but seeing as everyone keeps telling me how sorry they feel for me being pregnant "through the summer", I'm trying to make things that are not... HOT.
Summer time is the hardest time of the year for me to plan a menu, because all I want is Otter Pops and ice cream. That's not just the pregnancy speaking... I usually like those things, it's just that I like them a LOT more now.
SO, on to the recipe I had in mind for sharing tonight.
I learned the base of this salad from my mommy, and recently put a twist on it that I really liked.
Tropical Summer Green Salad:
Lettuce-duh.
Green onion-much as you want
1 can mandarin oranges-drained
Carmelized almonds (toast 'em in sugar-yum.)
A handful of coconut... or more, or less.
Some Craisins
Mango chunks
I know... probably sounds a little weird, but it was yum. Someone else even agreed with me without being coerced into a compliment.
Just sayin. It's not hot. It's healthy. It's tasty.
