Shave Brussels Sprouts Salad with Orange Vinagrette

I don’t know about you but between the binge eatings that happen during the holidays, I like to try to keep my diet as clean as possible (it doesn’t always work out that way but I really give it the ole college try).

Anyway, this week I happened to find myself with a large amount of brussels sprouts and created a yummy salad. I have no idea why I purchased some many of these healthy little nuggets but after making this salad, I sure am glad I did!READ MORE

Marinated Tomato Salad

Marinated Tomato SaladLooking for something to do with all of those tomatoes from the garden? This recipe is just the thing!

Both my father and grandfather in-law have gardens that they have been cultivating year and year for as long as my husband can remember. Though the gardens have gotten smaller as the years have gone by, they are still both going strong. It’s wonderful to be able to benefit from home grown food without having the time or space to be able to do it myself (I’ll stick to my herb garden for now). But since they both have healthy gardens and a small family, we all get an abundant amount of tomatoes come harvest time. It’s wonderful but this year I found myself trying to figure out an easy, tasty way to consume these delicious red veggies so I decided to make a simple, easy salad that highlighted the nutrition and taste of home grown goodness. I am also a lover of vinegar so I had to be sure to add that in and the result was a great salad that we love!
