Mmmmmmm, salad!

Lovelies, I'm not sure if I told you that I am the volunteer site coordinator for my location of the Bountiful Baskets produce co-op.  It is a wonderful thing not only to volunteer but to eat fresh food! (Check out the website, as they are in many States and are expanding at lightning speed!)  So in an effort to diversify my salads, this is a take on a recipe I found online, using ingredients from my co-op:

Pomegranate, grated persimmon and marinated, uncooked collard greens.  Omgoodness lovelies, sooooo yummmmmy!  You may be thinking- wait, raw collards? Yes. I marinated them in a oilve oil based salad dressing overnight, which breaks the hardness of the leaves down to a fabulous consistency.  To me, better than cooking the crap out of them with a side of pork (don't get me wrong, I love greens. However, I like them green and not grey!)
Aren't the colors just gorgeous?

The weather in AZ.....

Is miserable and I love it!  Rain and clouds are always a welcome change in weather for this Canadian!  I love overcast days.  The kidlets are reading to one another.  Life is good and I thank God.

I am blogging from my kitchen, where spaghetti squash is on the stove and where chicken will soon be marinated and thrown on the grill.  I have got to get to the Caribbean store asap because there is only about a teaspoon worth of Jerk marinade and all the one teaspoon of Jerk marinade is going to do is irritate me! LOL.

Sorry good people- totally late for Wordless Wednesday.  I'll work on it. ;)
