I’ve been trying to make healthy changes for myself and for my family, and one thing I’ve decided to try is to have a salad each day, preferably at lunch because that’s the meal that I make the most bad decisions about.  It seems that I’m usually busy mid-day and end up eating fast food...

Vacation Cooking

This post should have been titled “a whole bunch of tasty recipes”.  I can’t do a Menu Planning Monday post this week, because we were on vacation last week in Pawleys Island, South Carolina.  Instead of a menu plan I want to share a few delicious recipes (and some tantalizing pictures) with you.  We feasted...
Crunchy Slaw - A Perfect Picnic Recipe

Crunchy Slaw – A Perfect Picnic Recipe
