Beets, Bacon and Blue Cheese Salad

August 29, 2017 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 6 Comments

Utensils are English Vintage Silver plate/Similar Utensils Found Here, napkins here

Good morning, or should I just say, morning? I am sure that for the many who are suffering in Texas it is not a good morning, unless you count the fact that they are alive. I am one of those people that is glued to the TV when there is an “event” either natural disaster or whatever. I live and have lived in a hurricane zone for the last 17 years so weather events are important to me. 

My heart is broken for those who are suffering and I hope that the rain stops soon so that they can all go home and assess the damage and move forward.

Salad Plate, Platter

The weather here is still hot so my mind has not switched to Fall food, like anything including pumpkin,  but don’t worry my self imposed moratorium will be over September 1st. 

This week I made a scrumptious Beet, Blue Cheese, Bacon Salad. Those are the main ingredients, it also had oranges, red cabbage and pecans and I have to tell you that although the combination might seem a little strange it is delicious, a little sweet, a little crunchy, a little salty and and a little bit sour from the citrus. I made a simple vinaigrette  from my homemade red wine vinegar but you could use any dressing that you like. 

Napkins Here

Beets, Bacon, Blue Cheese & More Salad

6-8 cups romaine lettuce, spinach or spring mix

6 strips of bacon cooked crisp and chopped

1 orange cut into pieces

1/3 cup chopped pecans

8-10 small beets roasted and cut into pieces

6 ounces blue cheese crumbled

1/2-3/4 cup chopped red cabbage

Arrange lettuce, or spinach on a platter or a bowl. Then add the bacon, orange pieces, pecans, beets, blue cheese and cabbage. You can arrange it is symmetrical lines or you can just pile it up in the bowl and mix. Add your favorite vinaigrette or dressing of your choice and enjoy. 

I hope that you have a good day wherever you are. To those in Texas my thoughts and prayers are with you and I hope that you are safe.

    It's going to take a long time for southern Texas to repair the damage–all the water has to go away first (well, first it has to stop raining, and then the water has to go down). Best wishes to them as they work through it.
    Your salad looks wonderful. My kid LOVES beets, and this looks like a great light meal for a hot day. Like you, we still have full-on summer.

    I am pinning this as my daughter loves beets! We are expecting a houseguest later this week and it will be perfect. Thank you for your prayers. We have both friends and family members near the Texas coast. They know our doors here at Storybook Cottage are open to them. The rain has stopped today but due to start up again and we are specifically praying that the levees hold.

Good morning friends! I need prayers, lots of pray Good morning friends! I need prayers, lots of prayers. My nephew was hit by a car on Thursday while riding his bike. To respect my brothers wishes I can’t say more. I believe in the power of pray and I would appreciate it tremendously if you could pray for my nephews full recovery as well as for his parents who are by his side. Sadly because of Covid they cannot be with him together at the same time. Thank you friends I appreciate this more than I can say. Have a wonderful day and remember life is fragile, it changes in an instant, hug your kids, your parents, your friends, family and pets. #powerinprayer #prayer #prayers #thereispowerinprayer #lifelately #spring #birds #birdsofinstagram

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
