Originally published on July 16, 2014 I go back to my hometown a couple times a year, and I always love doing foodie experiments while I’m there (and I don’t think anyone minds being my guinea pigs.) This past visit, we had an abundance of red cabbage to work with and so, after several other red cabbage experiments, I […]

Crispy Chicken Caesar Salad
Originally published on August 1, 2014 Chicken fingers don’t last for very long in my house. I have two children who are like finger monsters and eat them just about any chance they get. But I also have a husband with a very limited palate (I don’t know, is that a nicer way to say he’s […]
Panzanella
Originally published on August 5, 2014 When I first heard of this thing known as bread salad, or “panzanella,” I didn’t know quite what to make of it. I guess that’s par for the course with me, as I might be the only person I know that doesn’t like croutons on my Caesar salad. But, getting […]
Caprese Salad
Originally published on September 16, 2014 Caprese salad is the ultimate dish to show how you can make something beautiful and delicious using only a few ingredients, and just letting them shine.

Warm Bean Salad
Originally published on October 3, 2014 Sometimes you only have to change the smallest thing about a dish and it becomes something completely different.

But I really don’t like lettuce all that much (especially the mostly-useless Iceberg lettuce.) But, I’ve found a solution. […]
Argentinian Steak Salad
Originally published on March 25, 2015 Argentinian steak salad is a dish that comes straight from the restaurant. If you don’t think it looks tasty (and how could you not?), consider that we had it as a feature several months back and it was so popular that it found a permanent home on our new menu. […]
Harvest Salad
Originally published on June 4, 2015 This salad sort of comes from my work. While we serve a salad that’s very, very similar to this (and we do call it Harvest Salad), I did have to make several substitutions due to what I had in my fridge. It’s so good, I often say I’m pretty sure this This salad sort of comes from […]

With just a few ingredients this is one salad in which the potatoes really shine. It’s super tasty and you can make it the night before and have your side all […]
Corn and Black Bean Salad
Originally published on June 12, 2015 While preparing my menu for my daughter’s First Communion last month, I knew I wanted to put out a terrific bean salad of some sort, and that I wanted to keep it relatively simple – simple has been my thing lately. As I started rinsing beans, shucking corn, and whipping together […]
