Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
Winter Citrus Salad with Pomegranate and Fennel is pretty and festive, and full of antioxidants!
I love December so much; the chilly days and first snowfalls (depending on where you live, that is), comfort food dinners, and anticipation of the upcoming holidays. But one thing I really start to miss this time of year is sunlight; with sunset at 4:50PM here on the Winter Solstice, you can understand why, right? So I get my sunshine fix in other ways; namely, citrus!…
The only kind of juice Mike likes is carrot. I don’t like to make it for him every day (a friend of a friend’s cousin’s mom swears that her baby turned orangish from feeding her carrots every day!), but I make him a fresh glass of it a couple times a week in the morning when I make my own juice blend....
This recipe was developed for #McCormickTacoNight and this post is sponsored by McCormick; as always, opinions are my own. We all know it’s not polite to stare at people eating, but have you ever stolen a glance? Truthfully, it’s hard not to notice the way a person eats when they’re sitting next to or across from you; it’s interesting, and I think you can tell a lot about someone by the way they make and eat a plate of food....
Time can be a funny thing. Sometimes when life gets hectic I’ll be racing along, thinking I have just enough time to finish what I need to do, with tunnel vision for the task I’m working on. I settle into the mindset that I barely have a moment to spare, especially if it’s to take time to do something trivial like enjoy a cup of tea....
Endive-Citrus Slaw is bursting with bright flavor and nutrition. If you want to make someone’s day, send them a package of goodies, but don’t tell them that you’re sending it. Expect an elated email or phone call from the recipient within the next couple days. Last Thursday I made a quick produce run to the grocery store (I was out of oranges to feed Mike’s addiction and spinach to feed mine) and was back within 20 minutes. When I got home there was a note stuck on the door from the UPS guy saying he had tried to make a delivery…I wasn’t even expecting anything!...
