Saucy Salad

May 10, 2011

It’s been a busy morning at home and I can’t wait to get over to the bakery! I’m headed there as soon as I type up this post.

Matt and I spent the morning G-chatting about pricing and I made a bunch of labels for our bread racks. It’s coming along!

I got hungry at noon and ate lunch at 12:30 – sauced!

And glazed salad!

It made a perfect salad dressing along with a hint of olive oil and salt

And now that my hunger has been satisfied, I depart on 2 wheels!

At first I thought it was maple syrup on your bread/cheese slice. Seems like a good idea :)

I thought the cheese was butter! I was thinking “hmm…she knows how to eat, but that’s a lot of butter…!”

That praline mustard glaze looks scrumptious! I would be pouring it over everything too:-)

Your day sounds very productive.

Looks tasty! My favourite glaze ingredient is balsamic vinegar – so simple, but absolutely delicious!

Praline mustard glaze sounds delicious. I love adding unique ingredients to a simple meal. It’s the easiest way to spice things up a bit! I just started a new blog, I would love for you to check it out if you have the time.

Your favorite sandwich became my favorite sandwich. I can’t get enough of cheese and jam!

Perfect lunch! Love the glazing! :)

18 Tessa @ Amazing Asset May 10, 2011 at 2:08 pm

I love that kind of glaze! I have more of a sweet tooth rather than craving savory options, and I enjoy the sweet/salty combination the most :)

That sauce looks great!

I love toppings like that, when they go well on all kinds of foods. We’ve been eating our way through a container of tzaziki sauce [yogurt with cucumber and dill], and I love it as a salad dressing, a dip for crackers or chips or veggies, and a spread on bread.

Dr Pete’s Praline Mustard Glaze. I googled it after you posted about it the last time…seriously, I want it! THAT Is my kinda food. Or condiment. Condiments ARE their own food groups, right? :)

I am 100% sure that one day I will be in Virginia (for some reason) and you and I will share a salad and some high five.

It sounds like you have been getting so much done!…Yet still finding time to enjoy the little things in life like sharp cheddar cheese.

Looks delicious! But wait a minute …. “Matt’s Mothersday gift”??!! Did I miss a certain announcement?

Reply

25 KathEats May 10, 2011 at 5:35 pm

It was from my Bear children!

Reply

26 Heather May 10, 2011 at 10:52 pm

I was thinking the same thing! Kinda odd to give a Mother’s Day gift to someone who is not a mother…

Reply

27 KathEats May 11, 2011 at 7:37 am

I am a mother to the Bears. Why can’t I have a little fun with that?

Jessa and Heather, I thought it was a fun Mother’s Day post–you should go back and check it out. Also, Kath previously posted a few times she would immediately post when ‘there is a bun in the oven’ so we don’t have to keep asking. It’s such a beautifully done blog that maybe if you try to read all of the posts, you will get a whole lot more out of it and you won’t miss out on all of the little subtle things. Also, when the children of the human type come along I’m sure Matt will have something more than a jar of mustard glaze :) (which was very nice and thoughtful and looks yummy).

So, I’ve lived in Alexandria for 5 years and JUST realized there’s a Great Harvest 2 miles from our house! How did I miss that?! I purchased a loaf of their Dakota bread. It’s delicious :)

Any glaze w/ the word “mustard” in it would instantly be a favorite of mine… I want to try that stuff!

That glaze sounds tasty! At first I thought it was pumpkin butter. Now that I think of it, that would be a good salad topper!

That glaze on sharp cheddar looks so tasty! Your salad looks nice and crunchy too :)

43 Natalia - a side of simple May 10, 2011 at 5:37 pm

I use straight up mustard all the time for my salad dressing. A glaze sounds even better, though, I have to admit!

I love a crispy green salad in the summer! Yummy!

Lately I’ve been loving salads, smoothies, and overnight oats. I don’t know why, but summertime makes me crave loads of healthy cold foods. I love it! :-)
