goodbye september...

i can't believe the summer is over. but then wait... so is september.  since starting my new job and all the craziness of the summer this blog has really been put on the back burner.  i remember reading blogs and suddenly they would go silent and i would think wow that is awful why can't they just say they are taking a break. well no one intends that this will happen it just does, life gets crazy and before you know it months go by.
i used to blog in the morning now i leave much earlier and my work day is very different than it used to be.  and then there are times i miss this space so much.  but some things have to change and some times the stuff you love the most needs to take a back seat.
in any case,  i still love this space and want to get back to some semi regular posts.  i will try my best.
i am still posting on instagram and facebook.

                                       a super fall recipe that is simple and impressive.


                                                                   Pear Salad

5~Perfect ripe pears with stems attached 

2 cups Mixed greens

1 cup Arugula

1/2 cup Arugula, for garnish

1/4 cup pan roasted pecans, cooled and rough chopped

1/2 cup munchkin grapes (or use golden raisins, craisins, dried cherries, dried fig, etc)

1/4 cup bleu cheese crumbles

champagne vinaigrette (recipe follows)

6 thin slices of prosciutto 

honey, to drizzle

Champagne Vinaigrette

1/2 cup good olive oil (I use light OO for this recipe)

2-3 TBS good champagne vinegar

1 tsp honey

1/8 tsp dijon mustard

Mix well. Set aside

Cut your pear into four sections (you may have to cut the bottom a tiny bit to make it stand better. use an apple corer to core out the center of each section.  build the salad and volia so impressive ..
