December 7, 2011 | No Comments »
This was a very light and fresh salad. Not only delicious, but also full of so much nutrition. I was a little unsure because the kale and brussels sprouts are not cooked. However once dressed with the olive oil lemon juice mixture, pecorino cheese, and toasted alomonds it was perfect!
There are a few different types of Kale, Read the rest of this entry »

From the recipe archives of 2008…it’s finally summer… this salad is a must!!
A perfect salad for a summer evening. I was so anxious to try this salad after I saw my friend Cherie having it for lunch one day. The smell of the Fig balsamic vinegar made my mouth water. It has a wonderful sweet flavor. This recipe was so easy, healthy and quick for a weeknight supper that I decided to take it a step further and double the dressing Read the rest of this entry »

I just made this yesterday for the second time and thought if I don’t share this it would not be fair to anyone that doesn’t read “bon appetit“, the magazine from which this very delicious coleslaw recipe came from!

My sister brought me some orange infused olive oil that I had been savoring over, while thinking about how we would enjoy it best. My idea came from the “Fig and Balsamic Vinegar Salad“, that I posted back in 2008. The difference in this recipe is that Read the rest of this entry »
Cranberry Salad

This year we hosted thanksgiving dinner in our home and it was a potluck. We were in charge of the entree’s (the turkey and my husband’s out of this world beef stroganoff). Everyone brought a side dish, it was all wonderful, it was all so good! I found this recipe for a cranberry jello mold and decided to try it. When was the last time you made a jello mold? It’s so passee huh? Well, I thought it would be fun to go outside of the box and do something different, plus it just seemed to be a perfect compliment to the rest of the day’s lavish offerings.

Grandpa Tom’s Macaroni Salad
August 2, 2009 | 1 Comment »
My husband and I have fond memories of this macaroni salad because it comes straight from his “Grandpa Tom”. Grandpa Tom made the salad until he was 84 and although, occasionally you would find an egg shell, we still considered it the best macaroni salad ever! Now after researching the type of pasta that grandpa Tom actullly used, which was a very small short tube, (not the elbow that were so used to), Read the rest of this entry »
