If you buy herbs in the grocery store, you probably know all to well the problem of biting off more than you can chew. There's nothing worse than wasting food, in my opinion. And yet fresh herbs always seem to go to waste in my kitchen. I always need fresh basil, parsley or dill for… Continue reading Green Goddess Chicken Salad

Tuna Cobb Salad
There's a sale on oil-packed tuna at Costco right now. It might not sound like that big of a deal, but when there's a sale on tuna, I jump on it. I eat a lot of tuna. I love it so much, a few years ago I signed up for a settlement with Starkist. As… Continue reading Tuna Cobb Salad
Slow Cooker Ham and Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole
If I ever ran for public office, I'd run on one position and one position only: make breakfast casserole a year-round thing. Why is it that we only eat it around the holidays? That's a travesty, in my opinion. I make breakfast casseroles throughout the year. I like them because my husband and I can… Continue reading Slow Cooker Ham and Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole

To make it even MORE breakfast-y, I added fluffy scrambled eggs and melted cheddar cheese. These little bites are delicious.… Continue reading Fully Loaded Pigs in a Blanket
French Onion Chicken Casserole
This year I planted a vegetable garden for the first time. I bought a simple, self-watering garden box from Costco and then loaded up on seeds and soil. I even bought plant food just in case I needed it! Everything was chugging along fine for a few weeks. My seeds slowly grew into sprouts (what… Continue reading French Onion Chicken Casserole
Southern Cobb Salad with Sweet Onion Dressing
We're in for a long dry spell this week. Temperatures are about to soar into the upper 90's and there's not a lick of rain in the forecast. The humidity will be through the roof, too, making temperatures feel more like they're in the 100's. It's definitely the dog days of summer right now. I'm… Continue reading Southern Cobb Salad with Sweet Onion Dressing
Turkey Bacon Egg Cups
I've eaten the same breakfast for more than a year now. 2 eggs. 1 slice of cheese. 2 slices of whole wheat bread. Make a sandwich, then repeat. I'm a creature of habit, I suppose. I like to have a routine in the mornings. If I don't, I'll just lay on the couch and not… Continue reading Turkey Bacon Egg Cups
