Love me a little spicy cabbage! I used a little mustard, soy sauce, and seasoning on the salmon and pan seared it. The homemade mashed potatoes have butter, garlic, chives, salt and pepper, buttermilk and sour cream.

Kale Salad
No I'm not using gloves because this salad is just for me and I don't want to!
Wash and dry the kale. Massaging the greens helps to tenderize and make them less chewy. Then I added in tomato, cucumbers, red onion, banana peppers, bacon, and sweet peppers. You could use fresh avocado, but these single servings work perfectly! Between the olive oil, lime juice, juice from the tomatoes, and the avocado, this salad is super juicy and you don't need additional dressing. Sometimes I add a boiled egg for extra protein. And in my opinion, letting it sit for 30-45 minutes takes this salad to another level!

Vanilla extract.
I haven't purchased it in years! Get you a glass jar, good quality vanilla beans, and vodka, or bourbon. (I prefer bourbon. ) Store in a cool, dark place for 6 weeks, or more. I use it in my baked goods, frosting, and sometimes my coffee. Cost efficient, and intense flavor.

Chicken eggrolls are from Aldi's.
