c vinegar

1 t salr

1 t dry mustard

1/2 T chopped onion

1/2 T poppy seeds.



as you know I alwasy change recipes to be easier for me, and based on what I have on hand. Here is what I have done numerous times, and it was still a hit.

I used whatever lettuce, spinahc I had on hand- lately that being fresh from the garden

I used shredded parmessan- it reminds me of swiss, or at least close enough. But not the powdery stuff!!!!

I used bacon crumbles from the fridge.



I make a smaller batch of salad, but a full batch of dressing. I have this really cute bee hive dressing bottle from Dollar Tree. The dressing keeps, then all I have to do is re-assemble the ingredients. Hope you enjoy!
