Turkey Salad

Cooking lately for me has been nil, but a salad isn't really cooking right?

I purchased some already cooked, oven roasted turkey at Sam's Club (super convenient, and really good flavor).

They come in medallions so I just chopped them a little bit.

 I sliced a sweet onion, and sauteed it in olive oil.

I chopped a couple of slices of prosciutto (yummy), and added it to the mix.

It wasn't just right...so a spoonful of minced garlic.

Added it to a spring mix.

I found in the refrig (yes found) this peanut ginger dressing,

and it really made it refreshing.

Not heavy, too strong, just right.

So not to bad for not "cooking"...eh?

Enjoy!!

Foodie Photos

My last post - Baked Ziti - I posted a picture of the food on a plate. I normally take about 10 different photos of food (on the plate, on the counter, in the pot), but they have never turned out like this one.



As I have mentioned before, I love reading Ree Drummond's "The Pioneer Woman" blog. She has an awesome Nikon, and takes some of the best shots. I don't. But, she also gives some basic blogging advice on pictures. Use natural light (I did - kitchen window), get close the food, use a tripod or elbows to stabilize the camera.

This is one that I tried...



As you can see, the angle is wrong, light is darker, and it just doesn't look as good. I actually think I moved.

But this one...



...it just worked, and I had to brag about it. Now if I can only do that again! ha.

Happy cooking.
