Our favorite summer salad

August 7, 2012~ Etc.

Over the past few years, we’ve been to many gatherings where they served this spinach & strawberry salad.  It’s delicious and easy to make, so it’s become one of my favorite salads to make at home.  It tastes very refreshing and sweet, it’s almost like dessert!

Spinach strawberry salad


Ingredients:
-1 bag of ready-to-eat spinach
-craisins
-thinly sliced strawberries
-sugar-coated almonds*
-poppy seed dressing

Directions:
1. Pour spinach onto a bowl.  Top it with the rest of the ingredients according to preference, mix, and enjoy!

*to make sugar-coated almonds, melt white sugar on low-medium heat.  When the white sugar becomes liquid, pour slivered almonds onto the pan, and mix.  Quickly remove from heat and separate the almonds from sticking together.

DIY: a thrift find dress to a peplum dress

July 30, 2012~ SEWING

I got this dress at a thrift store for $4.  I liked the color and knew it had potential.   I tend to go through “obsessions” with clothes, like two years ago, it was ruffles.  Starting last year, it’s been peplum.  I already own 9 items of peplum clothing but it’s just not enough!  So […]
