Quick note

First, a thank you again to Jodi for more great new recipes, and also for the Gnocchi that is so tried and true. We had it again last night and it was amazing.

Second, I found something I love on my summer salad. My lunches have been pretty much the same every day—a couple of cups of spinach topped with chopped deli ham, diced cantaloupe and cottage cheese. I love it with the salty and the sweet and the crisp; just heaven. It's also filling with a nice combination of vegetable, fruit, dairy, and protein-rich meat. Well, yesterday I added something that put it over the top into AMAZING! 1-2 Tbsp strawberry jam. That's it. I kind of mix it on the plate with the cottage cheese to help it disperse evenly, and it's pure heaven. I just used my easy chunky strawberry freezer jam and it's perfect. May your summer salads be delightful!
