Happy 4th of July! This is the 10th holiday in a row I've had to work. I'm not complaining, though. Not only do I get holiday pay (yipee!) but I'm not really a fan of smaller holidays like this one. I'll soak in the fireworks and patriotism in my drive home tonight---I don't need a… Continue reading Gulf Coast Cobb 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

It seems so unrealistic that it's funny. Too bad that pretty much happened to me on Saturday. No, it wasn't a… Continue reading Green Chile Deviled Eggs
Steak Salad with Green Chile Chimichurri Dressing
There was a big Hatch green chile event going on at Crest yesterday. There were at least three huge grills outside and crews were busy roasting the green chiles over an open flame. I got suckered into a big display in the produce section: I got almost two pounds of fresh roasted green chiles for… Continue reading Steak Salad with Green Chile Chimichurri Dressing
Cobb Egg Salad
Egg salad sandwiches are to the south what cheesesteaks are to Philly. I've grown up on the cold salad sandwiches. They're the best lunchtime sandwiches for a hot summer day. My usual egg salad is simple: mayonnaise, a squirt of mustard, sweet relish, dill, and S&P. I've had the filling on everything: bread, buns, tortillas--sometimes… Continue reading Cobb Egg Salad
