      I try to eat seasonally as much as possible. Not as a way to just get fresh produce but to conserve energy costs as much as possible. Come this time of year I gravitate to fresh and fun salads with a small side of grilled chicken thighs or pork. I am bookmarking this and return when I need salad inspiration!

      Also, your photography is beautiful! I adore your style.

        Thanks so much! We try to eat seasonally too, but it's harder during the winter months. I like to bring lots of colour into my meals and fresh salads are an easy way to do that. I can't wait until I can pick things straight from my garden!
