Asparagus Tart with Fromage Blanc & Comté
It was 10 years ago that I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I am cancer-free and intent on staying that way. During all the chemo and radiation, I asked my friends to send me recipes so that I could keep blogging every single day… Why I thought I had to keep doing it is crazy. I now blog when I want to! This recipe is from one of my best friends Jessica. She knows more about me than anyone, which is rather frightening (for her)!
Guest blogger Jessica (Denver, CO). Spring has not sprung yet here in Colorado, but we’re doing our damnedest to pretend that it has. So I broke out this great recipe, loosely adapted from an Epicurious recipe, to brighten up a recent dinner with out-of-town guests. It was just delicious.

Columbia’s 1905 Salad
Columbia's 1905 Salad is from Florida's oldest restaurant in Tampa, and the oldest Spanish restaurant in the United States, called Columbia Restaurant. The restaurant opened in 1905, but this famous salad wasn't "invented" until 1940 by waiter Tony Noriega. He made it using leftover Spanish and Italian ingredients from the kitchen. The Columbia’s legendary salad is tossed tableside. They are the biggest restaurant consumer of Lea & Perrin’s Worcestershire sauce in the country, which is the “secret sauce” in the dressing recipe.

Chili Crisp Baked Feta
This Chili Crisp Baked Feta is really good. It's a little bit spicy, salty, and delicious! Once out of the oven, it gets a drizzle of hot honey. If you've never had hot honey then you are missing out. I love it on pepperoni pizza.
