my favorite new dishes & chick food

 

my dan is not a big salad eater.

truth be told, he eats no salad whatsoever.

gasp.

if we have a night where he needs to be out at a meeting or an event

& it's just the girls and myself for dinner,

i'll declare it chick food night.

that usually gets a resounding amen.

they love light fare, salads & girly things that my meat & potatoes guy would rather pass on.

so the other day we served up the oriental cabbage salad that's been around the block & has a few variations.

i used radicchio & think i'll stick with the sweeter red cabbage

but it's still yummy nonetheless.

1 head napa cabbage shredded

i add in red cabbage or radicchio

5 green onions chopped

brown 2 oz slivered almonds

1/2 jar sesame seeds

pack of crumbled ramon noodles

with 1/2 c butter ( yeah, i know)

wisk 1/2 c sugar

1/4/ cup vinegar

1/2 c oil

1 Tbsp soy sauce

dress just prior to serving

 

 

a couple weeks ago i stumbled upon these fabulous dishes from Home Goods.

the smaller bowls i picked up last year at Heliotrope in Decatur for you local girls,

but the blues match perfectly.

the white plates are sorta asymmetrical around the border

& have a cute modern italian flare.

i pulled out my painting from melanie

a couple weeks ago. when i saw the plates i knew i had to add them to my collection.

i usually don't keep our place settings out but they're so cheerful

i couldn't resist.

i am loving my narnia sign that i commissioned tara & andy to create.

loving it!

if you have inquiries you can hop over here

alrighty my friends,

i hope ya'll have a wonderful weekend.

the weather has been fabulous.

i'm photographing 1 year old twins in the morning

& a senior session on sunday!

 

but first, i'm off to the dentist where i'm so exhausted

i might just sack out in the chair!
