I always like to show something with color on here and I found this chair photo I took years ago in California-wouldn't this be fun to own? Now onto the lovely lunch menu I am giving you-try these two recipes!

I love to make a spinich salad this time of year and I love to mix the following together.
Spinich
cut up strawberries
blue cheese
slivered almonds
grated carrot
a small amount of red onion
Mix and add balsamic dressing or blue cheese dressing or your favorite
Serve with the carrot bread and good tea and enjoy while hearing the compliments that are served to you.
