Greek Salad a la Dwight

My husband Dwight makes the BEST Greek Salad! It is so fresh and refreshing, light and delicious and a welcome change to the mixed green, spinach, romaine or kale salads I make. It is perfect year-round!

Renata's Carrot Soup

This lovely smooth, soothing, healthy carrot soup recipe was given to me by my dear friend Julia years ago. I have made some changes to it to make it vegetarian and a little spicy (added garlic, lemon and curry powder). Her delicious recipe is at the bottom – give it a try too!
