I’m all about plain Jane meals. I mean, who doesn’t love a simple salad? It’s kinda like that feeling when you have been away from your kitchen for too long... traveling or on vacation... and all you want to do is get into your own kitchen to enjoy a clean, fresh salad. Am I right? You know, it’s the simple plain Jane salad that we all love — but this time with a bit of a twist with a fancy poppy seed dressing. So, go ahead and say hello to my new favorite lunch.
