February 4, 2015 by overtimecook 3 Comments

Grilled Chicken and Grapefruit Salad is loaded with savory, tart and sweet flavors - making the perfect healthy meal! It's time to talk about grapefruits, guys. You all know I have my favorites when it comes to food, and grapefruits is top of the list. If it's winter, you're pretty much guaranteed to find a grapefruit or three in my refrigerator. That's why I'm super excited to tell you all about Florida Grapefruits. I could tell you all kinds of useful things about grapefruits from Florida.

Carrot Ginger Salad Dressing

October 22, 2012 by overtimecook 20 Comments

Here's something you should know about me. I don't really like carrots. Not raw ones anyway. Here's something else I should tell you. I despise ginger. Especially fresh ginger. One more thing. I love carrot-ginger dressing. Seriously love it. Always have. I first tasted this dressing, like many people did, at a local Japanese restaurant. I'm pretty sure the house salad came with the entree. Oddly enough, I remember nothing about the meal but the "free" salad. Maybe that's because my mother is an amazing cook, and has an even better palate.
