Blessings Darlings!
I've finally reached a GOOD milestone in my work on improving my eating habits. For the first time .... I bought a big ol' 1 pound box of organic spring mix AND WE ATE IT ALL BEFORE IT WENT BAD.
Salads at dinner for everyone. Salads as lunch or breakfast for me. Salads anointed with hard boiled eggs, or lentils, or leftovers, or whatever. It took work and planning - I'm hoping that this gets more automatic over time.
Next trip to the store I need to remember to get some fresh mozzarella for salads (as well as for pizzas), because Suz had one with that and drizzled balsamic vinegar that was AMAZING when we were out on Monday. And today I'll roast portabellas and potatoes to re-create the salad I had while out ... wait, I'll need some feta for that, so that might wait. I guess I'll just make some more lentils.
No, my weight isn't better. And, yes, the spring mix was in a plastic box, and I have NO idea where they were grown. So it didn't help all of my green and Pagan and Wiccan and health and environmental goals.
Frondly, Fern

Salad Daze! CROUTONS
It's feeling a lot like spring - meaning in part that my spawn is having allergy problems. No matter - MY mind is turning to spring greens.
And my spring greens get topped with croutons. A day without croutons is like a day without bacon ... rather literally, since I use bacon grease (and bacon when I have some) to make the croutons.
5 slices of thick cut bacon, in about a 1/3 inch dice
About a quart of stale bread, about 1/2 inch cubes
Salad seasonings of your choice - I usually use whatever Mrs Dash flavor sends me any given day
Extra bacon grease if you want.
Maybe some sesame seeds or poppy seeds, if you like.
Saute the bacon till crisp. Remove bacon and set aside. Stir bread cubes into bacon fat. Put greased bread cubes on baking tray, and bake at about 350 till golden brown and delicious. Toss salad seasonings on bread cubes. Throw reserved bacon in. Put in covered container. Put on salad in whatever amounts you like.
Enjoy!
