Salad in a Jar



Pinterest is the "in" thing!

Everybody, who's anybody, is on Pinterest!

I'm a nobody.

I'm not on Pinterest.

Well, yes I am.

I'm a ghost pinner.

That's right, a ghost pinner.

My mom is on Pinterest.

She had followers.

She had NO pins . . .

NO bulletin boards . . .

NO repins . . .

Nothing!

So in an effort to keep her cool and her followers intrigued, I've started pinning for her!

It's great!

She's looking cool and I'm seeing some neat things!

Like the salad in a jar.

Not my idea, but I sure thought it was clever.

So I tried it.

That's right.

Made my salad right in the jar.

It was great.

Actually, my girl cherub tried it first and she really thought it was great.

I couldn't let her have a great experience by herself, so I tried it too.

It was great.

Here's the concept.

Use a mason jar, with a lid, and make your salad upside down.

Just pack your ingredients right in the jar -- starting with the dressing. 

This part is hard.  I didn't want to "need" more dressing, but I didn't want too much!

Then I put the yellow peppers and onions and carrots in the dressing -- so they could marinate.

Then I added chopped chicken and topped it with chopped tomatoes and any other wet-ish ingredients.

Sprinkled some feta cheese on that and finished it with chopped lettuce.

Put the lid on tight and carried it for lunch!
NOW!

Either  a  l-o-n-g fork or a plate to dump it out on would be nice to have!

I made it through lunch without either of those and I was rather happy with my experience!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su

 I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there.

It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out!

Creamy Poblano Chicken Dinner

Picture used from "My Recipes.com" My picture didn't look nearly as appetizing! We've been eating this since the late 90's. Oh man!  That sounds like we're really old! This is one of those fantastic Southern Living Recipes that looks really hard, sounds really gourmet-ish, and is so easy! Whenever the Mr. requests his birthday dinner, it's always this meal! He had his 43rd birthday yesterday! To go along with his new "older" age, we recently counted the number of doctors he has. Yes, doctors! Right now in life, it's not his social outlet to visit these physicians on a regular basis . .  .but none-the-less, he has a well-rounded network of doctors that can take care of any need of his, ranging from his head to his toes. What a treat it is to get older. But with getting older comes this meal! Serve this with a green salad and dessert and you'll be the hit of the party! Creamy Poblano Chi
