Mexican Kale Salad

August 18, 2022 Colleen1 Comment

Salads have become a major part of my life. I don't have time to heat up my lunch at work, so I almost always pack a salad. It's easy to just grab and eat while in the midst of a major work crunch. I'm starting to run out of salad recipes, though. I want to… Continue reading Mexican Kale Salad

Hoagie Pasta Salad

August 17, 2022 Colleen3 Comments

I'm obsessed with that viral "grinder" salad on TikTok. It's tangy and sour and all the things I love about a good salad/slaw. The sandwich itself is also amazing, but I'm most obsessed with the salad part of it. Using that inspiration, I set out to make a pasta salad version of that viral recipe.… Continue reading Hoagie Pasta Salad

Leann’s Special Salad

August 8, 2022August 7, 2022 Colleen2 Comments

Let's get this out of the way: I don't know who Leann is. I also don't know why her salad is special. This recipe comes from a 1987 cookbook I found in a local antique store that hails from Texas. I was looking for a light, refreshing salad to escape the 105 degree weather we've… Continue reading Leann’s Special Salad

Grilled Chicken Cowboy Caviar

July 21, 2022July 21, 2022 ColleenLeave a comment

For some reason, cowboy caviar is trending on TikTok. It's not a new concept. The recipe has been around for ages. I've had it at many cookouts in my lifetime. That's the beauty of TikTok. Old recipes are new again and you'll never know which recipe will go viral. Sometimes it's a classic grinder sandwich,… Continue reading Grilled Chicken Cowboy Caviar

Curry Chicken Salad

July 20, 2022 Colleen8 Comments

If this isn't a Midwestern chicken salad, I don't know what is. Curry powder turned into the "it" spice to have in pantries in America during the 1950's. People thought the flavor was exotic, and Americans being Americans, threw it into every dish and called it "new". Curry powder has been used for centuries in… Continue reading Curry Chicken Salad

Chicken Alfredo Tortellini Salad

July 12, 2022July 12, 2022 Colleen2 Comments

If you have a pasta salad recipe, chances are I've tried it. I'm one of those people who makes pasta salads like a fiend every summer. It's so refreshing to either eat by itself or to serve it with burgers and barbecue. It's my go-to cookout side dish and my ride-or-die lunch at work. Imagine… Continue reading Chicken Alfredo Tortellini Salad

Fried Okra Salad

Most of my family moved north to Montana several years ago. It started with my aunt, who works up there. After that, my grandma followed. Then my uncle moved up there. Then my parents moved up there. Montana has its perks, but good food is NOT one of them. Don't ever try to order a… Continue reading Fried Okra Salad

Turkey Salad with Honey Almonds

June 13, 2022June 13, 2022 Colleen3 Comments

After 17+ years in the kitchen, I finally did it. I finally had a knife accident. Thankfully, my slip-up only cost me half a fingernail, otherwise, this story would have been much more graphic. Picture this: I was cutting some roast turkey breast into slices for lunch when the knife I was using just sliced… Continue reading Turkey Salad with Honey Almonds

Cowboy Salad

May 29, 2022May 29, 2022 Colleen2 Comments

I was tasked recently with coming up with a salad that was hearty enough to satisfy big appetites. The word "salad" and "hearty" aren't typically used together in the same sentence. Salads are meant to be light and refreshing, not heavy and hearty. Regardless, I needed to make something that appealed more to those last… Continue reading Cowboy Salad

Spring Roll Salad

May 23, 2022May 23, 2022 Colleen1 Comment

Thank God Oklahoma had a cold front move through last week. We were busy melting away up until last Thursday. Instead of low 80's during the day and 50-60s at night, which is the typical case for May, Oklahoma was having a heatwave of upper 90's during the day and high 70s at night. It… Continue reading Spring Roll Salad
