Salads

Well, I’m here. But I lost a whole entire day. Let’s talk about what happens to a food blog when the internet dies. Actually… let’s talk about what happens to ME when the internet dies.

I’m taking a quick break from all the sweet happiness I’ve been blasting your email boxes with to share one of my other great true food loves: BUFFALO everything. Buffalo Croutons. And you know, when sorting through my archives for other buffalo recipes, there aren’t that many! Which is weird because if it has buffalo …

Remember my sister-Asheville-restaurant binge last week? Well. We had dinner at a place called Posana Cafe.
