Goat Cheese, Apple, and Walnut Salad with Maple Vinaigrette

Last weekend, Husband and I went with my sister to see The Avett Brothers at the Aragon Ballroom. They were incredible musicians and outstanding performers. Serious inspiration.

Before we headed out to the concert, we made a nice, healthy lunch at home (knowing we'd have beer and bar food for dinner). Goat cheese, apples, walnuts, and a simple maple syrup vinaigrette on top; nothing could be better. UNTIL...

As we were enjoying these lovely salads, the pantry shelf holding our flour and sugar canisters suddenly came crashing to the floor, making a nice little white beach in the closet. Michael wasn't too pleased. (*Note: we did not hang this shelf.)

At least Alli's happy! She got a new job internship that day. :)
