Finally eating at home!

I'm still catching up on my blog posts so this is a little dated.

Sometimes I just crave salads. Typically when I crave salads like this, I want to go out to eat. I'm always too lazy to chop veggies myself. Well not anymore.

Andy and I have vowed to go somewhere next summer as we like to travel at least once a year and we need to cut back on dining out to save money.



So I chopped.



Tested a new salsa "dressing."



And made a huge taco salad. Ground lean beef, seasoned tortilla strips for crunch, tomatoes, feta and cheddaaaaaa. On top of some romaine of course.



Some avocado slices and jalapenos would have set this off.



I settled for some pom margaritas instead. We bought this at Costco. I am usually turned off my premixed drinks but this stuff is awesome. I love it. I am currently drinking a glass. It makes me smile.

What would be in your ultimate salad?

My dream salad has raspberries, avocado, red leaf lettuce, feta cheese, gorgonzola cheese, cucumbers, candied pecans and a light white balsamic vinegarette. YUM!
