Trying to eat healthy, and still serve delicious meals and snacks? Here’s a great little trick: Make cucumber boats for your sandwich salads instead of serving them on bread. We love how refreshing and light cucumber boats are, and they go great with almost any mixed salad. Above I’ve shown some cucumber boats topped them…
If you like BLT sandwiches… and if you like creamy tortellini salad…. then you will LOVE this awesome salad which is a combination of both! I added a little barbecue sauce to the ranch dressing to give it a just a hint of smokiness to compliment the bacon and other flavors. This is one of…
We love pasta salads, so I tend to make them a lot. This one is pretty standard, and you’ve probably seen a lot of salads like it, but it’s so delicious and easy to prepare I thought I’d share it with you anyway. We love to make this for picnics, potlucks, and game day! To…

Amp up the smokiness by using smoked chicken, along with the smoked almonds, if you have access to it. 3 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, smoked…
Are you a fan of the creamy, cheesy, ranchy, “crack” chicken? My friends and family love it so much, I decided to create a crack chicken recipe with a bit of a Mexican twist. I made this for Cinco de Mayo and everyone gave it rave reviews! Bacon Jalapeno Popper Crack Chicken! Easy to make…
