August is already off to a jam-packed start. We've been slammed at work over the last week and a half, and in a few days I'll be off on a vacation for a week and a half. To say it's needed is an understatement. It's not just work bogging me down right now, there are… Continue reading Mediterranean Chicken Zoodle Salad

Chopped Supreme Taco Salad
It's steaming hot outside. We're now entering the worst part of summer: Post-July-Fourth, sweat-your-makeup off, unwavering sunlight summer days.I've kept the outdoor activities to a minimum the last two weeks. If you catch me outside, it's usually well past when the sun went down or on the cusp of dusk. You wouldn't catch me outside… Continue reading Chopped Supreme Taco Salad
Corn Chip Salad
There's something strange about "salads" in the South. I'm not talking about leafy green salads. I'm talking about the sides that people take to cookouts and parties.

Juicy tomatoes, sour balsamic vinegar, and sweet-and-earthy basil. Those three ingredients alone can invoke a carnival of happiness in your mouth. I've been in love with Caprese salad… Continue reading Strawberry, Chicken & Basil Salad
German Rice Salad
I've got German food that runs through my blood. My mom's side of the family was very German. Think last names like Schiwart and Knippa. My grandma grew up on a small North Texas farm and learned how to make some of the best German food around. We eat egg noodles for Thanksgiving and Christmas.… Continue reading German Rice Salad
Mexican Street Corn Pasta Salad
We're now entering that time of year where potlucks and parties are on a consistent basis. Cookouts, graduations, Memorial Day...it's all going on right now. If you're like me, you both love and hate this time of year. You love it because of the food, family, and fun. Hate it because your schedule is so… Continue reading Mexican Street Corn Pasta Salad
