Strawberry Vinaigrette Salad

This salad takes 2 seconds to make and is pretty tasty- good use for the spinach! (I didn't have the worcestershire sauce and it still tasted fine, also didn't have almonds, haha or poppy seeds). I also did not put the dressing right on the salad- I just scooped it onto the salad on the plate- there was a ton of dressing leftover!

1 lb spinach
1/2 lb romaine lettuce
1 1/2 cups strawberries
Almonds, slivered

Dressing:
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/2 tsp minced onion
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup olive oil
1 TB sesame seeds
1 TB poppy seeds

Enjoy!

Veggie Lasagna

I made an all veggie lasagna tonight. I took a traditional lasagna recipe and threw in chopped up spinach and bok choy and some pea tendrils from my CSA. The spinach and bok choy were a good idea, but the pea tendrils were gross. I had read that you can use them anywhere you would use spinach, but that is a lie! They were nothing like spinach and actually tasted like burnt hair. Better luck next time.

I had repeated success with my 2nd round of broccoli and bok choy stromboli, largely due to the addition of my most favorite food in the ENTIRE world... BACON!! I made several stromboli to freeze and even managed to eat one for lunch today. Yum!

Eventually, I am going to need to find recipes for cooking veg that do not involve cheese, but for now I am just happy to be making things with green ingredients! Small steps people, bok choy is a big deal!
