birthdays and recipes

Saturday was my roommate Geoff's birthday! We had a barbecue and it was lovely.

and I made a cake!

being serious about mary blair

Almost everyone who came brought food - really, really good food. One of Geoff's co-workers also brought tons of glass bottles of root beer and cream soda, so I was in soda heaven.

I made this salad for the first time on Saturday, and it came out pretty good! It's a neat alternative to a regular fruit salad.

Orange and Onion Salad:

Step 1: Chop one large red onion.

Step 2: Marinate chopped onion in your choice of dressings (I combined a basil balsamic vinaigrette with a caesar dressing) for two hours.

Step 3: Chop at least 6 large naval (seedless) oranges. 

I decided to add raspberries, too, because I had them in the fridge. :)

Step 4: Mix everything in a bowl

Step 5: Add walnuts and feta cheese! 

I hope you all had very beautiful weekends!

Love,

Amanda
