I like making big batches of food whenever I get the chance. Since I mealprep on Sundays, that's easy to do. Meal prepping is all about cooking in big batches and divvying it up throughout the week. Casseroles, sheetpan meals, and skillet dinners are perfect for it. Then, there's meal prepping salads. You can't really… Continue reading Southwestern Chicken Salad

Simple Nicoise Salad
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

I was a videographer for years, using big & bulky Panasonic and DVC cameras...not small, beautiful DSLR's. I've also discovered I might be blinder than I realized---several pictures… Continue reading Southwestern Turkey Salad
Chopped Harvest Salad
It's the Christmas season, y'all! And no, I didn't forget about Thanksgiving. I like to celebrate Christmas for as long as humanly possible---and as long as the public will let me. Celebrating before November is typically frowned upon. When the clock strikes midnight on November 1st, all bets are off. I've had my holidy Spotify… Continue reading Chopped Harvest Salad
