Shrinking Jeans Holiday Tradition & Recipe Vlog



I mispoke, but since I had taken several different takes I wasn't ready to have another redo.  In the recipe its either balsamic vinegrete OR balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

Your ingredients:
fresh spinach leaves
strawberries, capped & diced
crumbled feta cheese
sliced almonds
balsamic vinegar
olive oil.

Nutrition information varies, based on how you make your salad.  I go easy on the oil, relying on the vinegar to coat the salad.  I love feta so I probably put a little more on my version than most people.

I had to work quickly to get all my chatter in 2 minutes, take one was almost 5 minutes long!!

PS - I forget that I have an accent.  Seriously, compared to the rest of my family I speak "normal.

  5. Hey Girl! It was so great to hear that awesome accent of yours again :) I love your tradition. Going to our candlelight service was almost what I put in my vlog, but I changed it at the last minute. When I was younger, we always went to the 11:00 pm service and would sing O Holy Night at midnight. Now, the service is earlier and usually ends with Silent Night, but it is still so special and helps us remember the real reason we celebrate Christmas.

    Love you, girl. Merry Christmas to you, too :)

  6. Ahh you're so cute! This recipe sounds yum, too. I make one similar without feta cheese.

    And maybe it's because I'm from southwest Louisiana and grew up surrounded by rednecks and cajuns, but I thought you sounded very refined!

    Tha's cawze wuh-ee tawk lack theeus. LOL

  7. You sound normal to me, but I'm a Texan so accents are the norm around these here parts! ;) The recipe sounds great! I'm totally going to make it soon! I like your tradition, too. We went to the Christmas Eve candlelight service for the first time at our church last year, but we all thought we should make it a tradition! It's the eating afterwards that we still need to figure out. We decided to go out to eat, but a nice meal would be good, too!

  11. Because I'm a slacker, I'm just *now* getting to watch this. You are totally not Minnie Mouse nor do you sound 12. But the accent I wasn't expecting, but I should have been!
