Corn Salad


I found this Corn Salad recipe from The Gracious Pantry recently while browsing Pinterest and it just looked so beautiful I had to give it a try!

Salad Ingredients:
2 pounds sweet corn
1 large red pepper
1 10oz package cherry tomatoes
1/2 large red onion
1 pound edamame beans
(I skipped the tofu - check the recipe if you'd like to add tofu to yours)

Dressing Ingredients:
4 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons garlic powder
4 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup balsamic white vinegar
fresh basil {which I forgot to buy at the grocery...oops!}


Start cooking corn on the stove
while corn is cooking - chop up red pepper & red onion
When corn is done cooking add corn & veggies in large mixing bowl

Then make dressing by mixing all the dressing ingredients together

Don't add the dressing until right before you are ready to chow down


The verdict: if you are a lover of balsamic vinegar you will love it, if you are not a lover well then it feels like all those beautiful veggies have been ruined.
(obviously I am NOT a balsamic vinegar lover but my husband loved this!)

"Write drunk; edit sober" -Ernest Hemingway I've never actually attempted this, but tonight I am. I've had my wine and if you know me at all it doesn't take much to get my lightheaded & giggly. I'm truly not a Windau (my maiden name) when it comes to my alcohol consumption. I put my catholic roots to shame. I'm ok with that. I'm not a mean drunk, but a purely giggly & say inappropriate thing drunk. Today stung. It stung hard. Last Tuesday we got a call for a little 5 month old baby. Technically we got a call for 4 boys but for reasons that I will not share, we could only say yes to little guy. And then there was waiting. And more waiting because our agency couldn't find a home for 4 of the little guys, they came from a sibling group of 6. All 6. Boys. That would be headed for permanent custody. In my mind all the things lined up. I had prayed for an orphan. I had been learning about how to bond with a baby in the adoption sens...
