I would have to say that this Crunchy Asian Slaw is probably my Mom's signature salad! She makes this all the time, and it always gets rave reviews. Secretly, though, I think she makes it because she loves the leftovers! I love the sweet crunch. This is perfect as a side or add some chicken … [Read more...]

My son Jordan is only twelve years old, but he has a serious passion for cooking. About three years ago his grandpa taught him to make potato salad, and he's been cooking ever since. I can already tell that Jordan is a natural in the kitchen, and I think he may have a future in food services. He's … [Read more...]

I love this Garden Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette. Zucchini and yellow squash are probably some of my favorite vegetables. And some that I don't eat enough of! So, when I find them on sale, I try to use them, so they don't go to waste just sitting in my fridge. I have been holding on to this recipe … [Read more...]

My Mom and Dad got me started on this Taco Salad. This dinner is a staple in their house. It is so quick to pull together for a weeknight meal, and you only have the one pot to clean.

This Asparagus Pasta with Pecans is going to be my lunch all week! Publix had asparagus "on sale" this week. It's still not a great price, but I couldn't wait any longer to post this recipe. I first made this Easter last year. It's a Southern Living recipe, so I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. It's … [Read more...]

Yum If you like roasted corn, you will love this recipe! I wish I would have made this earlier in the summer because I would have taken it with me to every bring-your-own-dish function we attended.

Yum My family was not too excited to try my Easy Broccoli Slaw recipe. I got two "I hate slaw" comments, and one "where's the meat?" comment. I am happy to say that after everyone finished with their lunch, they were all asking for seconds! Take that veggie haters! I served this alone … [Read more...]

I do love salad with cranberries and pecans, though, so this salad sounded great. Publix has their bagged salad on sale 2/$four this week, and … [Read more...]
