There is a difference of opinion at our house. I know this might come as a shock to some of you, but others will completely understand. When it comes to cucumbers and onions, Ever-Lovin’ likes the combination to be sweet. I, on the other hand, like a more vinegary taste. Sweet Mother of Pearl. I […]
Blue Watermelon Walnut Salad Caution – this salad can become an addiction! (That is the disclaimer that came with this salad from watermelon.org.) I believe them. Now, I do not have wonderful pictures of this salad because when cooking for Sheila’s party, it was hard to have time to take pictures. The Blue Watermelon Walnut […]
Dear friend Pat sent me this recipe. It is originally from the Food Network’s Cooking Live show. Sweet Mother of Pearl! Cucumber Salsa is now my new favorite recipe for cucumbers and tomatoes. I honestly would call this a salad rather than a salsa, but let’s go with what the original recipe called it. When the […]
The menu for our Father’s Day Lunch centered around the foods Ever-Lovin’ loves. We had been to the Saturday’s farmers market and had plenty of veggies to cook. Basically it was a Southern comfort food type of meal. For those who are interested, here was our menu: Meatloaf Carrot Salad (recipe to follow) Cucumber Salsa […]
I have so been wanting to eat Chinese Cole Slaw. It is one of my all time favorite salads, but… It makes a big salad, so I have to wait for a time when I will be feeding a crowd. Our lunch at Sarah’s filled the bill. Yea! This is another recipe from my mother’s […]
I read a version of this recipe – Mango Cucumber Salad – on Mennonite Girls Can Cook’s blog this week and could not wait to try it. Mainly I wanted to make it because Ever-Lovin’ likes mangos, and I was trying to impress him on Father’s Day. He declared this salad “good stuff” – which […]
Tuesday morning I was with some friends, and of course, the topic of what we were going to have for our Thanksgiving meal was discussed. Shelly mentioned that she was looking forward to a fruit salad her relative always brought to their family gathering. She related that the salad had pineapple, little oranges, coconut, […]
WOW Reunion 2012- There it sat at the end of the counter. It had good presentation – tomatoes surrounded the edge of the bowl, and I thought it might be a rice salad. I took a good sized spoonful, and continued filling my plate with other delicious salads. Eventually I took a bite of the […]
This blog is brought to you on the recommendation of Ever-Lovin’. While traveling to the ends of the earth doing errands yesterday (Remember the leopard print lunch bag with hot pink trim.), out of the blue says he, “If you haven’t planned your blog for today, you could blog about the Avocado and Mango Salsa […]
It was so good to see Paula at the WOW Reunion. She is a dear friend and wonderful cook. (She has even worked at Williams-Sonoma. I am too jealous for words! It is little consolation that she spent more than she made. Wouldn’t I like to try that.) I love it when she emails […]
