Something has been disturbing the “zen” I’ve had since our vacation and it’s something I wasn’t expecting.

During the day around nap time, which if you’re a mom you know is a SACRED time of the day.

Apparently, this female cardinal does not realize it is nap time because she is convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that she belongs inside our house. So she will continue to try tapping on the window and then proceeds to try flying into the window thinking maybe that will do the trick.

After around ten minutes she gives up a little bit but then comes back in another ten to try again. The tapping and hearing a bird constantly fly into the window makes the inner hulk in me want to come out.

I’m not a violent or angry person, but I don’t think I’ve wanted to get a bee bee gun more than ever! This bird has GOT to find a different place to “knock” or I’m going GREEN and I mean hulk green!

Speaking of green, lets talk about this Kale Chicken Caesar Salad for a bit shall we?

On the way back from St Lucia we had a lay over in Miami so we had to stay the night. Whenever we are out and about looking for food one of my go to apps is the Food Network app. It hasn’t failed once. All of the restaurants listed on this app have been visited by a chef on the Food Network or have been featured on one of the shows. They are legit and the restaurant we went to was too.

Usually Mike and I like to order a couple dishes and then split so we can nibble and try a bunch of different options. One of the dishes we ordered on this particular night was a Kale Caesar Salad – it was delicious so I had to recreate it and make it my own at home. Clearly you can tell I didn’t waste to much time because it’s the first recipe I’ve made since we’ve been back!

The trick to making a good Kale salad is massaging the Kale with a little bit of salt so that it turns to a forrest green color and softens up a bit. The rest of this recipe is pretty easy, the dressing is made in a food processor and is egg and anchovy FREE! For the rest of this salad just top with fresh shaved parmesan cheese, pepitas, and grilled or pan sautéed chicken!

So simple, fresh, and light but absolutely delicious! Hope you give this recipe a try, it is a great salad option for the summer!
