This recipe was originally going to have chicken in it, to make it different from a traditional Nicoise salad. But alas, the forgetful grocery shopper strikes again. It doesn't matter how detailed my list is when I go to the supermarket---I will always forget something. I'm usually able to get my husband to pick it… Continue reading Simple Nicoise Salad

Artichoke & Chicken Sausage Quiche
...well, it's sort of a quiche. There's no crust. Does that mean it's not a quiche? What precisely defines a quiche? I'd like to think that definition includes a creamy egg bake inside of a pie pan. If that's the case this most definitely is a quiche. One of my favorite thinks to cook is… Continue reading Artichoke & Chicken Sausage Quiche

It's officially, officially my favorite time of… Continue reading Low Carb Breakfast Hash
Gulf Coast Cobb Salad

I'll soak in the fireworks and patriotism in my drive home tonight---I don't need a… Continue reading Gulf Coast Cobb Salad

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
Denver Omelette Salad
Breakfast salads are part of the new wave of "trendy" foods. They're right on up there with avocado toast, chia pudding, and overnight oats. I tend to steer clear of the trendy foods. Avocado toast sounds like a waste of a good avocado. Chia pudding just sounds...wrong. Overnight oats seem okay, but I like my… Continue reading Denver Omelette Salad
Denver Omelette Egg Muffins
Denver omelettes are the quintessential breakfast for Midwesterners. If I'm not ordering traditional Eggs Benedict, you can catch me perusing the omelette section of any breakfast menu for that delightful omelette. There's just something about it that calls me back each and every time. Denver omelettes are simple: ham, bell pepper and onion. That's it,… Continue reading Denver Omelette Egg Muffins
