pomegranate granita

Drool much?

Crave much?

Diet much?

This elegant granita allows all three. Shaved ice topped with chilled pomegranate seeds creates a refreshing, light treat.   Sweetened with just a touch of agave nectar, it is also gulit-free.  So drool, crave, and diet to your heart's content!

winter greens salad with honey-mustard vinaigrette

24 is taking over my life. 

Jason and I don't socialize, we don't do chores, we don't answer texts... Our entire being is glued to the tele tracking Jack Bauer's every move.  

Did I mention we don't cook?  Who can cook when this much can happen in a single day? Jack's holding up a convenience store, then he is fighting commandos, next he's running a covert operation in a club?  Plus, Michelle and Tony keep having these great Twilight moments.  You know... The creepy eye contact and heavy breathing... They are totally gonna get back together. I know I'm like 6 years late jumping onto this bandwagon, I know that I could wikipedia it and end the suspense, but... 

I.am.so.stressed.out.

So, I eat salad and keep streaming episodes...

This salad is packed with greens.  Curly kale, spinach, and romaine make up the base. Topped with chopped snow peas, crunchy celery, and crisp cucumbers. All these greens are serious, focused on the mission. They are in there to counter-flank disease and toxins.  They wanna get nutrients in and bad guys out.  While the pomegranate seeds and kumquat slices are more like the sly love interest in an intense tv show. They pull you into the salad, help you emotionally engage, and add a few sweet moments as you munch away. 

Ok, so maybe I got a little carried away with this whole 24 thing...

Err... maybe a lot.
