Lots of Layers Salad

This layer salad is one of Kelli’s favorites that I have made for years. I think when I first started making layered salads like this, my recipe had 6 or 7 layers. Well, I like lots of goodies in my salad, so I continually add more layers! I mean, who wants plain greens when there’s …

Green Bean Bundles

Green Bean Bundles have been one of the staple side dishes on my sister’s holiday table for a number of years. As a child, my mother fixed green beans by cooking them for a long time with ham, bacon or new potatoes. While I happen to really love them that way, this recipe gives a …

Best Broccoli Rice Casserole Ever

If you are looking at broccoli rice casserole recipes, you will find dozens of variations of a basic recipe. I like most any one of them, but here is my absolute, hands down, favorite broccoli casserole in the whole world! It has been on the menu of every special holiday in my family as long …

Chicken Gnocchi Soup

Fairly often, my youngest daughter lets me know that we need to have a “girl’s day” together. This typically means that we will go visit her favorite craft stores, shop for clothes (for her), and eat lunch out at her favorite Italian restaurant. She’s twelve years old now and I love that she enjoys hanging …

Cheesy Beef & Potato Soup

I just love Pinterest! I can spend hours looking at pins, repinning, and sorting things into my categories. I decided a couple of months ago, that having a single board called “recipes” wasn’t adequate. If I ever wanted to actually go back and find something that I had pinned, I had better do a better …

Cheddar Parmesan Potatoes

When your vegetable dish has potatoes and cheese in it, what’s not to love? I made meatloaf to serve this with, but I think it would be especially good served with ham or pork chops. This potato recipe would also be great to take to a potluck dinner since it can be made ahead …

Spinach Bites

Besides all the great lectures I got to sit in on and the technology I got to play with at the TAASLP convention (mentioned in my last post), I should also take a minute to brag talk about college bowl. (It’s kind of a big deal. To us students, anyway.) On Thursday night of …

Avocado Aioli

Have you ever played whack-a-mole… without your hands? Spoken a word without your mouth? I had the coolest experience this weekend at the TAASLP (Tennessee Association for Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists) convention in Murfreesboro, TN. That translates to 2 days in a swanky hotel with free chocolate chip cookies and an all day coffee …

Cavatini

In the year 2001, I collected recipes from church friends and put those together in a cookbook that was used to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. My friend Lori has a daughter with CF, so she is always looking for ways to raise money to contribute for research. I asked everyone to …

Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal

Since my mom froze several pints of pumpkin last fall (and was kind enough to give some away), I reap the benefit of having summertime access to pumpkin puree. That’s a really great thing because, well, I really like pumpkin. I also really like baked oatmeal. I made this one morning while Justin was …
