My birthday was the middle of May and my brother, Mike, and sister-in-law, Debbie, gave me a gift certificate to Crate 'n Barrel. I ordered 4 restaurant style pasta bowls that turn out to be great for salads, too! I absolutely love them and am proudly showing one off in today's post. They were only $10 each and are versatile and gorgeous if you're wanting to purchase anything new to inspire you in the kitchen.
I have been busy cooking lately and have lots of new recipes to share with everyone. I hope you had a great Memorial Day Weekend and dedicated at least one day to grilling out one of my recipes and hanging out by the beach!
I pulled ingredients together for this next meal one afternoon as I was experimenting with a few different foods that I was craving for lunch - hard boiled eggs, salad dressing, tuna, etc. If you ever want to throw together a great lunch for friends that looks like a million bucks and takes 10 minutes, here's your "go-to" post.
What You'll Need (serves 2 - double if having guests over)
2 cans tuna fish, in water, drained, prepare according to directions
3 hard boiled eggs, halved
2 cups spring greens mix
1 vine ripened tomato, chopped
Penzey's Country French Vinagrette Dressing base (or any oil and vinegar based dressing)
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
crackers for tuna
How to Prepare
Equally divide the first 4 ingredients and place into 2 medium sized bowls.
Prepare Country French Vinagrette according to directions (2 tablespoons base, add in 2 tablespoons water, let sit for 5 minutes, then add vinegar and EVOO).
Drizzle dressing over all 4 ingredients.
Add crackers to the side for scooping tuna.
As always, my goal is to help you prepare light, healthy, and simple meals that are delicious and quick to make. I don't want you spending all night in the kitchen - but there's no reason why a little bit of time, a few quick ingredients, and a little TLC can't produce a meal that won't break the bank.
Stay tuned this week for more great recipes - I have a fabulous tilapia recipe, grilled pork 'n peaches, and mexican fiesta dishes coming your way!
And as always - don't forget to email me any recipes you'd like featured in the Sunday Spotlight!
