Spinach Salad Meets Luxury
I had to read the sign twice- $1.00! One couldn’t beat that. With a quick glance at the expiration date, which was three days away, I knew my dinner problems would be easily solved over the next couple of days.
Ingredients:
- 1 clam shell of spinach
- 2 mushrooms sliced
- ½ cup pistachios
- ½ cup parmesan
- 2 hardboiled eggs
- O Olive Citrus vinegar
Mix ingredients together in a large bowl, toss on your favorite dressing. I used O Olive oil- this stuff is simply delicious. I learned about this company a few years ago when it was on Oprah’s favorite things list. The O does not stand for Oprah, it literally stands for “O” damn this is good and “O” damn how come I am just learning about it. Grab a glass of wine and enjoy.

Mindfulness
My four-year-old son is full of questions, and chatters constantly. I love talking with him, but he’s developed an unfortunate habit of talking to me even when his back is turned. I often find myself saying, “I can’t hear you—please look at me when you’re talking.”
Sometimes I think God wants to say the same thing to us—not because He can’t hear us, but because we can tend to talk to Him without really “looking” at Him. We pray, but we remain caught up in our own questions and focused on ourselves, forgetting the character of the One we’re praying to. Like my son, we ask questions without paying attention to the person we’re talking to.
Many of our concerns are best addressed by reminding ourselves of who God is and what He has done. By simply refocusing, we find comfort in what we know of His character: that He is loving, forgiving, sovereign, graceful.
