I adore salads. Fresh. Green. Crisp. Gooooood. I crave them. Yet, sometimes it’s just too cold. I like the cozy goodness of a nice warm meal in my belly. Thus, a salad with lots of greenery, but with the more than welcome accessory of nourishing warmth can and does soothe my soul – not to…

Bunless burgers are pretty awesome. In fact, burgers and meat are WAY better without a measly, soggy bun that simply detracts from the flavor of the mighty meat. Avocado is pretty great too. And, on a burger – avocado is astounding. To create a an avocado slaw “stack” of sorts, can be a little…

As the winter weather continues ~ and the cold air chills my bones ~ I find myself longing for the warmth of the southern California sunshine. (And don’t get me wrong, Wine Country always beckons…always). Scents of citrus, creamy avocados, and bright green produce serve to warm my heart and spirit, if not my physicality….

Nothing is really scrambled in this recipe, other than perhaps my brain. I’ve been super busy lately. It’s as simple as that. I’m losing my mind. Thus, I need a super simple sammy for my scrambled brain. The great thing about the simplicity of this concoction, is that it really can be complex as well….
