Remember the other day when I shared the Easy Summer Grilling Dinner Menu with you? And I said that we just loved the Brown Rice Salad with Capers, Artichoke Hearts & Greek Feta Vinaigrette? Well, this salad has been served at our dinner table a few times since then. We just adore the Greek flavors, and […]

Orzo Salad with Watermelon and Feta #SundaySupper
This salad is so delicious that I just licked my bowl! Honest truth! No one was looking, and I was not going to leave behind any bits of crumbled feta, basil or orzo that stuck to the sides of my bowl. You don’t need to worry about the watermelon since that scoops up nice and […]
Some of My Favorite Thanksgiving Sides
It is almost here! The big day where we sit and feast with family and friends. I am more than a little excited to be making my favorite Thanksgiving dessert, Pumpkin Amaretto Cheesecake today.

Layered Christmas Gelatin Salad #SundaySuper
This red, white, and green fruit filled layered Christmas gelatin salad is as yummy as it is pretty! It is the perfect addition to any holiday buffet table.

Roast Beef Salad in a Jar
In the spirit of eating healthy and losing weight, I am looking for ways to prep my lunches on Sunday and have them ready to go for the week. As a teacher at a rural school, I do not have easy access for a quick lunch off campus. My mornings and week nights are busy! […]
Chopped Veggie Salad Dressing Recipe
We love, love, love this chopped veggie salad dressing in our family. It has been a family favorite for close to two decades! I first had salad topped with this dressing at my aunt’s home in Florida, and she served it in a beautiful tall glass canister. I copied that idea from her as well. […]
