Spinach Salad



I absolutely love this salad!! There they are a few ingredients that are a little different compared to other spinach salads. Firstly, this salad has bean sprouts and they add a nice crunchy freshness to the salad. I omit the eggs and add a avocado, but feel free to use chopped hard boiled eggs if you wish. The salad is topped with wonton strips for a crunchy crouton topping. I buy these wonton strips at Safeway and you can usually find them in the produce section in bags. The dressing is awesome and really brings this salad together. It has a hint of sweetness but not too much. My kids devour this salad whenever I make it. I often make this salad when I grow my own spinach but this salad can be made anytime of the year and experiment using a combination of spinach and other greens.

Peach Crumble Pie


Most of our families lived in the Okanagan area of British Columbia, so every year I would come home with a box full of peaches and summer would not be complete without a piece of Peach Crumble Pie topped with ice cream. The crumble topping makes this pie extra special.

Fresh Cucumber Dill Salad

This dressing is very quick and easy to make and is very creamy. If you like your dressing thinner just add more lemon or vinegar.

This is an easy dish to make. The peas are sauteed and are table ready five minutes after they hit the pan. Those of you who are looking for new ways to prepare vegetables will enjoy them.
