Tender grilled chicken, lightly coated with a little BBQ sauce, tops my go-to Caesar Salad for the perfect light meal. Caesar Salad is pretty much a staple at our table. We love the garlicky, zesty, creamy dressing over a bed of crispy romaine, topped with a generous portion of freshly grated parmesan cheese. This past weekend, we enjoyed this Chicken Caesar Salad for a delicious lunch. Chicken Caesar SaladYou might be thinking that Caesar Salads are typically served with croutons, and you’d be right. Unfortunately, I left them sitting on the counter and didn’t realize it until I was eating the salad. I think with the addition of the grilled chicken and fresh cherry tomatoes, I didn’t miss them. That is, until I was eating the salad. Oh well, these Homemade Croutons will certainly be topping my next Chicken Caesar Salad. Chicken Caesar Salad

Plate it up, then top your salad with plenty of freshly grated parmesan cheese. There really is no comparison using freshly grated vs. cheese from a plastic tub. Fresh sliced avocado are also a nice addition. Or how about grilled salmon instead of chicken?

    There’s nothing like a classic caesar salad – with or without croutons. I eat them without myself!

Pretty in pink! As soon as I unpacked my Valentine’s box, I knew I wanted to set a table using the small heart plates. I’ve had them for a year or two, and used them for appetizers and dessert, but never set them as a small salad plate. I searched through all my “pink” tableware and quickly realized that all pinks are not the same. I had variations of “pink” pink, “blush” pink, and “lavender” pink. It wasn’t working until I pulled it all together with the flowers. Your tip for the day is to mix and match, use what you have, and if it doesn’t work, go buy yourself some fresh flowers. #dishhoarderproblems

This White Chocolate Mocha was delicious! In fact, it was as good or better than I could have gotten at a coffee shop (and I didn’t have to leave the house). What’s your favorite coffee shop drink?

White Chocolate Sauce
•3-4 TBSP white chocolate chips
•1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
•½ cup low-fat (2%)milk
. . . . . . .
•Using a milk frother, add low-fat milk and condensed milk. Heat until hot and frothy.
•If you don’t have a frother, combine milk and condensed milk in a small saucepan. Heat slowly until hot, but not boiling. Stir regularly to prevent scorching.
•Add chocolate chips to hot milk, stir until melted and well combined.

White Chocolate Mocha
•Into a favorite mug, pour in a shot of espresso. Add a second shot if you prefer it stronger.
•Add (hot) White Chocolate Sauce to fill cup.
•Top with whipped cream (and sprinkles).

Sometimes a simple charcuterie board and a glass of bubbly (sparkly cider or champagne) is the perfect dinner! Fill your charcuterie board with your favorite meats, cheeses, veggies, nuts, breads or crackers, and few sweets and enjoy a quiet Valentines at home with those you love!
