I really crave salads as warmer months approach, and I was really craving a chopped chicken cobb salad. I love a cobb salad, mostly for the hard-boiled eggs, but also for all the ways you can get creative with it. I like to add absolutely everything, but the kitchen sink in my cobb salads. This was the perfect meal to get Zach and I through a week of packing. It’s been an insanely busy and tiring week. Luckily, it’s almost over. We are officially moved out of our townhouse. This was bittersweet, and are awaiting our big move-in tomorrow. I am so excited I can hardly contain myself. I guess this is how it is when you own your first home. Today will be a day of relaxation, good beer and good food, which is much needed and well-deserved! I apologize for my absence for the next couple of days, but good things are a-coming … including finally getting to cook on a gas range! It’s been so long! I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Beer: Boulevard’s Pop-Up Session IPA
Brewed By: Boulevard Brewing Company
Style: American IPA
ABV: 4.3%
IBU: 40.5
Description: I don’t know about you, but once Spring and Summer rolls around I get a craving for lighter beers. I will still enjoy a stout every once in a while, but since it tends to get quite hot here in the Summer, I really crave pale ales and session IPAs. Session IPAs are great. They are great drinking brews, that don’t lack in flavor, but don’t knock you on your feet when it comes to heaviness. This is what I love about Boulevard’s Pop-Up Session IPA. It’s such a great IPA all together, but it’s alcohol content is low enough that you can enjoy more than one in a sitting! I love this, and I love this beer for this salad. I definitely wanted something on the “lighter” side, but something that didn’t lack in flavor. This beer was perfect for the job. Give it a try, if you can get your hands on it!

This salad sounds SO good! I’ve been on a huge blueberry kick lately, so I’m definitely going to give this recipe a try. Nothing says spring quite like some berries in your salad, right? Good luck with your move!
Thank you so much Christy! I am obsessed with blueberries, too! They’ve been looking extra juicy lately!
Good luck with the move! I’ll be here eating this salad :)
Thank you so much Nora. I am totally ready to NOT be moving! Ha! ;)
