Every once and a while I get a hankering for a really good Crispy Fried Fish sandwich. Problem is…the one that floats under the Golden Arches isn’t my favorite and I live in a small country town far from the sea! So, I decided to go “fishing” and make my own! Talk about a really “Yummy Catch!” Whoa! And that’s no “Fish Story”…I can keep the puns coming all day friends…instead…lets take a peek!
Soups, Salads, & Sandwiches
Want to be the “Cool Lunch Hero Mom” this summer? (We all have aspirations…mine are more simple than others) These individual Pita Pizza’s are going to have you soaring around in your Red Sequin Cape in no time at all! Create a Pizza Bar and let your kiddo’s make their own … or make them ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to pop them in the oven. Endless possibilities! They are SO good and SO easy! Go MOM! You’re all hero’s in my book!
Classic Coleslaw receives a much needed make-over in this spectacular recipe. The addition of blue cheese crumbles, bacon bits, tomato, and creamy ripe avocado make for a rich and flavorful slaw. It comes together in minutes with the help of prepared dressing and packaged coleslaw mix! This is NOT your typical coleslaw! Save that for the “in-laws”! lol
I decided it was time for Old Grilled Cheese Sandwiches to grow up! So I took two slices of Rosemary Olive Oil Artisan Bread and fill it with delicious Italian flavors and toppings. What happened? Well…I have a new LOVE! Truly! Yep, Italian Grilled Cheese! This sandwich had me swooning! You’ll be swooning too. It’s the BEST Sandwich I’ve had in years! I know you’ll fall in love too!
Fluff Salads speak to my inner salad soul! What’s not to love about a dessert that masquerades as a salad? Okay in all seriousness…this Strawberry Pineapple Fluff Jello Salad is light and creamy. Loaded with fresh chopped strawberries, pineapple bits, mini marshmallows, and topped off with coconut cookie crumbs it is truly a delightful spring time salad that your family will be requesting you bring to every Family Reunion this Summer! You? Well…you’re gonna wanna hide in the back of the closet with a spoon and have your own personal “Fluff Salad” party!
I love salads…but I’m lazy when it comes to making them. I don’t like prepping the lettuce! Pathetic…but true. So when I saw this idea for a Wedge Caesar Salad…I yelled “Stop the boat and let me aboard!” In every aspect this is one AMAZING salad. It’s easy to prepare and it’s SO delicious! You’re gonna love this one my friends!
Not to sound like a broken record…but…the side dishes make the meal! Seriously! What is Turkey without stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, candied yams, homemade buttery rolls, and all your favorite holiday salads? It’s just a big awkward bird sitting in the middle of your dinning table! Oh sure…the “Turkey” got an honorable mention in “Scrooge”…but only because this salad wasn’t on menu! If it was…he would have leaned out the window and asked the boy to go “Fetch” him the pan of Cranberry Orange Jello Salad! Then even that crabby miser could have won my heart!
This time of year life seems to speed up with holiday activities. (Like from zero to 110 in one point one second!) It’s hard to keep up with everything AND have a delicious warm meal when dinner time rolls around. Don’t fill up on all that fast food. It’s the perfect time to utilize your slow cooker! This creamy flavorful soup is perfect for those busy winter weeknights.
There are few comfort foods that touch the soul and remind you of childhood like Chicken Noodle Soup! I’m talking about a thick hearty chicken noodle soup like Grandma used to make. Where the smell of it cooking wafts through the house and wraps around you like a warm blanket on a cold winters day. THIS is THAT soup!
This hearty blend of tender chicken, crisp broccoli florets, and savory cheddar dumplings simmered in a rich, creamy broth is a delicious escape from the ordinary.
