Yogurt and Berries with Chocolate Granola

One of my all time favorite lite breakfast meals, or snacks would be a bowl of vanilla yogurt with strawberries and blueberries.  This is so yummy and when you are trying to just make healthier choices, you can feel good about this one.  The indulgent part of this for me is the chocolate granola.  The best place to find it is Central Market or Market Street.  Trader Joes probably has this as well, however - I haven't ever been to one.
I go and just stock up on it, when Im near one of those stores.

Enjoy!

California Sisters Salad

I promised you that I would bring you this amazing salad recipe, and here it is.  While spending time with my parents this weekend they have taken the Spiced Pecan Strawberry Salad to an amazing place.  While in California they were served this amazing version. The dressing  It is actually completely different except for the greens, strawberries & spiced  pecans!
So here is is the totally kicked up version!

For your salad greens, do a rough chop of Boston Lettuce and combine with a container of Baby Greens.
Thinly slice some red onion, paper thin if possible.
Slice up a fresh Pineapple, Several Kiwi's, and a pint of Strawberries. (not pictured here but also a part of this salad are Fresh Blueberries).
Make up a triple batch of Spiced Pecans.



Now for the dressing:
Combine 1 Cup Mayonaise
1/2 cup Sugar
1/4 cup Red Wine Vinegar
1 Tablespoon Poppyseeds
1/4 cup of Strawberry Preserves (or simply fruit strawberry's)
Mix all these together very well and refrigerate before serving!
