The photos of your food always look great.
Thanks Chaka. Your encouragement is my muse. I couldn't do this if it weren't for folks like you. Come often.
Yea, a thousand words (or more!) the picture does say. What a summery, vitamin packed salad that looks!
r2s, the thing I love about Spanish cooking is that you can have summer all year round.
Simple, but a combination of tastes that sings!!
Your food is so colorful and pretty. This sounds terrific and so very healthy. Gorgeous!
I love citrus in my salads. Beautiful!
Anything...and I do mean anything...with fruit and nuts, I love. This again, sounds delicious and of course I will have to try it.
Happy Friday Mary. To answer your question as to which I thought was harder to raise...boys or girls...for me personally, our daughter was more difficult. LOL, that's why I said "poor Irene another teenager". She was the rebel while our son was quite easy to 'handle'. You?
This is beautiful! It is a feast just to look at, a trip to Spain on a plate. What's more, it is really so simple. Food at it's best!
What a bright and colorful salad. I love all the ingredients but never thought to put them together. Great recipe Mary.
Anni, male or female, teens go through rough periods. I think there is more worry associated with girls. There are easy kids and kids who are work from day one; I don't think that's gender related - it's more a function of personality. There is a certain poetic justice that comes with grandchildren. You don't have to say anything, you just watch and smile as the cycle once again repeat itself.
Nice click. Kids friendly salad. Very healthy and nutricious.
I love all the ingredients you've combined here, Mary. This salad is beautiful and so full of wonderful flavors.
Mary,
What wonderful appetizing foods you've shown here. The salad is especially appealing to me.
Thanks for commenting on my post about my arthritis. I'm thinking maybe you're right. I get very little rest with my knees the way they are.
Blessings,
Mary
Mary, I'm so glad you stopped by. Please don't be a stranger.
PS.....I tried that little ditty you shared about soaking onions in ice water. Terrific!!! It works!!!
Mary: Your salad looks so yummy the oranges and avocado together sounds great.
This looks so refreshing and flavor-full. Very hard to resist, in my opinion!
