We were blessed in the fall with the addition of two new babies to our family. Abigail was born in October and Benson followed a month later. In December we gathered in Smithfield for Abigail's blessing and yesterday it was Benson's turn. I think about all of those from Michael's side of the family and our side of the family as we attended church with them and as Michael pronounced a beautiful blessing upon Benson. How loved and welcomed this baby is. He will grow up with the support of many extended family members and that will be a great blessing to him in the years to come.
We had lunch at Megan's home after church. There was quite a large group. I often take one of my favorite salads to family gatherings. It is very easy and can be made with a variety of ingredients.
Basic Spinach Salad
1 bag of baby spinach
Fruit of choice
Nuts of choice
Other optional add-ins: Craisins, diced cooked bacon, swiss cheese, onion
Dressing: Brianna's Poppyseed Dressing
My usual mix is with apples and cashews or roasted walnuts. Clementines are very good to use as the fruit. I have tried this with other poppyseed dressings, but none of them taste as good as Brianna's. It is very easy to make for a large group - just increase proportions. Even the grandchildren will eat this!
