It occurs to me, belatedly, that since I threw down some sliced avocado action on this salad at the last minute, I could have called it a salmon BLAT salad. But I refuse to use such a gross sounding acronym. I can’t tell you why I’m ok with Salmon BLT, while the mere addition […]
Greek Meatball Bowls with Green Tzatziki Sauce & Pomegranate Olive Rice
These Greek Meatball Bowls are me pretending like it’s Spring already, or something. Despite the weather telling me otherwise, I feel that kind of hopeful readiness this year.
