This pear and pomegranate salad is a fall and winter favorite. I'm always eager for pomegranates to be in season so I can make this again. I make my own pomegranate juice by pressing the seeds against a metal sieve.
Ingredients
- 3 cups green leaf lettuce , rinsed and torn
- 1 Bartlett or Anjou pear - halved , cored, and cut into slices
- 0.33 cups pomegranate seeds
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons pomegranate juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon prepared Dijon-style mustard
- 0.5 tablespoons honey
- ground black pepper to taste

Combine vegetable oil, pomegranate juice, lemon juice, mustard, honey, and pepper in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until dressing thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Pour warm dressing over salads and serve.

Tender Tomato Chicken Breasts
This stewed chicken and tomato recipe is a light, juicy, flavorful dish. Being a mom of a 7-month-old child, I've learned to take a lot of shortcuts and still be able to cook quality food. This is quick, easy, and tasty. If you absolutely must use fresh veggies, that's ok, but frozen veggies, in my opinion, work a little bit better. Serve with rice, if desired. To kick it up a bit, add chopped green peppers in with the tomatoes.
Tofu and Rice Stuffed Peppers
Italian style stuffed bell peppers for the vegetarian (can easily be prepared vegan). Even my meat-eating husband loved these.
Red, White, and Blue Pie
Inspired by my Uncle Wayne, this red, white, and blue pie recipe is delightfully simple. Rhubarb and blueberries nestled in a light oil-based crust, topped with vanilla frozen yogurt, makes a perfect Fourth of July dessert.
