Hi Everyone! Happy New Year! I've kind of been slacking on my blog the past couple of weeks, but we traveled to Minnesota, and I took a little break to enjoy quality time with family and friends back in my hometown.
For whatever reason, I was constantly eating while I was home (I'll blame my mother). So many yummy treats (fudge, cookies, cake...) and my self control was completely AWOL. But now that I'm back on my home turf, I'm ready to get back to healthier eating.
The first post of the New Year, I have to admit, isn't even a personal recipe, but one I got from Martha Stewart. It's a chicken salad with apple, beets and pomegranate. Look at that picture! It was gorgeous, and I just had to make it.
It did not disappoint. Even my youngest, pickiest son ate it (well, the chicken and the greens and the apples -- I separated them out for him), but he did like the dressing. I love this because it's bright (from the orange vinaigrette), crunchy (from the pomegranate seeds and apples), and satisfying (from the roasted beets and chicken). I also felt pretty healthy eating it, so even bigger bonus!
Hope you enjoy this salad as much as I did. I promise I'll be back soon with something a little more original (or at least the entry I intended to post while I was in Minnesota -- dated but still tasty). :-)
