Salad

Mr. FBBQ and I were recently in Boston and I discovered Sweetgreen, an amazing option for those of us who do not eat fast food. I’m always looking for healthy food on the go and Sweetgreen was perfect! I liked it so much, I decided to try to recreate some of their dishes […]

Hello friends! I loosely based this recipe on one I found in one of my cookbooks. The actual recipe called for orzo but I decided to try it with spiral noodles (rotini). The salad was very basic-baby spinach, some swiss chard that Mr. FBBQ and I got at the farmer’s market, cucumbers, carrots,

It’s salad time!! A lot of people say they don’t like salads. I think they’re just doing it wrong. Salads are more than iceberg lettuce and tomatoes (though I do love tomatoes). There are so many things you can add to a salad to make it interesting! Grains and seeds and beans and

I think this might be the first asparagus recipe I’ve posted for you! This recipe was so simple and easy to make. It made a delicious dinner! The ingredients are so simple! Baby arugula, a red onion, cannellini beans, and asparagus. If you want to make your own dressing, you will need olive

Strawberries, radishes, and lemons?!  This is an interesting mix!!  What do we need for this delicious salad?  Tofu!   12.3 oz of firm silken-style tofu to be exact! We will also need a lemon, sea salt, a shallot, arugula and baby spinach (my favorite mix), strawberries, radishes, and cucumbers.  I also added some nuts

Those of you who follow me on Instagram @mrsforensicbbq will recognize this from my “Mustard Dressing” post.  I really liked this dressing.  Mr. FBBQ hates mustard, so there was no way he was trying this salad.  I also really love sweet potatoes, so this salad was a winner in my book! To start,
