Yummy Nothings...

Although I am not a studied chef and I have never worked in a kitchen, I would still like to call myself a foodie, simply put a foodie is someone who loves to know everything there is to know or learn about food. I acquired my admiration of food and preparing food due largely to my time spent in Italy. The fresh ingredients, the food markets on the weekends, the way a meal brought friends and families together; what is there not to love about food?
Anyhow, tonight I created one of my favorite dishes! It is a very very simple salad with salmon on top. I kinda came across this concoction by trial and error and picking up on ideas from salads I had had in the past, so I know what I like a what I don't like.
So here is the low down on the yumminess....
The Salmon is very easy: On the stove top, put the heat on at a 7 and wait for the pan to heat up before adding your olive oil or salmon. Before placing the salmon in the pan, drizzle a nice amount of honey (yes, honey) and salt and pepper to your liking. Put the honey side down on the pan then adding honey, salt and pepper to the other side. Flip when you feel appropriate. When the salmon begins to flake, let it! Cut the salmon up slightly, this should be easy because of the flaking. When the salmon is cooked entirely remove from heat.
Here is the salad:
Spinach
Red Cabbage (sliced)
Kalamata olives
Feta cheese
sunflower seeds
tomatoes
red onions
Then add whatever dressing you prefer. I always reach for an organic brand that I love, Annie's Goddess Dressing-a must try for happiness.
Happy Eats and Yummy Nothings!


Enjoy,

Che una Vespa??

My newest obsession and desire is to purchase my very first vehicle. And not just any vehicle, a Vespa! The Ferrari of Scooters! I might even get frisky and join a Vespa club, where we all get together on Sunday and ride around in big scooter packs. The Vespa is the perfect around town scooter, not only will it save me gas, but it will also help reduce my carbon foot print. How could you not just fall in loves with these things? Too cute! Tres chic! Vespa’s get up to 70 to 75 miles per gallon which is easier on my purse as seeing the gas prices are just going to keep a risin’. What do yall think?

Yummy Organic-ness

Shout out to a local farmer: Dreaming Cow Creamery in Pavo, GA! I love your products! Especially the Vanilla Agave! Thanks for making snacking and buying local a priority to us Thomasvillians! Just recently, I am trying to reduce (and one day eliminate) processed foods from my diet and your product makes it that much easier:) When the 3pm doldrums hit and a snack is a must...I tend to gravitate towards a cookie or a cupcake. Now a quick stroll to the coffee shop or local cheese shoppe and get a cup of yummy creamy 100% ORGANIC yogurt!!!!! Give me Dreaming Cow Yogurt or give me Death or Let them eat YOGURT!

Honey Bees/Queen Bee

My new motif

As many of you know for a few years I have had a thing about Starfish ( La Stella Marine). No more. My new little guilty obsession is shared between acorns and honey bees. Anything that has either, I will splurge to acquire.Here is a neat cupcake recipe I found including acorns ( sounds festive, but I dont know about appetizing, but I would be willing to try anything that comes in cupcake form) Here is the link to the sweet site I found it @.



I am loving this little contraction! This is actually a little speaker that hooks up to your laptop! I think it is adorable and really fun!
Decorating with acorns is so whimsical! Always appropriate.
Yummy biscuit molds! Fun for Fall social events!


I need this in gold or brass:)
