Just what I need, colour and vitamins - Orange and Apricot Salad With Hazelnuts and Maple Syrup

From Lucullian Delights, 4 month ago Similar articles

 So this was Christmas to paraphrase John Lennon and although I have enjoyed it all, it feels good it is  all over and I can get going again with my normal life. Well we have that New Year's stuff to do but is far less labour intense so I can take that. We had a nice quiet Christmas with my Italian family, lots of nice food and happy faces and what else can you ask for'  But now I crave

From Expat Mom, Yesterday, Similar articles

So, today was Dante’s birthday and somehow I got confused and thought it was tomorrow and so on Monday, I thought I had lots of time to make the cake until that evening when I realized I had just one day to make it all happen. Oops. I got up on Tuesday after a long night of no sleep, feeling worn out and fuzzier than usual. I literally had problems reading recipes. Nonetheless, I made an orange cake and a banana cake and slapped them together with some chocolate orange frosting and...

Remember the lavender scented fruit salad' Well, since I had made the full recipe of the syrup, I had leftovers of the syrup after the fruit salad, so I put a tablespoon of the syrup and then added some carbonated water to it. Refreshing and delicious!

The Remains of the Déjeuner

From The Bold Soul, 5 days ago, Similar articles

Finally having time to explore our new quartier this weekend, we stumbled on this restaurant ("Le Mansart") on a side street between Blanche and Pigalle, and decided to have lunch. I had an amazing salad with lemon-marinated chicken, fresh melon and Parmesan. Apparently, they do a brunch (with mimosas!) on Sundays so we'll have to come back some time. And they have foosball, so what's not to love'

lavender scented "summer" fruit salad

From Our Adventures in Japan, 6 days ago, Similar articles

I've had this recipe bookmarked for awhile now. The reason I put summer in quotes is because this salad uses summer fruits like stone fruits (peaches, nectarines, plums) and berries (well, depending where you are). Well, by the time, the stone fruits are here, we won't have any berries in the markets, that is just how our fruits are sold here. On top of that, the white peaches in Japan are

From Frenchless in France, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles

I took a lot of photos on that sunny day in the Marais-it rhymes. Love this window. This lady looked so fashionable with her black outfit with accents of orange. The garden in the Musee Carnavalet-it’s free by the way. And there’s a victory angel there as well. Place des Vosges was full of people enjoying the sun. This is one park where people are allowed on the grass.

Last Dinner in El Tovar

From Here There and Everywhere, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles

Yes, it’s early, and we aren’t all that hungry, but it’s easy and close and it’s the last dinner we will have at El Tovar. They gave us a beautiful table. We order, AdventureMan ordering the signature soup and a Salad; I ordered the French Onion Soup and Crab Cakes. I know, I know, I can get great crab cakes in Pensacola, I guess I just wanted to see how they did them. (They did great.) I forgot to take a photo of dessert! I did take a last evening photo of the...

Another quick lunch in Amsterdam: Pilaf basmati salad

From The Dutched Pinay, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles

Because I am on the road most of the times I get the opportunity to eat lunch outside. Well, I do not make this a habit really because I usually bring my own food. However, there are times that I am too busy to pack my lunch so I rely on supermarkets, or depending on location, a quick lunch in a cafe.Salad grains for lunch: Whole grain pilaf and basmati rice with pistachios, raisins, chickpeas and dill herbs, and some fresh mint hot tea. Salad is a bit dry but I like it so 4 stars out of 5....

Farro Salad Revisited- Changing Seaons

From Over the Tuscan Stove, 2 weeks ago, Similar articles

Often it is hard to know when to change your wardrobe here in Italy. Spring has arrived and the days get longer, more sun and warmth. Next thing a storm blows in and temperatures drop and back to layering with sweaters to keep warm and soup and stews back on the stove. Sometimes there are recipes that I love that I can adapt to the seasons like I do with how I dress. Years ago I learned a fabulous Farro Salad when staying down in Umbria at a friends converted Castle B&B ( it has since...
