I figured a quick update should be in order, considering today is a lazy day and I have nothing of real importance to do haha.
The other night, I was in charge of making dinner while my mom was at work. So I decided to make buffalo chicken sandwiches with a strawberry balsamic salad on the side. The chicken was difficult to cook for some reason... I wasn't quite sure when it was done enough in the frying pan, but after a little trial and error I managed to get it right. The salad turned out fantastic! Absolutely delicious, the perfect balance of sweet and savory, sugary and acidic.
Strawberry Balsamic Salad
-romaine lettuce
-fresh strawberries
-glazed walnuts (or any nut of choice, pecans or almonds would work well too)
-shredded parmesan cheese
-balsamic vinegar
Slice strawberries into bite-sized pieces. Toast walnuts for about 5 minutes on low-medium heat in a skillet, just to deepen their flavor. Toss together lettuce, strawberry slices, walnuts, and cheese. Splash balsamic vinegar on salad before serving, to taste. Enjoy!
The other night, I caught the newest episode of "Ultimate Recipe Showdown" on FoodNetwork. The theme this time was burgers, and even though I don't eat red meat, some of the creations looked soooo good. I was suprised but happy that Harold won the prize, because it was great to see a disabled senior citizen taking joy in cooking and being recognized for his great recipe.
Alright, well I'm off to go relax and take it easy.
Tastefully yours as always,
Brooke
