Dinner Salad

Dinner Salad

Many days I stare at the open refrigerator trying to figure out what to have for dinner.

There’s just too many meals I have to think of in a day… Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack AND I want to be healthy & creative!!

My husband and I came to the conclusion of not doing “Big Grocery” as we call it. Granted we have to go more often but there are 2 upsides, One we eat everything without anything going bad and Two my best creative days is actually when I’m low in grocery choices.

Today’s Salad of choice is my own mix of what I had on hand….. (if you’re not a fan of quinoa you can substitute with couscous or pasta)

Mix it all up and enjoy!!

Off course the fun thing about cooking is you can always add or remove things to taste….if I had parsley on hand I would have definitely added some in there.

Have fun with your creations….it makes it all that more Tasty!

I hope you enjoyed last weeks series of posts about how you can plan your child’s next birthday with my simple tips.

I still have so much more to add to the theme that I’ve decided to have a follow-up series with more details to birthday planning.

I’ll be posting my best recipes that are great to cook ahead of time so you can be free the day of the birthday to do your last minute setup, decorating and socializing with other parents.

On Saturday I posted the best ButterCream frosting in the whole wide world! It’s fail proof and you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.

Stay tuned for my Vanilla Cake and Chocolate Fudge cake. Both are mild in sweetness and go perfectly with the ButterCream frosting.

I’ll also share a few of my signature savory dishes like “Easy Cheesy Pasta bake” and my famous “Pasta in Pink Sauce.”

Creamy potato Salad and my favorite Asian Salad dressing that’s perfect for any type of green salad.

Finally I’ll also share my freezer friendly Chicken strips and meatballs. I usually prepare loads of these recipes since they’re perfect for lunchbox, quick dinners and impromptu play date meals.

The important thing to always remember is that you’re “making life memorable” with all your special moments and food is an accessory to that!
