Peas Cheese and Pickles

Posted on May 30, 2018 by Kerry

Peas Cheese and Pickles is a great side salad that changes things up from a green salad. Great variety of flavors and textures. As a kid my mom made Peas Cheese and Pickles. I thought this was a family recipe and that no one besides our family had ever made it. I had never seen it in a restaurant. I had never had it at a friend’s house. It was just something we only had at home. Then I moved to Texas. Peas Cheese and Pickles salad was something available at all the BBQ restaurants. It was a little different

Carrot Craisin Salad

All it takes is 3 ingredients and 5 minutes to make this delicious Carrot Craisin Salad! This is seriously the easiest salad recipe ever. Three ingredients, and five minutes of your time (unless you have to shred the carrots by hand with a grater, and then it might be closer to 10 minutes), and you’ve got a delicious side dish. My mom made this salad when I was a kid, but she used raisins instead of Craisins. I love the little bit of tang and sweetness that Craisins bring to carrot Craisin salad, so that’s how I make it.

Creamed Corn

Creamed Corn is a delicious side dish to make with fresh corn. It has great texture and flavor. It is a wonderful fall vegetable side dish. The garden is really going crazy. I have more cucumbers than I know what to do with. I hadn’t been in the garden in a couple days and the basil has gone crazy. Time to make more pesto. The last time I looked at the tomatoes, there were a lot but they just weren’t ready yet. The jalapeno plants are so heavy with peppers that they have fallen over. The broccoli is producing like

Posted on August 10, 2017 by Kerry

Autumn Roasted Sweet Potato and Arugula Salad has great fall flavors. Many of the ingredients are in season during the fall. It gives you a healthy way to enjoy the flavors of autumn. My diet has recently become very limited. I have had to cut out dairy, beans, nuts, and carbonated drinks. Some days it’s hard for me to find something to eat. I was hunting for a salad that used what I have ready in the garden and was something I could eat. I stumbled upon a picture and a description of the perfect salad. It didn’t have a

Baked Acorn Squash

Posted on August 7, 2017 by Kerry

Baked Acorn Squash is an easy vegetable dish. With butter and brown sugar, it is slightly sweet, amazingly delicious and mostly healthy. I have grown acorn squash in my garden every year since we bought our house. I haven’t gotten much out of my acorn squash plants in the past. One year one of the plants disappeared. It was the year the pumpkins took over. This year my plant looks great. I am hoping to get lots more out of it. The Hardworking Husband loves acorn squash and that’s why I’ve kept planning them. When we first got married, I

Crock Pot Dr. Pepper Baked Beans

Posted on July 27, 2017 by Jamie H

Delicious Crock Pot Dr. Pepper Baked Beans with caramelized onions and bacon! Many years ago, before having kids, I took a dutch oven class. I was in college, and I needed an elective, and I thought dutch oven cooking would be fun. In the class, we were put into groups of 3-4 students. Each week we would have to come up with a recipe to make, and then we would make that recipe in a dutch oven, and when all the recipes were finished we would put the dutch ovens in a line and dish up. It was a really

Layered Salad

A fun and delicious layered salad with something for everyone! My mom has been making this salad for as long as I can remember, and it’s always been a hit with crowds! It’s great for a potluck, barbecue, or any get together! I love that this is a salad that I can throw together pretty quickly, it goes a long ways, and I always get asked for the recipe. When my husband and I started dating, I was surprised that he didn’t hardly eat vegetables at all. His idea of salad was some iceberg lettuce. My mom had always pushed
