A Simple Salad & Valentine’s Classic

 

Hi everyone! I wanted to share this simple organic chicken salad with a fresh dressing.

Someone special made this for me! So, I made it for you my special friends!

Its so easy and healthy. I will be adding a cooking page to my blog and

also a gardening page,  as well as a few others, With tips and how-to's

I can’t wait to share it with you.

Chocolate Strawberries 118

I try to use organic ingredient’s whenever possible!

Ingredients:

Last nights organic roasted chicken (chopped)

Organic mixed greens (chopped)

Organic sweet tomatoes (quartered)

Organic Cucumbers (sliced)

Simple Dressing:

Olive oil

Lemon Juice

Salt & Pepper ( it is very important to taste as you go)

Sometimes, I top it with organic parmesan cheese,  it is delicious!

For dessert! 

I love chocolate covered strawberries. I feel like I am cheating because,

I eat my yummy fruits with a little bit of chocolate and I don’t feel so bad.

I am sure you all know how to melt chocolate on a double boiler, but I wanted

to share how important it is to melt the chocolate on low heat, slowly,

and use a plastic spatula!

I used organic strawberries and often switch between semi sweet

chocolates and Godiva chocolate. Here I used semi sweet.

Yummy, my son loves these.

  1. So fresh and yummy!

    Another trick for dipping strawberries is to freeze your strawberries for a bit then dip them in that "magic shell" stuff that you find in the dessert section at the store. Its a quick substitute when you need that chocolate "fix"!
