Besides cake and pizza, salads are a food that never seem to bore me. Every salad is a little different, the ingredient options are endless, and, of course, they’re a great way to pack veggies into my diet.
In the mix:
- Romaine
- Grape tomatoes
- Pickles
- Sun-dried tomatoes
- Onions
- Ranch-flavored almond slices
- Ground turkey
- Balsamic vinegar
Great salad! 
Dessert was fun tonight! 
I had some sliced strawberries with raisins, butter toffee glazed almond slices, and a dollop of coconut butter on top. Sweet and satisfying yet nutritious!
Before dinner, I snacked on a few dried apricots.
Sorry that I don’t have a lot to say tonight. My mind is totally pre-occupied (i.e. Blog Summit and house hunting)!
Enjoy the evening, blog friends! I’m off to bed early tonight. It was tough sleeping with that stupid Holter monitor. So glad that it’s gone! (If you’re curious, I might hear some results by the end of the week.)
Night, guys!

Good luck house hunting and make sure to have a good lawyer when you start the buying process! We bought ours a few years ago and have had a few headaches. . .
I really need to try those ranch almonds, they sound so good!
Good luck with the house hunting!! Great salad!
I love ground turkey in salads, pasta, taco’s, whatever
Have fun looking at houses that sounds exciting.
yay for house hunting! so exciting!
House hunting? That sounds FUN!
Sleep well and good luck with your house hunting!
I agree…. salads are so yumo! I make breakfast salad sometimes. If you add fruit (especially berries) it makes it more “breakfasty!”

I agree that salads just never get old…they always taste different depending on what you top them with.

Hi Tina, i was wondering if you could help me solve this? why is it that my stomach bloats considerably after an hour’s swim? would you have any clue to that? just thought you might, it’s ok if you don’t thanks.
Butter toffee glazed almonds sound amazing! I’ll be looking for these the next time I’m at the grocery for sure.
Hi Tina!
I just wanted to tell you that I love your blog and seeing your eats! Mhmm that dessert looks phenom! Ps. I’m a new blogger so check out my blog when you get a chance!
Have a great day!
Goodluck house hunting! I know how time consuming that can be!!!
I bought my ‘first’ dried apricots last week, and they are VERY light in colour (light orange I guess)…why are yours darker? Are there different kinds? Sorry I’m an apricot newbie! haha
Good luck house hunting!
where do you get all these great flavored almond slices? Could you please tell me the brand. Good luck w/house hunting I signed a contract in May but w/all the country’s forclosures/housing problems our settlement date isn’t until July. Argggggggggg
I have never heard of coconut butter! Where do you find it? I love anything cocounut!
@eileen: They’re Almond Accents! They have a million different flavors!

Hey, we’re house hunting too! It’s a total distraction! I”m obsessed with all our local realty sites and I check them like crazy! Good luck–now’s an awesome time to buy!
I always think it’s strange when people say “I don’t like salad.” They’re all so DIFFERENT! I love salad.
