By this point in the Holiday Season, we may be reaching our fill of cocktails and nibbles. Here’s a light, fuss free, midweek meal, inspired by South Texas, that’s designed to give you a break between the Food Court, the office break room spread, and the eighth family feast this month. Just arrange the salad,… Read More Holiday Party Detox | Tomatillo Salad with Oak-Grilled Snapper
Since I’ll be headed to warmer climes tomorrow to visit Demeter and Zeus in Texas, the next few posts will have a different feel. Texas is famed, after all, for being “A whole ‘nother country”. Posts will more than likely contain things such as enchiladas, nachos, margaritas, brisket and Shiner. The stuff that still kind of runs through… Read More Snowy Night | Warm Cabbage Salad with Simple Cod
With all the work that will go into a lavish Thanksgiving meal, the last thing you want to think about is the salad course. I have a simple recipe for you. I scored a couple of Pom Wonderful Pomegranates from my friend Rachel at Hounds in the Kitchen in exchange for a ride home from… Read More The Thanksgiving Salad Course | Pomegranate Arils, Goat Feta, Mesclun

Blue Jacket recommends that you… Read More Locavore | Gretna and Strawberry Salad

Look to the amazing Hugh Acheson of 5&10 in Athens, Georgia for that. Look to him… Read More My Favorite Take Along Salad | Roasted Carrot and Beetroot
I love salads for lunch. Not the dried iceberg-purple-cabbage-shredded-carrot kind. Salads with some personality: seasonal vegetables and a well paired salad dressing are the bare minimum of requirements. Today’s lunch was a take on an original recipe from Jamie Oliver. God love that man for all he’s doing to change the way people eat. Since we had… Read More Warm Local Salad for a Crisp Fall Day
I couldn’t help myself. In light of Saturday’s article in the WSJ, saying bacon is singing its swan song, I defiantly made a tasty fall salad with bacon ends from Curly Tail Farm. I can’t help it if it goes so well with fall apples from Gillogly Orchards and sharp cheddar from Ohio Farm Direct and a… Read More Weekday Apple Salad
