Carrot Craisin Salad

Posted on March 3, 2018 by Jamie H

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

Posted on August 30, 2017 by Kerry

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

Autumn Roasted Sweet Potato and Arugula Salad

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

Broccoli and Jicama Coleslaw

Posted on May 15, 2017 by Kerry

Broccoli and Jicama Coleslaw is a twist on traditional coleslaw. It has great flavor and easy to make. It’s a perfect side for a BBQ. Memorial Day is just around the corner.

Layered Salad

Posted on April 17, 2017 by Jamie H

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

Dark chocolate and berries come together in this delightfully light and fluffy salad! Is Dark Chocolate Berry Salad a salad or a dessert? It’s up to you! My sister-in-law makes a Pistachio Pudding that’s delicious and super easy! I got the recipe from her, and have made it several times, but right before the 4th of July when I went to the store they were missing one of the ingredients. I needed to figure out something else to make for our family picnic, and didn’t want to run all over town looking for ingredients, so I came up with a
