Meals By Freshness Factor:
Lunch
Mixed Lettuce, Arugula, Beefsteak Tomato, Fresh Mozzarella, Cucumber, Cracked Black Pepper, Olive Oil and Balsamic.
With Dr. Kracker’s Cherry Semolina Crackers and Watermelon.
FRESH FACTOR: Everything! Nothing says summer like a seasonal tomato with a ball of fresh mozzarella. This salad is simple yet EXTREMELY satisfying. Cracked black pepper, olive oil and balsamic are the only toppings you need!
Breakfast
Overnight Oats: 1/3 Cup Rolled Oats, 1 TBS Chia Seeds, 1/3 Cup Vanilla Soy Milk, 1/2 Cup 2% Plain Greek Yogurt, Cinnamon, Lemon Zest 1/2 of a Banana, Blueberries, Blackberries, 1 TBS Almond Butter, Honey.
FRESH FACTOR: Lemon zest and seasonal berries. I love lemon zest with berries; it brings out their best flavor. I’m not sure why I never thought to add it to my overnight oats! With crunchy almond butter, banana and honey, this breakfast put me on cloud nine today!
Dinner
Leftover Sweet Potato and Chickpea Curry, 2% Greek Yogurt, Whole Wheat Pita Bread, Cilantro, Lemon Zest. Cayuga Cuvee.
FRESH FACTOR: Torn cilantro and lemon zest. Adding fresh herbs and citrus brightens up leftovers. My cilantro/lemon/ginger kick is still going strong!
In other news, I am now on Facebook! (BECOME A FAN!) So why Facebook? Well….because my mom is on Facebook!
There are so many ways to share information these days with Google Reader, RSS feeds, Twitter, Subscribe By Email….the list goes on. Being the family gal that I am, I thought that Facebook would be a fun new way to connect!
But the best part: YOU can post pictures, suggest wines and comment whenever! I love trying new dishes and exploring new wines so send your latest creations my way!!! I cant wait to GET COOKIN with you!!

YUUM – such delicious eats!
Gotta love caprese salads – and breakfasts in a cup!
Such wonderful gourmet salads – perfect for summer.
I just showed my mom how to do facebook yesterday. She wants to keep up on pictures of neices, nephews, etc. I don’t use it to it’s full capacity, but I like to show off some Ava photos from time to time.
I am going to find you on facebook…and I hope you can find me (Monet Moutrie). I love the freshness that is going on here…especially the fresh mozzarella, which makes any salad, sandwich or pasta absolutely divine!
You pictures have looked so good lately. That salad looks so fresh!
