Flavor Combo!

What a blah weekend..it's supposed to me warm and raining ALL weekend long....ruining any outside plans we have....and when I'm home slightly bored my foodie brain goes into overload; watching Food Network, Figuring out what dish to bring for my daughter's daycare in honor of Teacher Appreciation week, putting together a grocery list for the week, and putting together ANOTHER list, this week's Lunch/Dinner Menu..ah!

So I decided to take a break and blog about Friday's Lunch...Strawberry and Mushroom Salad over Mixed Greens Topped with Bacon Bits, Chopped Almonds and a Homemade Poppyseed Dressing. As you can see my salad was a pure example of unusual food combinations that in the end create the best flavors. We have all created a set notion on what ingredients are meant for..example, cinnamon can only be used in sweet dishes, or spicy cocoa??, or better yet, bacon and strawberries?? Yep! Bacon and strawberries..a mouthwatering burst of flavor in every bite! It was so sweet and refreshing yet savory and fulfilling.



So next time you see a yummolicious recipe using a few odd ingredient combinations, work with an open mind and give it a try. You never know, it might become a favorite.

P.S. If you would like me to post recipes please don't hesitate to ask...=-)
