Im home alone tonight (except for a sleeping babe), and enjoying a quiet meal after a very noisy day. Now I love our family dinner time, but tonight's gift of solitude is certainly welcome.
Since Im eating solo, I resisted re-heating last night's meal, and made one of my favorite salads. My friend Hui Lin introduced me to this salad combination, and I have to admit, its a favorite. Not to mention I have some fabulous blue-cheese left from AJ's trip to Pittsburgh last month. (Bought at Penn Mac in the Strip District...he knows the way to my heart!)
Paired with a slice of the bread I made this morning and a glass of wine, Im in heaven!
Spinach Salad with Blue Cheese, Pears, and Pecans
Spinach leaves
Blue Cheese, crumbled
Roasted and Salted Peacans (or Walnuts)
Sliced pears
Balsamic Vinaigrette (if not home-made, Trader Joe's version is awesome!)
Toss together and enjoy!
*I hope to do a post soon on my bread making adventures...the above bread is so far my favorite in the 100% Whole Wheat category
