Talk about being socially savvy & totally with it!  Furniture manufacturer CR Laine has hit the height of uber (or should I say cyber?) creativity.  As part of their new spring line of fabrics, set to debut at April’s High Point Furniture Market,  they are offering a fun new pattern.  An obvious ode to social media giant, Twitter, the pattern is called Twitter Spring.  It features a fun branchy design with bird silhouettes.

Here’s the patterns they suggest pairing with the fun twitterliscious print.  A soft corduroy called Wuzzy Oatmeal and an awesome geometric called Gather Round the Stone.

Attention powers that be at Twitter headquarters ~ I see a make-over in your future!  And, for all of those hip social media experts, it’s time to integrate some of that social savvyiness into your home.

I make this yummy salad often at our house & it’s always a favorite ~ even with my 5 year old!  It’s really easy & you could basically add whatever veggies you like.  And, of course the designer in me likes the fact that this salad is layer upon layer of gorgeous color.  It’s super easy & ready in minutes.  And, I have to give a big shout out to Williams Sonoma for offering my new favorite kitchen utensil ~  our counter block cutting board (Thank you Mike & Pam Harvey for one of our favorite wedding gifts!!!)

So, here is a pictorial step by step of how I make it for my family.

Start with your favorite lettuce.  We like leafy romaine.

Toss in some broccoli slaw ~ shredded broccoli, carrots & cabbage.

Add some diced vine ripened tomatoes

and some avocados

a few mushrooms ~ I usually use portabellas

Carrots for color & crunch!  Not only is this salad going to be super yummy, it’s also pretty to look at!  Just look at the color.

Lastly, add a few crispy onions ( French’s aren’t just for Thanksgiving! Plus, everything else in this salad is uber healthy, so go ahead & be a little bad…

Drizzle on your favorite dressing & Bon appetit, mes amis!
