A belated happy
Thanksgiving to all the wannabe foodies!
I was blessed to have
a beautiful, mellow, tasty holiday with my parents, my brother Albert and
Wesley.
Mellow being my
favorite part of the day.
This year my family
decided that since it was a small, food loving group, instead of doing the
traditional turkey feast, we would make a meal of all the things we never have
time to cook. The highlights being the lobster ravioli in tomato cream sauce,
duck and fig ragu and homemade pasta.
I was a little worried
that since we wouldn’t be surrounded by all our friends and family this year
that things wouldn’t feel very holidayish. But after six hours of fun in the
kitchen with my boyfriend and my brother, I realized that I had so much to be
thankful for whether I was with two or twenty of my nearest and dearest.
How lucky am I to have
a job, and still have time to do what I really love. How blessed to have happy
and healthy family and friends. How thankful to live in a beautiful place and
have everything I need to get by.
It doesn’t matter how
you celebrate your thankfulness, just that you are thankful.
This salad was like my
Thanksgiving. Delicious and mellow. Nothing fancy. Just simple ingredients
coming together to make something tasty.
You will need…
6 cups baby spinach
2 green apples,
chopped
¼ cup chopped walnuts
¼ cup crumbled blue
cheese
½ cup red wine vinaigrette
In a large salad bowl,
combine the spinach, apples, blue cheese and nuts.
Drizzle the salad with
the vinaigrette.
Toss and serve.
