First Friday

Welcome to a new day in KilKenney Kitchen.  As I mentioned earlier this week, I will be posting new recipes each Friday along with frequent thoughts about meal planning, tools, tips and techniques. I have to say that mixing things up a bit feels kind of great. I can’t think of a better way to jump into Fridays than with this fantastic Romaine Salad with Orange and Avocado.

I love how the components of this beautiful salad work together.  The crunchy romaine sweet oranges, creamy avocado and toasty pumpkin seeds are combine beautifully with a lovely citrus vinaigrette.  It’s a keeper.

Meal Plan Ideas:  Combine this salad with Tacos Anytime and Savory Rice with Ginger and Cilantro  or a pan of Chicken Enchiladas for a terrific Mexican meal.  It also works beautifully with Pan Seared Chicken or your favorite grilled meat for a quick weeknight dinner.

Blog Tip: Check out the new Featured Recipes page at the top of the website (or under the menu tab on the mobile version).  The recipes are easily accessible through pictures.  You can also sort by ingredient, category and/or cuisine.  I hope you’ll find it a useful resource.

Please keep the questions and ideas coming. I’m having fun bringing them to fruition!
