Do you enjoy shopping the Farmer’s Market for fresh produce? What is your favorite way to enjoy the season’s bounty?
Between leaving behind my family and moving states, being a busy mom and wife, with no support system, being a busy employee, there is no ME TIME. My mom has Stage IV breast cancer, my daughter will be seeing a cardiologist for heart issues, and my recent health scares, I need a slow down, and a pick me up!
As long as there’s Strawberry, I’ll love it <3
This one's look so delish & healthy

I love a good salad. Your recipe looks amazing! Thanks for sharing 🙂
This looks SO GOOD! I’m not much of a salad person… spinach salads are the only ones I can eat! I wonder if you could swap the blue cheese for another type of cheese?
Yes you can easily substitute your favorite cheese. I like eating it with Feta also.
