Red Sorrel and Arugula Salad with Avocado and Orange - Sass & Veracity. I live in an area that is perfect for growing just about anything all year long if one can forget the pesky dilemma of drought we’ve endured for the past many years. I’ve been a reasonably capable gardener most of my life — thanks to my mother who most likely could grow a stick in the Sahara — so I’ve always had plants that needed tending. Whether they were house plants, everyday geraniums, or wildflowers I grew from seed scattered over moist soil, I’ve enjoyed the peace that has come from caring for them. Fast forward about 10 years. I no longer have any property to speak of to plant things in; instead, I have what I’ll call an extended patio that wraps around one and a half sides of our house. It all seemed so wonderful when we bought it, not to have to worry about fixing a leaky roof or painting it, and for the most part, I still agree.

But there are days when I long for a yard — or at least a yard that is more than eight feet wide. Nice. Salad Ingredients a palm full of red sorrel. Low-Carb Greek Cabbage Salad.

Baked Sweet Potato Bar. After my previous post about making a Baked Potato Bar, it occurred to me that it would be fun to do the same thing using sweet potatoes. In an effort to load my meals with more nutritious vegetables, I'm trying whenever possible to substitute sweet potatoes for white potatoes.

Even though white potatoes have nutrition value of their own, the sweet version has so many more health benefits. Sweet potatoes are #1! They are a complex carbohydrate loaded with Vitamin A (in the form of beta-carotine), Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, and fiber. They are rich in antioxidants, potassium, and iron. They really are one of the most nutrition-packed veggies you can eat. Here's how I prepare my sweet potatoes and ideas for toppings.
