Hope your Sunday is off to a good start, here we went from bracing for a major snow storm to having an inch last night to now a boring forecast of rain turning to freezing rain, not quite what I had in mind as I\u00a0 had my slippers,\u00a0 movie list and ingredients to make a big pot of soup ready! Whatever it will be will be, one thing in this world we most<\/em> certainly cannot control is Mother Nature!\u00a0 I am ready more than ever to move right into spring, this weather is for the birds:)<\/p>\n OK moving along to my Seven on Sunday…<\/p>\n _____________________________________________<\/p>\n 1 ONE BEAUTIFUL COASTAL RETREAT<\/strong> Ahhhhh this lowers my blood pressure right way,\u00a0 how gorgeous is this? I feel those gorgeous ocean waters beckoning to me and my toes, so so beautiful. This beautiful beach home belongs to Luke Bryan of country and western fame and has been dubbed “Snowman”….love it.<\/p>\n It is so welcoming, bright and cheery but what really does it for me are those fabulous balconies just feet from the oceans edge!

Great for a luncheon or to make a big batch to keep for a few days as I have done many times. A mandolin is a necessity to make it very thin and that way the dressing absorbs into every little scrumptious bite. No need for. fancy mandolin, just about everywhere sells them now and I am sure you can find one on Amazon. It’s a great little tool to have.<\/p>\n The dressing is really good and I make large batches and keep it in a mason jar. I combined two similar recipes to create my own exactly as I like it. This is such a wonderful, pretty and fresh tasting salad!<\/p>\n Fennel, radish and celery salad ( I double this recipe) INGREDIENTS-<\/strong><\/p>\n 1 bulb fennel (cored and thinly sliced)<\/p>\n 5 radishes (very thinly sliced)<\/p>\n 3 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil<\/p>\n 3 thinly sliced celery stalks<\/p>\n A few fronds (the green stalky part) of the fennel for garnish<\/p>\n 2 tablespoons of lemon juice (I use the juice of a whole lemon)<\/p>\n 2 teaspoons whole grain mustard (I\u00a0 do not use mustard but the original recipe called for it, I perfer without)<\/p>\n Sea salt and fresh ground pepper<\/p>\n 1\/4 cup fresh Parmesan (shaved into flakes, use a potato peeler on a fresh wedge of Parmesan)<\/p>\n DIRECTIONS-<\/strong><\/p>\n Using a mandolin shave the fennel, celery and radish. Put aside, use a little sea salt and pepper to season. Add olive oil, Parmesan, mustard (I do not use the mustard but it is an option) and lemon juice to a jar or container and shake well. Dress salad just when ready to eat and then top generously with Parmesan flakes. You can also add grilled shrimp or grilled chicken on top to make it more of a “meal”. You can thank me later….this is soooo<\/em> good!<\/p>\n 3 INSTAGRAMS OF INTEREST <\/strong>More pretties this weekend, always so much beauty to share. If I am having a lousy day, Instagram can always quickly remind me of what a beautiful place our world can be! Lots of random here from a beautiful party to tantalizing foods and some seriously good words of wisdom:)<\/p>\n 4. INSPIRING STORY OF THE WEEK<\/strong> OMG I love this story, it just touched me in such a warm and fuzzy way. You have to meet the “baby whisperer” also known as David Deutchman . What a special man, and you just know what he does has to be adding years to his life. This story just makes you feel good:)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n
