From the Recipe Box: Greek Salad.

It’s getting warmer out and you know what that means! Salads season! Probably like you, I love a variety of salads during the summer, and one of my favourites is a Greek salad. I don’t stray much from the original recipe, because it’s so delicious and simple as is with just five ingredients. The only thing I do differently, is I put it all on a bed of lettuce and I found some Feta cheese made from goat milk.

Adventures in Restaurants: A Milestone Celebration!

It’s been a while since I wrote a post about a restaurant visit, but to be honest, we haven’t gone out as much as we used to, so it was a nice surprise when Hubby took me out to dinner to celebrate me getting my driver’s license. Yes, I have not had one all this time, and my reasons are so many that I’d have to write another blog post just about it.
