I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

Summer Spinach Salad

This vibrant and fresh summer salad is simple yet totally satisfying! Featuring good-for-you baby spinach, sweet strawberries and blueberries, a tangy sweet poppy seed dressing and some creamy, salty feta to finish it off. 

Ingredients:

5 oz baby spinach leaves

1 cup halved strawberries

1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup crumbled feta

3/4 cup blueberries

Poppy seed dressing:

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

3 tbsps light olive oil

1 1/2 tbsps honey

1/2 tsp Dijon mustard

salt and pepper to taste

1 1/2 tbsps poppy seeds

First slice the onion and soak the slices in cold water for 5-10 minutes. This will mellow the onion out. Then combine the spinach, strawberries, blueberries and onion. Whisk the dressing ingredients together and when ready to serve toss together. Sprinkle crumbled feta on top. Serves 6
