Eat your vegetables

Nice Light Salad
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I had figured out my Christmas menu but was missing some veggies. I picked this and it was a hit with family and guests. I... couldn't find any cucumbers (maybe it's out of season) so I subbed in a yellow pepper. It was appealing to the eyes and palet. The kids even ate it up!Read more

I omitted the cucumber (my husband doesn't like them) and added lemon zest. It was soooo good!

green beans done different
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I loved this for a change. I always have a green salad and was in the mood for something different. This didn't take long... and it was really pretty. I used a bottled italian dressing though and did juice a lemon to pour over. Really good!!!Read more
