Yummy Summer Salad

After testing a salad sample at Whole Foods yesterday,
I had to make something similar!

Yummy Summer Salad
  • Romaine lettuce, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • Cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Olives, chopped a bit
  • Goat feta
  • Sunfl0wer seed
Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and drizzle a bit of olive oil over it then toss.

Gumbo in the Summer


So I'm not 100% raw — more like between 80% and 90%. Since it's the weekend and my son really wanted gumbo, I decided to indulge him. How can I turn down requests for my cooking?!!
Adapting a Martha Stewart recipe I found a few years ago, I made a few changes: using lemon-herb chicken sausage, omitting the rotisserie chicken, and using fresh okra. Still turned out quite delicious, though I did heap mine with parsley for further flavor and health.
