What-Is-In-The-Fridge Salads

There are days (and pretty often) when you don’t have any special ingredients for a certain dish in your fridge but you still want to make something. This happens a lot about salads for me. I believe that one should try really hard to make really bad salads, that’s why I have a long list of salads that fall under the category “What’s Left in the Fridge”. Just thought I’ll share some of them with you.

Salad #1

Lettuce, tomato, avocado, crab sticks. Olive oil and Italian herbs seasoning.

St. Patrick’s Day 2012

I’ve been off this blog for a few weeks. Not good at all. I would not say I was cooking something special to write home about. I am observing Lent and while there are tons of creative Lent-friendly recipes I’ve being lazy sticking to simple rice and veggies/salads menu. Nevertheless, I am expecting a great guest post from an amazing cook who will share her lenten and yummy recipes with us. So stay tuned. 

Lent is Lent, but there are also days that traditionally call for a certain meal. St. Patrick’s Day is one of them. We were driving back home from picking up the kids last Friday when my stepson Xavier asked if we would have corned beef and cabbage. That very moment I knew my plans for the upcoming Saturday.

Last year St. Patrick’s Day fell on a week day, and we had my father-in-law who brought lots of great food. This year I was going to try and make it myself.
