Dole Salad Companions

Dole Salad Companions have simplified salad preparation by offering dressing and toppings in a pre-prepared package to just toss with greens.   The four varieties range from a 1.3- to 1.5-ounce serving containing 140 to 190 calories, 2.5 to 3 grams saturated fat (of 10 to 14 grams total) and 8 to 7 grams sugar.     - bonnie: These Salad Companions are based on four servings, yet most bagged salads two to three. In other words, you'll consume lots more fat and calories than listed if you use one package for one bag of greens. Follow @BonnieBOTB

Whispers Restaurant, Spring Lake, NJ

The Chateau Inn in Spring Lake (NJ) where we were staying offered a mid-week special that included a $60 gift certificate to one of a few restaurants in the area. That's how we ended up at Whispers, a restaurant in the Hewitt-Welington Hotel with NYC prices. But  — with that coupon and being allowed to BYO  wine — it became reasonable. The "crostini" served as our amuse-bouche was topped with an unusual homemade hummus with the taste of the sweet corn added. Just wish the bread hadn't been soft. Our fresh arugula salad included shaved sweet onion, candied pecans, crumbled goat cheese all in a lemon-thyme vinaigrette ($12). My favorite [...]

Cafe Artiste, Dinner with Cosimo, Spring Lake, NJ – CLOSED

We had no clue that the town of Spring Lake (NJ) would have little to no food offerings Sunday evening at a reasonable Manhattan dining time. So when we heard some noise on a side street off Third Avenue, we followed that and tripped over Cafe Artiste, which we'd later find out was a "Dinner with Cosimo." "Could we just order salad?" "Chicken scarpariello? You'll love it." We said, just the salads would be fine, as it was  late and we had lost our hunger. That salad — topped with sauteed peppers and fresh Parmigiano Reggiano cheese  — was quite good in a light flavorful vinaigrette. It felt like we [...]

Krusteaz introduced a new line of gluten free mixes that includes Buttermilk Pancake, Blueberry Muffin, Double Chocolate Brownie and Honey Cornbread and Muffin. Each is easy to make — just simply adding water, oil and the yeast.   Kristina Day, special gluten-free correspondent  - All of the mixes are hassle-free, quick to prepare and with easy to follow instructions. I recommend both the gluten-free rich brownies and the moist cornbread (more of a corncake). Skip the chemically tasting blueberry muffins and the ordinary flatbread.
