Spring Dishin’ Southern Boy Style

SBD Spring Roundup

Just so you’ll know, I’m a total geek. I admit it. So…I’m celebrating spring with a new tech toy. My Apple Watch arrived on Friday and not a minute too soon. For those of you who don’t know, my days are spent at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as a Systems Architect. My passion for technology runs a close second to my passion for food.

I’m not only a gadget freak, but I’m an early adopter. Whenever Apple releases the latest and greatest product, I have to buy it and I’ve got have it on the first day that it’s available. So, being the geek that I am, I set my alarm for 3 a.m. on pre-order day. (The watch went on sale at 12:01 a.m. west coast time which was 3 a.m. on the east coast.) I completed my order in minutes after they went on sale, and I got confirmation that it would arrive on day one. Mission accomplished!

Not only am I celebrating spring with a new toy, but I’m celebrating it by sharing some of my favorite spring recipes for today’s post.

Fennel and Apple Salad with Shallot Vinaigrette

This Fennel and Apple Salad with Shallot Vinaigrette will impress your dinner guests as an appetizer to most any entree. The bowls require a little effort but they’re well worth the extra time.
