Cheddar Bacon Ranch Pea Salad

May 8, 2022May 8, 2022 Colleen1 Comment

I traveled back in time this weekend. I went to a place that I hadn't been to in more than a decade. Tucked away in a small corner of North Texas is an area that's near and dear to my heart: Doans, Texas. It's just a few miles north of the big "city" of Vernon… Continue reading Cheddar Bacon Ranch Pea Salad

Spring Pea & Feta Dip

May 1, 2022May 1, 2022 Colleen1 Comment

I've spent the last few weeks outside cleaning up flower gardens and planting. It's one of my most favorite times of year: spring. My veggie garden is already starting to sprout (carrots and rainbow chard, here we come!) and I still have plenty of pots and soil I need to use up with some summer,… Continue reading Spring Pea & Feta Dip

Chicken Bacon Ranch Tortellini Salad

September 6, 2021 Colleen1 Comment

Labor Day is here and I'm, well, laboring. When I was a kid, my stepdad and I would use the extended weekend to work on projects around the house. Not like I WANTED to do that on a weekend off, but I did anyway. It's something that's stuck with me ever since then. I don't… Continue reading Chicken Bacon Ranch Tortellini Salad

Hawaiian Dogs

There's something special about a family-owned meat company here in Oklahoma City. Schwab Meat Co. has been around since the late 1800's, and has been in OKC at the same location since 1912. The company was started by a German immigrant named George Schwab who had a knack for making sausage. He brought his cherished… Continue reading Hawaiian Dogs

Classic Broccoli Salad

It's mid-June. Your family is over for a cookout. You've been tasked with providing the sides. What do you make? A lot of people will throw chips and dips out there and be done with it. Hey, there's nothing wrong with that. It's simple, doesn't need a lot of effort, and is typically cost-effective. If… Continue reading Classic Broccoli Salad

Caprese Turkey Burger

May 26, 2021May 26, 2021 ColleenLeave a comment

If there's one thing I love about summer, its the endless Caprese salads. Wait, you don't have endless Caprese salads where you're from? That's weird. I thought it was a universal thing. Okay, I get it. Caprese salads aren't really a "sign of summer" like lemonade stands and hot dogs. But it's something I make… Continue reading Caprese Turkey Burger

Lemon & Herb Potato Salad

There are many different recipes that will come in and out of your life that hold a significant meaning. My mom's potato salad is one of those. She's been making it since I was born, and it's such a classic recipe for our family get-togethers. I've made her recipe a handful of times, but I… Continue reading Lemon & Herb Potato Salad

There are plenty of meals and recipes that my family has been making for decades. I've got "super secret" family recipes for banana pudding, sweet potato casserole, chocolate pecan pie, and chicken fried steak. If you ever go to a family potluck or cookout and think to yourself, "oh, I hope so-and-so is coming, because… Continue reading Francine’s Salad

You ever see a recipe in a cookbook and think, that can't be right? The ingredients don't add up, or the baking time seems off, or the description seems implausible? That's what happened to me when I first spotted Pineapple Casserole. The title makes it seem innocent. Pineapple Casserole. What could be weird about that?… Continue reading Pineapple Casserole

Broccoli Apple Salad

April 9, 2021April 9, 2021 ColleenLeave a comment

One thing I love about the summer months is all the wonderful side dishes. They usually steal the show at any cookout you're at. We've all had burgers and hot dogs before, but have you ever seen a super pink ambrosia? How about elote pasta salad? Maybe tried a broccoli-ramen slaw? I love making different… Continue reading Broccoli Apple Salad
