052712 BEAN AND CORNBREAD SALAD 2

Mexican Panzanella (Leftover Cornbread and Black Bean Salad)

Bible Belt meets The Border with this crazy concoction! And I really have no idea what to call this thing.  Other than Good. Or so I think since I really didn’t get to eat much of it. What I do know is I started throwing things together, took a few bites as a taste test, […]

052712 TARTAR TUNA SALAD 1

Tuna Macaroni Salad with Tartar Sauce Dressing

There’s a few things Mr. Foodie and I gravitate towards for lunches on the weekends when it’s warm outside.  BLT’s, cold Tuna Sandwiches on toasted bread and cool Bean Salads.  With the cost of bacon being so ridiculously high these days the BLT’s are few and far between and as it turns out we were […]

050512 DILLED WHITE BEAN SALAD 2

Dilled White Bean and Tomato Salad

When I made our Crunchy Panko Crusted Cod a couple weeks ago I went searching for a side dish that would help me use up some of the fresh dill I had leftover.  I found this Dilled White Bean and Tomato Salad recipe.  It was perfect because I love experimenting with bean salads for two […]

043012 GREEK DRESSING 2

Tangy Greek Salad Dressing

We had this salad with our Meatless Monday meal that I’ll be posting about on, well, Monday. I thought it was so pretty I had to share. The salad had Romaine, Iceberg, Red Pepper, Tomato, Red Cabbage, Cucumber, Carrot, Celery, Onion, Feta and Kalamata Olives. The dressing came from Allrecipes and was adapted based on […]

032012 KFC COLESLAW 9

Copycat Recipe…KFC Coleslaw

Do you know what I heard the other day?  The reason why KFC changed its name from Kentucky Fried Chicken is because of the word “Fried”.  I haven’t verified this so don’t go hating on me if I’m wrong but it looks like The Food Police have made Fried such a dirty 5-Letter word that should not […]

031712 BROCCOLI SALAD 6

A Warm Weather Favorite…Broccoli Salad

I’m not overly fond of raw broccoli.  That may explain how this salad stayed under my radar for so long. We have a specialty food market in town.  They carry almost every exotic, hard to find and uber-expensive ingredient you can think of.  They also have a full service specialty deli counter with a full-time Chef as well […]

030712 MEXICAN COLESLAW 5

Cilantro Coleslaw

One of Mr. Foodies favorite things to eat is a good Fish Taco.  A few years ago I went searching for an awesome recipe to dish up.  Along the way I found this recipe and what we discovered is we absolutely love the coleslaw portion and I’ve been serving it up as a side dish […]

021812 MAC SALAD 8

Can’t Go Wrong…Classic Macaroni Salad

There’s a reason things are called Classics. Because they stand the test of time. In other words, they just plain work. One of my all-time favorite foods was my Grandma’s Macaroni Salad but I’ve never found her hand written recipe.  I have been trying to re-create her recipe ever since I was a teenager and […]

010112 CUCUMBER SALAD 3

Cucumber Salad

This is another one where I have not taken the time to figure out the exact recipe.  No real excuse here other than perhaps laziness…or maybe because I really enjoy running cool slices of cucumber through the creamy dressing until I’ve finally gotten the tartness just right and can end the process with a Jersey style fist […]
