Red Wine Vinaigrette

Last night I went to bed thinking how wonderful it would be to wake up in the morning and to not have to listen to or read about all the election ridiculousness.

I’m a smart person, I should have known better.

While I do really appreciate passionate people, the bitching that is going on out there is pretty out of control.

My personal favorites are the people claiming their lives are over or that they are moving to another country just because one man got re-elected.

News flash people. He is one man. You’re life is not over unless there is nothing else in your life but politics. You still live in one of the most amazing countries on the planet. We have amazing people, amazing places and amazing hearts.

While I am not a life coach, I do consider myself a pretty happy person. My advice to those who are on the edge after the election is to stop bitching so much, stop worrying your pretty little head over something you can’t control for another four years and START thinking about what you can do to make you a better, happier version of yourself.

Be a better person, a better friend, a better member of society.

That is all you can do.

If we all worked a little harder to be better, our nation will be better, brighter, healthier and happier.

I could be wrong. But I’m usually right. Just ask my boyfriend.

While you think about what makes you a happier, better person, I’ll share with you something that makes me a happier, better person.

Yummy, basic, homemade dressings make me happy and healthy. This red wine vinaigrette is my favorite. It is mild and goes with pretty much anything you want to throw in a salad.

And it’s pretty. Pretty never hurts.
