Caesar Chicken Salad
I enjoyed this salad for three days in a row! I changed up the salad dressing and shredded cheese topping each day, so I wouldn’t feel like I was eating the same ol’salad.
I used the extra Caesar Chicken fillets from the night before to make this salad filling and keep away the hunger pains [...]
Caesar Chicken Dinner
One of my favorite salad dressing makers is Briannas Homestyle dressings. I keep several different flavors on my fridge door. Well, the other day, I was staring down at four skinless boneless chicken boobs considering what I was going to do with them. I’ve read recipes that call for slabbing Ranch or Italian [...]

Chicken with Ham and Cheese
Every NEW recipe I try, I follow the cookbook instructions exactly. It’s helps to understand where the recipe creator was going before I detour off on my own the next time. IF there’s going to be a next time. There are certain rules, I created years ago, to help me sift recipes [...]

Baked Ham
Baked hams are not just for special occasions. Of course, it seems we can always get them at a better price around the holidays.
I love a good sale, one that makes me want to stock up. Oooo, the word “Clearance” really makes me stop what I’m doing. Have you ever been in [...]
Healthy Blueberry Muffin Recipe
This simple recipe is for breakfast or dessert. I made so many, we snacked on them all day long.
This past week, I picked up a 1/2 pint of organic blueberries from my local CO-OP just to bake muffins. My family absolutely loves blueberry muffins, so I wanted to spoil them just a bit. [...]
