July 26, 2010

while browsing ebay last fall for some new vans for my little ezra, i came across a shop that has a ton of cute styles of new toddler vans for only $15. {plus $5 shipping}only catch is that they only have size 5T. you bet i’ll be ordering some for norah when she hits that size. … which could be a while since she has the tiniest feet i’ve ever seen.anyhow, if you order them, let me know how it goes.

poppy seed salad dressing …

July 22, 2010

It seems like on these hot summer days, all I want to eat for lunch or dinner is something nice and cool.  I’ve been consuming a lot of salads to keep my temperature down, and my oven off this summer.
I love salads with fresh berries.  I love to have something sweet to go a long with my greens, so any berries I have always get thrown in to the mix.
This salad is a mix of mixed greens, spinach, strawberries, blueberries, feta cheese, and glazed walnuts.  The show stopper is my favorite sweet salad dressing, poppy seed dressing.  It’s my go to summer salad dressing.
