Rosen Shingle Creek Recipe Contest 2014
Better yet, there are some AMAZING food contests going on, like the +Rosen Shingle Creek Orlando Recipe Contest.
You all know that my kids and I LOVE to garden, we are also in the kitchen cooking all the time,
and
I’m a steakhouse kinda mom.
SO, I decided to create an original recipe inspired by Rosen Shingle Creek dining options A Land Remembered – Steakhouse to be entered into the contest AND I used what we had in the garden: fresh Kale and cherry tomatoes. It is my original recipe to the best of my knowledge!
(I sent the little guy to get all the veggies, since he likes to take all the “balls” off the tomato plants no matter what color they are. Back inside he helped wash everything in the sink and also insisted upon “cooking” too! He added the vegetables, stirred, and mixed it all up! We call it Garden to Table)
This Kale, Orzo & Feta Summer Salad would make a great side dish to a grilled chicken breast!
