NEW RECIPE...FINALLY!

Wow! It has been WAY too long since I've posted a good recipe! Things have slowed down and normalized in my life a little, and with the nearing end of summer I'd like to ramp this blog up again! I will try to be diligent in posting a recipe at least once a week! Enjoy...

Strawberries and Feta with Balsamic Vinaigrette

- 1 package (Costco size) spring mix greens
- 1 large bag of chopped pecans (candied)*
- 1-2 C strawberries (remove tops and slice)
- 1 1/2 C crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 C balsamic vinaigrette**

*Candied pecans: Whisk one egg white in medium bowl. Coat pecans in egg white. Add 1/2 C sugar and a couple dashes on cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg and salt to a large Ziploc bag, add egg coated pecans and shake. Bake on jelly roll pan at 400' for about 10-15 minutes or until hard. Scrape away from pan and let cool.

**Balsamic vinaigrette (because I've yet to find a store bought version worth eating) 1 C olive oil, 1/2 C balsalmic vinegar, about a TBSP. (to taste) Dijon mustard and honey. Blend well in a food processor and refrigerator until just before serving.

To serve, toss all ingredients together and serve immediately.
