4 Days 'til Christmas

4 Days 'til Christmas

The cookies are baked, the candy is coated, the packages delivered to the post office, and I played Santa today at the Olbrich Gardens Holiday Train and Poinsettia Display and got the final picture for my 2010 calendar.

Now if I can just make it through the rest of the week at work, on Friday we can relax and stay home in our jammies playing games and eating Lobster Bisque.

Tonight, fresh, local greens with

Miso Vinaigrette:

1 Tbsp Miso (get it in the refrigerated section of your local health store or coop, or call me...I've got lots!)

1 clove garlic

1 Tbsp fresh grated ginger (I buy a bunch, peel it, chop it in the food processor and then freeze it in ice cube trays for ready to use recipes)

1 Tbsp honey or agave

1 Tbsp tamari or soy sauce

1 tsp lemon zest

3 Tbsp olive oil

1 Tbsp rice wine vinegar (or whatever you've got on hand)

Put everything in the food processor and process well. Drizzle over fresh salad greens, toss well and enjoy!

Don't have fresh greens...better stop by Don's Produce when the Dane County Farmer's Market opens up again on January 9th at the Madison Senior Center.

Bon Appetit!
