Girlfriend Gathering



When I was in graduate school, I completed a graduate assistantship in the office of Student Involvement at the University of Nebraska.  During this time, I worked in an office of cubicles with 5 other fantastic girls.  Now, I think that all of us would agree that the work we did there wasn’t where we saw ourselves for the rest of our lives, but I would bet a fairly large sum of money that any of us, if given the opportunity, would go back to that time of friendship, fellowship, and fun in a heartbeat.  It was honestly SO fun.  We would laugh, cry, laugh until we cried, every day.  We would take our lunch breaks together and that was my favorite time of the day.  I swear my abs were rock hard from all of the laughter!

Of course we all know that life moves forward, graduate assistants graduate and become professionals, wives, mothers, or even all of the above.  So when my friend Jeannine suggested that we get together to celebrate Katie being back in town, I was so excited!  It was so fun to catch up and receive all of the updates on where everyone is in life.  One of the best things about this gathering, was that it occurred over a fun potluck lunch.  My contribution was a simple and easy salad, which the girls requested I “put on my blog.”  I even did some research to ensure that the combination would be gluten-free so Katie could enjoy!

Slainte!

To make:
Mix Spinach leaves, dried cranberries, walnuts, and feta cheese.  In a bowl or dressing mixer (which can be found at Target), combine Brianna’s Blush Wine Vinaigrette and Brianna’s Poppy Seed dressings.  Serve immediately topped with dressing mixture, and enjoy!
