Happy New Year! Do you all make resolutions? In the past I haven’t, but this year, I’m going to give it a go. (And I’m thinking if I write them here, maybe I’ll feel some sense of accountability).
- Learn Italian. So far, I can read most restaurant menus, I can order gelato… I can ask for directions… but I’d love to be able to have an actual conversation.
- Get some furniture and hang things on my walls. We moved into this new house just about two years ago. If you’ve seen our kitchen, it might appear as if we live in a state of togetherness, but I assure you that every other room has a ways to go. Furniture is hard. I haven’t made any specific food resolutions… but if eating healthier in the new year is one of yours, this fennel & pear salad is a good tasty place to start. It’s light, yet satisfying, and it packs a nice kick. Sweet pears and paper-thin fennel are tossed in a tangy Dijon vinaigrette. Salty feta adds richness (and just a little bit goes a long way). For more winter salad ideas, try this kale salad, this beet salad, or this farro salad!
