\"Strawberry<\/p>\n

Trade paradise at the beach in Southern California for a humble abode in Arkansas? Yes, we do. And not nearly often enough. If you’ve never been to the area known as the Ozarks, you should go sometime, especially if you have an affinity for the great outdoors and enjoy water sports – other than surfing, of course. Lakes abound in the Ozarks making it a playground for boating, water skiing, jet skiing, kayaking, and fishing.<\/p>\n

Vacationing in the Ozarks<\/h2>\n

This past week we were chillin’ in Northwest Arkansas and blessed with a preview of summer, which made delivery of a shiny new pontoon fishing boat particularly exciting. Emerald green as far as the eye can see, clear azure skies, marshmallow clouds, sunny days, late night thunderstorms, trolling the lake, fishing, and fun with family and friends – \u00a0just what life is supposed to be about!<\/p>\n

\"Marshmallow<\/p>\n

Born in Chicago, Illinois but growing up in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, I’ve always returned to visit my parents, particularly my mom who found herself divorced and alone after 30 years of marriage.<\/p>\n

Every season possesses a special allure: the stark serenity of winter, verdant life renewed in spring, and sizzling heat of summer soothed by cool dips at dusk. Relief arrives as cooler days ignite the hills with a blanket of fiery color in the fall.<\/p>\n

\"Winter<\/p>\n

I probably cook more when we’re here than at home in Huntington Beach because we’re in town for only a week and have friends or family over nearly every night. The absence of a fully stocked pantry and somewhat limited produce (compared to Southern California) calls for simple fare, grilling on the deck and the occasional fish fry, if the bass and walleye cooperate.<\/p>\n

Strawberries – Summer’s Star Fruit<\/h2>\n

On this trip, we ate particularly well. The fish were biting, the grill was hot, and we had stashed some goodies from home in our carry-on bag. Among those goodies – a clamshell of sweet organic strawberries which is the star of this quick and easy strawberry salad that complemented grilled ribeye steaks beautifully.<\/p>\n

Just three ingredients and a simple homemade vinaigrette creates a visually appealing and deliciously nutritious salad. Not only is it tasty, but it’s easy to make it low in sodium when you take advantage of one of my favorite salt substitutes – fresh citrus juice, whether lemon, lime, or in this case, orange. The addition of Bob’s Red Mill<\/a> Wheat Berries lends a nutty flavor and satisfying chew to the colorful melange of\u00a0Organic Girl Super Greens and ruby red strawberries. (Plus, all the magical nutrients and fiber in whole grains.)<\/p>\n
