Wow. My days of salad are starting to blend together. My “100 Days” will be far more than 100 by the time I get to the number 100 in the blog entries. This is mostly a function of salad redundance. My goal is to inspire, not bore.
So for this salad, the two exciting elements were the [...]

23. Enlighten Salad from Thrive
By admin in Lunch/Snack Salad, Raw, Vegan, VegetarianEver walk into an unknown restaurant and immediately know you’ve entered one of your new favorite places? This happened today to me at Thrive.

15. Fresh Rolls
By Anne in Asian-Inspired, Vegan, VegetarianNope, didn’t make these. The number of degrees on our daughter’s thermometer has an inverse relationship with the number of minutes we spend in the kitchen. In other words, she had a fever today and we ordered takeout. Man, I love Thai food. And I love salads gift-wrapped a go-go. More time to spend snuggling on [...]

13. Lentil Spinach Salad
By Anne in Lunch/Snack Salad, Vegan, VegetarianThis salad was just perfect. I had a few extra minutes while I was doing other things, so I threw some lentils in a pot with stock, carrot, onion, celery, bay leaf, and thyme, then I cooked them for about 45 minutes. They were so great with the crunchy cold veggies! The tart lemon and [...]
