It is the simple things in life that make me so happy.
Brothers who love each other so much.
Watching my husband be an amazing papa to our children.
Witnessing a touching moment between a brother and his little sister. They posed for the picture, but it was what went on before the picture that was so incredibly sweet.
Enjoying sweet morning cuddles.
An adorable puppy dog who started our family…and who, over 12 years later, still makes us so happy.
And, a simple salad (leafy lettuce, olives, carrots, blueberries, and Parmesan cheese) that is made utterly completely delicious by adding this amazing salad dressing to it. It is so good that we went through the first batch in less than a week. We eagerly ate salads every night because we kept craving the salad dressing. I found the recipe on the blog Because Barenaked Chef Said So, and after reading through the comments, I knew that I had to give it a try. Simply delicious.

I shared this recipe at A Little Nosh, Miz Helen’s Country Cottage, It’s a Keeper, The 36th Avenue, Delightful Order, A Creative Princess, Fireflies and Jellybeans and Domeblissity.
I am so thrilled you liked it! I must admit, I just stumbled upon it from a dressing recipe that needed *something*. Glad you and your family enjoyed it.
Thank you so much for sharing it. It was simply delicious!
Your little ones are just adorable! I would just love that salad with your wonderful Italian dressing. I think it must be lunchtime, I am off to the kitchen to make one. Thank you so much for sharing with our 1st Anniversary Party at Full Plate Thursday. Have a great week end and come back soon!

Thank you so much for stopping by. That Italian dressing is truly delightful and makes eating a salad even more of a treat.
I’ve been having so many salads lately because it’s been so hot here so always on the lookout for a good salad dressing recipe. Thanks so much for posting. Just wanted to say thanks for linking up to my Thriving on Thursdays party last week. It’s on again tomorrow (Australian time). We’d love to see what you’ve been up to.
