This vegan kale caesar is great! I like to make the dressing ahead of time and toss it with the salad right before serving: http://rosemarried.com/2013/01/06/vegan-kale-caesar-salad/

My go-to meatloaf recipe is a Fennel and Kale Meatloaf with Bacon. It's the perfect comfort food! - http://rosemarried.com/2011/07/05/fennel-and-kale-meatloaf-with-bacon/

Thanks for the kind words, everyone!!!

Debbie, the wall shelf is a Norden Occasional Table from IKEA (http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60045393/). It works perfectly for a bit of extra coutner and storage space in my kitchen!

My husband makes the Morganthaler recipe all the time, and we can't go back to "normal" tonic. This stuff is SO good. Mind you, this makes a tonic "syrup" and you have to add soda water (and gin, of course). Cinchona bark is hard to come by, but it is the natural source of quinine and I think it makes this particular tonic recipe special (you can order it online, though!).

Oh, and note about this tonic -- it will make your gin & tonic (or vodka) look a little bit "muddy" as opposed to the clear tonic everyone is used to. Fear not, this is how it is supposed to look. But, it tastes fabulous.

This chair is fab.

I use the radish leaves to make pesto, and then slice the radishes (among other things) into a pesto pasta salad!

Such a helpful post. Love this. I've not seen a few of these, so I'll definitely add them to my queue!

Also, if you dislike/disagree with the suggestions in this post, you should give your own helpful suggestions rather than give the editors a hard time. Just a thought! :)

A spring pesto pasta salad - with peas, asparagus, mint, etc. You can make it creamy w/ nonfat greek yogurt (or skip yogurt entirely). And I generally use whole wheat noodles. Its my go-to potluck dish. :)

I love, love love deviled eggs...so much so that I own not one, but two vintage deviled egg plattesr. :) Here are a few of my faves:
*Deviled quail eggs with wasabi and lemon (photo: http://rosemarried.wordpress.com/2011/03/11/a-trio-of-quail-eggs/)
*Harissa deviled eggs with parsley and greek yogurt: (recipe)http://rosemarried.wordpress.com/2010/10/17/harissa-deviled-eggs/
*Deviled eggs with smoked salmon, creme fraiche and spicy mustard (sadly I don't have a recipe for this one!)

I gave out homemade mustard for Christmas gifts this year! Mine was a Spicy brown mustard (that uses dark beer...mmmm). (Recipe: http://rosemarried.wordpress.com/2010/12/07/a-handmade-holiday-and-a-recipe-for-spicy-brown-mustard/)

I can't wait to try these!
