Hey Ladies!
So tonight I was on my own for dinner and I remembered one of my FAVORITE salads that is so easy to make and it is SO refreshing. I wanted something light and flavorful that didn’t take long to make or clean up. I hate trying to enjoy my dinner while looking at a pile of pots and pans that are waiting for me.
I opened my fridge to examine my options. As always I started with the veggie drawers. I found a bunch of lettuce that only had a day or two left at peak freshness so I knew that was going to be the winner.
This salad is hot… not in a Paris Hilton ‘That’s Hot’ kind of way. It’s literally a warm salad. I know how weird it sounds but trust me it is the bomb dot com.
I cut the lettuce in bite sized pieces, washed them and threw them in a pan. Remember, it will cook down so use a generous amount. For just myself I used one and a half heads.
Next i drizzled on a little olive oil maybe a tablespoon and a half… to be honest, I’m not really a measurer. I taste as I cook and add the flavors I think are missing so keep that in mind. Please and thank you.
I added a clove of garlic and the juice from about half of a lemon (the rest I put in my water).
Next I turned the stove on medium heat and mixed the lettuce and ‘dressing’ around. Once the lettuce was warm but still crisp, I turned off the oven, filled a bowl withe the salad and sprinkled on a little cheese and pepper. Then I finally watched Bethenny and the other Real Housewives argue in evening wear.
The salad took maybe five minutes to make from start to finish and it was soooooooo good. Seriously, if you are ever in a pinch for time give this one a try!

ALSOOOO, if you didnt know, I am in my LAST semester of nursing school. The first two weeks are intense with 8 hour lectures followed by a HUGE exam… so it is an exorbitant amount of studying. The first tiny test I earned 100% on so I am off to a good start. In addition, my comment section of my blog is on FIRE… I’m talking 40-70ish comments a day (!!!!!) I am incredibly grateful but a little overwhelmed. I PROMISE I will get back to you. I am going to try and dedicate at least an hour a day while prepping for my exam, after the test I can give you the attention you deserve. Also, if the question//comment is specific or personal I will email you instead of making the response public especially if you are sharing your story with me…I think it is better that way. Thank you sooooo much for all the interaction I am LOVING it.
