Again, we are finding ourselves amidst another glorious weekend in southern Wisconsin! Just can't get enough of these highs in the 70's with lots of sunshine and a light breeze. These days are so perfect.
In fact, today I may or may not have napped on the deck for an hour…ahhh!
That was much needed after a great night in Chicago taking in the sounds of the legendary Billy Joel. So grateful to have a friend within earshot of Wrigley. We hung out on the deck, enjoyed a perfect summer and with the Piano Man himself serenading us!
I'll take it.
Now, back on the home front, needing to get back to healthier meals…it is so crazy to me that one night can throw me for such a loop…but, it is certainly OK to happen from time to time!
Thought I'd share with you today my Cobb Salad, which would be perfect for a Sunday lunch or evening on the patio.
Enough veggies to make it healthy and enough protein to fill you up! Probably why Jerry requested it.
And, like most of my recipes, the options are endless… just make it work with whatever you have on hand.
Meat, veggies, cheese, throw 'em all together with some bacon on top and you are golden!
The base of this salad was a head or two of leafy romaine, freshly chopped.
I know those bags of salad are so convenient, but the fresh stuff lasts so much longer and tastes better too!
Then, just start piling on the goodies.
One cup of cubed ham.
One cup of corn (I generally use frozen).
Four hard boiled eggs
(somehow I managed to misplace my handy-dandy egg slicer)
Two chopped Roma tomatoes.
I love to add chopped avocado to everything and anything possible.
Done!
Of course, top with crumbled bacon.
Finish with your favorite cheese…1 cup of shredded cheddar.
There was much debate around what kind of cheese to add.
And, most of them will work great!
Mix it up, try new things…what do you love on your Cobb salad?
