I love to eat. I also have a complete inability to wing it in the kitchen. These two facts have led me to collect lots of recipes from other people. I hope you find some recipes in the mix that you like. Please leave your questions or feedback (the good, the bad, and the undecided) in the comment section of each recipe you try!!

SPINACH SALAD WITH ALMOND BUTTER DRESSING
~ The Modern Day Pioneer: Simple Living in the 21st Century, written by Charlotte Denholtz
4 c. spinach, chopped
1 c. bok choy, chopped
1 medium carrot, shredded
1/4 c. chopped almonds
1/4 c. almond butter
1 T. lime juice
2 T. soy sauce
1/4 t. garlic powder
1 t. muscovado sugar
1/4 t. crushed red pepper
olive oil, if needed
2 T. cilantro, chopped
Toss spinach, bok choy, and carrots in a large bowl. Sprinkle the almonds on top.
In a small bowl, whisk together the almond butter, lime juice, soy sauce, garlic powder, sugar, and red pepper. If it's too thick, then add one teaspoon of olive oil at a time until you reach the desired consistency. Stir in the cilantro.
Pour dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
Makes four servings.
Notes: Brown sugar is an acceptable substitute for muscovado sugar and it's what we use. The dressing is a bit saltier than I like and so I cut back a little on the soy sauce, but it's not salty enough to keep me from eating two heaping mounds of salad when I make it as directed.
