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
Soups, Salads, & Sandwiches
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.
Have you ever added pasta to your green leafy salad? I have and I did, and it’s awesome! Then I added marinated sauteed shrimp, croutons, avocado, and a creamy Caesar dressing to create one amazingly delicious salad. It’s more than salad. It’s a meal!
One of the best things about summer is all the delicious fresh fruits and vegetables available. I especially love fresh fruits…blackberries, strawberries, pineapple, apricots, peaches, and plums. So many to chose from. Not too many things better on a hot summer day than a bowl full of cold fruit salad. Each bite packed full of amazing fruity juices. So the last thing we want to do is cover up all that fruit in a blanket of cream dips and dressing. Let’s allow the fruit to be the star! It’s spent months growing into perfection…it needs to shine. The simple Honey Poppy Seed dressing in this salad allows that to happen splendidly! Wanna join me for a cup of this Honey Poppy Seed Fruit Salad?
