A refreshing citrus salad that crosses over from winter to spring.

Winter Citrus salad with warmed honey vinaigrette TasteArkansas (c)nwafoodie

Winter is holding tight and not letting go.  So tightly that right now a raging fire is dancing in the fireplace and there is a heater blowing at my feat underneath my desk as I type these words. It’s hard to believe that spring is just short of two days away.

Do you have a “go to” dish?  You know, the one or ones that you know by memory and you simply cannot get enough of it?  I have a couple of them and every once in a while we will have a meal and think, “will this one be the one?”

Do you think it is possible to add a salad to your “go to” list?  Would you be interested in a salad with winter citrus medley of thinly sliced oranges and grapefruit with creamy Danish blue cheese crumbles and walnuts topped off with a warmed honey vinaigrette on soft buttery butter lettuce?

One bite and you will be marveling in the salty, buttery, sweet, and tart mouthful with a warmed finish.

I’m hooked.

If you have a second, please jump on over to the TasteArkansas site to get the recipe for my Winter Citrus Salad with Warmed Honey Vinaigrette (sponsored site).

I think you will be hooked, too.

Happy last few days of winter.

Eat well, my friend. Eat well.

Lyndi

⁠
Ya’ll, this @puretexanchili chili truly is delicious! We ate it right away in the bowl with our favorite toppings. ⁠
⁠
I also made a quick cornbread and sprinkled the chili right on top with cheese and baked it. Super yum!⁠
⁠
I know there are so many camps when it comes to chili: beans/no beans, ground beef/cubed steak, canned tomatoes/no tomatoes, onions/no onions… let me be the first to say that this chili is perfection.⁠
⁠
It seriously needs nothing else.⁠
⁠
Except for toppings and a spoon.⁠
⁠
What are your favorite chili toppings?⁠

⁠
Order the mix by February 1st so you can have it for the kickoff! ⁠
⁠
They ship everything via Priority Mail within 24 hours so, if the USPS is working smoothly, February 1 should be a very safe ‘order by’ date. ⁠
⁠
Great news, the recipe for making their Championship Chili is right on the Pure Texan Chili Mix bag and it is sooooooo easy to make.⁠
⁠
We’re talking simple no-fuss steps: ⁠
⁠
Brown two-pounds ground beef, drain and add mix, add 8 ounces tomato sauce and 10 ounces of water. Summer very slow for 45 minutes and voila! Done!⁠

ad Brrrrrr. Okay, quick question… what do you ea ad Brrrrrr. Okay, quick question… what do you eat when it’s freezing outside and all you want to do is to stay in your jammies and watch TV? ⁠
⁠
And now ask yourself… what do you reallllly want to eat that is quick to make, delicious, and suuuuuuuper easy to prepare?⁠
⁠
Ding! Ding! Ding! The correct answer is chili!⁠
⁠
This is not just any ol’ ordinary chili – this is @puretexanchili Championship Chili. This is chili that has won not one, not two, not ten… ya’ll seriously, this chili has WON EIGHTEEN STATE CHILI CHAMPIONSHIPS!!! ⁠
⁠
This is the quick, delicious, and super easy kind of chili that everybody wants on a freezing cold day when all you want to do is stay in your jammies and watch TV!⁠

Ad. Stop sneaking the spiced candied pecans!” I Ad. Stop sneaking the spiced candied pecans!” I said this not once, not twice, but almost three times before Dennis beat me to it those words all over again. “I’m sneaking some more,” he happily declared.⁠
⁠
I’m delighted that he was enjoying them! I assured him that he could have allllll that his little heart desired… he just had to allow me to take a few photos for you!⁠
⁠
You see these spiced candied pecans are simple and easy go-to appetizers that we should always have the ingredients on hand. For those “just in case” moments when… ⁠
⁠
…Oh forget it! Every day is the perfect moment!⁠
⁠
This isn’t any ordinary candied pecan recipe – it’s extraordinary! We’re adding spices. ⁠
⁠
Not just any ordinary spice – we’re adding @puretexanchili mix.⁠
⁠
That’s right, chili mix!⁠
⁠
Link in bio for the recipe!⁠
⁠
Enjoy!

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
