A blast from the past

I tend to take a break from cooking over the weekends so I figure I may as well post some past dinners from the 2 weeks before I started blogging..mainly because I think they look pretty and other people should appreciate them with me :) They were all pretty delicious too so maybe you will have a craving to make them!

We have been on a salad kick lately so there will be a lot of them for a while.  Luckily, I don't make boring salads so hopefully they'll keep you interested.  Plus, they make really good healthy alternatives to carbo-loading but are be tasty, filling and delicious. :)
