I figured out that there are 224 calories per serving, if 6 servings are made. (Please note that the calorie
counts vary depending on the specific brands of ingredients that you choose to
use.)
I have a guest chef today. I do not eat
spinach or most “green” foods so my Mom, Norma Connelly, volunteered to review
this gem.
Today’s
critics:
Mom
said that it was similar to other recipes but a little different due to the
sautéed onions and mushrooms. She said she would definitely make it again
because it was “very good”. The
only problem was that there was very little dressing on the salad because it
all ran to the bottom of the bowl. She said she would make additional to serve
at the table. She had a great
response from my aunts and uncles who came for lunch at her home.
Trivial Triffles
I was driving to school a few weeks ago and
had to pull the car over to take this photo and just enjoy the beauty of the
sky. The pinks and yellows and
blues were so intense. This was
such a surprise in the dead of winter to see this breath-taking sky. Don’t be afraid to take a few minutes
on a journey to pull over and spend a few minutes just enjoying the beauty of
Illinois.

Memory Musings
When
we were young we loved to ride Potter’s horse, Loco. He was a beautiful
palomino. Loco was very used to being ridden by children and was a sweet horse.
I
remember one time when my Mom decided to ride him. We always rode bareback and
Mom hadn’t ridden in a long time, but she was game for a challenge. She began
well but as he began to canter across the field, she started to slide to the
side. Loco, being truly intelligent, stopped as she started to fall. Mom was thankful that he stopped when
his rider was on the slide. I love
my childhood.
