Viral Small Group Salad!
🥗
I’m finally sharing the recipe for the salad that went “viral” in our small group last week!!! I shared it on my stories, and so many of you are asking for deets, so here goes!👏👏👏
🥗
The salad is super simple to put together, but the combination of ingredients is uniquely yummy!! Here’s the cast of characters:
🐩
Spring Mix (I used 1/2 SM 1/2 baby spinach)
Halved cherry tomatoes
Diced cucumbers (I peel mine)
Chopped purple onion
Chickpeas (I sautéed mine in EVOO until golden)
Sliced or diced Kalamata olives
Quinoa (I got from @publix salad bar)
Crumbled feta
Greek vinaigrette
Drizzle of Balsamic Glaze (I forgot to add)
🥗
Toss together and serve. Folks will rave!!!! Kudos to @courtmantooth lfor sharing!!!!! 🤍🤍🤍
🥗
I used @kensdressings Greek vinaigrette since I was short on time. What is your fave store bought Greek vinaigrette?

When I first started making bread, I quit!😂I thought it was too much trouble to deal with, so I stopped. However, after listening to a sermon at church, I was inspired to give it another try. Little did I know, it would become my newest obsession!
.
There is nothing quite like fresh homemade sourdough!😍If you’re new to bread baking or want to start but aren’t sure how, check out my latest blog post for step-by-step tutorials and tips on how to get started.🍞I call this blog my “Laid-back Guide to Homemade Sourdough Bread,” because bread baking doesn’t have to be daunting.🙌

🌶️🍋🍍@starbucks spicy lemonade taste tes

🌶️🍋🍍@starbucks spicy lemonade taste test!! OK guys, I was intrigued by the combo of “spicy” and “lemonade,” so I taste-tested 2 and came out with a CLEAR WINNER!!! 🏆I chose to try the Dragonfruit and Pineapple. Here’s my take:

Spicy Dragonfruit: Bright flavor with zest and a strong but pleasant “spice kick” that lingers. It was neither tart nor sweet, just refreshing. Enjoyed the dragonfruit pieces floating in the drink. Would I buy it again? Probably, but I don’t think I’ll be craving it or making a trip through the Starbucks line to buy one. I rate it 8 out of 10.

Spicy Pineapple. LOVE at first sip!!!! It delighted my palate with the bright pineapple flavor that paired perfectly with the spice. (Think spicy margarita or cocktail). This one was refreshing~not annoyingly~sweet. It was so fresh and delicious and flavorful I wished that I had ordered a grande (which I will next). It gets a 10 out of 10!!! I’ll be going back for more, as THIS is a drink that I’ll be thinking about and enjoying until they take it off the menu

Have YOU tried any of the spicy lemonades yet? If so, share your thoughts!!!! 😍
