Turkey Radicchio Salad
So I missed my Monday, Fun Day post and have been feeling like a real “turkey” for not getting it done. Therefore, I have decided to post a recipe based on turkey. It is an easy, no cook recipe (no heating the oven on scorchingly hot nights like we’re currently having, yay!) ready to satisfy your hunger in minutes. With seven simple and healthy ingredients, you have the makings for my Turkey Radicchio Salad.

Mendocino Farms, El Segundo — Yum!
Food, a necessary and precious commodity — and one I happen to love (sometimes too much it seems as my buttons are getting tighter).

Copenhagen Pastry, Yum!
Ice cream has long been my love. I remember childhood summer days doling out strawberries (one for the bucket, one for me) as my mom and dad created strawberry ice cream magic in a frozen silver cylinder. Since then, ice cream and I have been committed partners. That is why it came as such a surprise when I tasted the homemade pastries at Copenhagen Pastry and my heart quivered — had I stumbled upon a new love?
Holiday Cookies, Why?
Why does everyone want to make cookies during the holiday season? They look so small and innocuous. Innocent little delights to fill your belly…but they mess with your mind! I started out with all sorts of joy in my heart and good thoughts for those who would receive the goodies, and then…
Ultimate Chess Game
Victoria-by-the-Sea, a little town along the southern shore of Prince Edward Island, Canada, is home to Island Chocolates. Each September during the Chocolate Festival the best and the brightest of chess players (or at least those who are brave enough to show up) come to test their skills against one another in hopes of winning the coveted prize — a handmade chocolate chess set and board. Only the winner can touch it. You can’t buy it or bribe your way to it. Skill is your only hope.
