What's Better Than a Fresh Salad from Your Garden?

written by Yvonne

You've read about one addition to the Brown-Davidson family; our new dog Olive. The same weekend we got Olive there was another addition to the family; a 5-Qt Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer. Because of the great pricing, we were also able to get the pasta maker attachments.

Fresh pasta is some good eats, let me tell you.  We made one batch of dough and split it into two parts.  Half we ate that night for dinner and the other half we dried in "nests" and tossed into the freezer for another time.


But even more exciting than that was dinner last night. I cut two varieties of lettuce and spinach from the garden - enough to make four big salads. Pictured below are: Cimmaron Romaine (bottom left), Four Seasons (upper middle), and Spinach (right).

Once everything was cleaned and weighed, I mixed them all together for a super scrumptious salad!
