Foodie Friday Mariposa Tray Give-away


Would you like to win a gorgeous, just-in-time-for-Christmas Mariposa tray? Followers of this blog are automatically entered, and if you'd like more chances to win, just leave a comment. The tray is 20" long X 13" wide and retails for $144.00.
The winner will be announced on the December 3rd Foodie Friday.

A virus knocked me low today, so today's Foodie Friday post is a little early and features a long-ago salad from my Darling Baker days.


The holiday rush is upon all foodies, so next week's FF will be available a day early(Wednesday night, Nov 24th, 8 pm central).
If you're new to Foodie Friday, here's a TUTORIAL.If you are participating in this week's recipe exchange, please add your recipe and permalink here:
