Strawberry Spinach Salad


This is my favorite salad EVER!  It was actually the first recipe ever posted on this little old blog, but it was badly in need of of new picture.  I've also updated the recipe a little including the recipe I use for sugared almonds.  If you haven't tried this out yet, here's your chance.

Strawberry Spinach Salad
Baby Spinach
Sliced Strawberries (fresh not frozen)
Feta Cheese
1/2 cup slivered almonds
3 TBSP granulated sugar

To make the sugared almonds place the almonds and sugar in a medium sized skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the almonds are lightly toasted.  Pour onto parchment paper and let cool to room temperature.  Break into small pieces if needed.

Toss a few handfuls of spinach into a salad bowl.  Slice a few strawberries over the spinach.  Sprinkle with Feta and almonds as desired.  Drizzle with Poppy Seed Dressing.

Poppy Seed Dressing
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp ground mustard
1/3 cup red wine vinager
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 cup chopped white onion
1 cup canola oil
1 tsp poppy seeds

Combine everything in a blender EXCEPT poppy seeds. Stir in poppy seeds .

Enjoy!

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Chocolate Covered Cream Balls

Several years ago, I sampled a Milk Chocolate Coconut at See's Candies.  It was love at first bite.  Ever since then I have made a mandatory stop every time I went into the mall to get one of these delicious chocolates.  I love them so much !  However, there are two things I didn't like about them.  1) I had to go to the mall to get them, and 2) they are SO expensive.  I think the last time I was there I paid about 75 cents for 1 chocolate.

Healthier Chocolate Banana Muffins

 I know, I know.  We already have like 5 banana muffins posted on this blog.  I have put off posting this recipe because of that fact, but here's the thing.  While those muffins are all delicious and great in their own way, when I have ripe bananas you know I'm either making these muffins or banana bread.  More often, these muffins because they are perfect for a grab and go snack or breakfast.  My family LOVES these muffins! They have such a deep chocolate flavor and are so moist.  What my family doesn't think about, but I love, are that these muffins are healthier than your average muffin.  They are made with whole wheat flour, coconut oil, greek yogurt for extra protein, and have less sugar that most other muffins.  These are best warm (they can be reheated in the microwave for 10 seconds) and those bites with melted chocolate chips are the absolute best!
