Who knew a chicken salad sandwich could bring out the rudeness in me AND turn me in to a temporary stalker?! In my defense, it wasn’t just ANY chicken salad sandwich, it was a Chicken Salad Sandwich with Smoked Almonds…

Hot Sausage Canapes {aka “Man Squares”}
The first time Husband had these Hot Sausage Canapes, he immediately renamed them “Man Squares.” They are perfect to keep on hand for those times when the guys gather at your house to watch the game. Believe me, they’ve made me a hero during more than one football/hockey/basketball playoff. Continue Reading →
Amy Grant’s Chicken Salad {& “Bless This Table” Giveaway!}
It was nearing lunch time as I was putting this giveaway together, and decided to try Amy Grant’s Chicken Salad. Super easy, and very tasty, it’s just one of the 5 recipes from Amy and husband Vince Gill included in “Bless This Table” – the book that Raisin & Fig is giving away this week. I stumbled across this cookbook recently, and had to have a copy. I love the premise: Continue Reading →
Mini-Reubens {These will make you very popular}
If you ever want to make a cook’s day, request a favorite dish of his or hers. Speaking from experience, we’re so thrilled that we’ve had a “hit” we’ll gladly oblige!
For years, I hosted Husband’s annual office Christmas party at our house. The guinea pigs (God bless ’em!), who attended year after year, apparently had their patience rewarded with a few memorable offerings. That, and there was plenty of beer and wine…
As a result of those “experiments,” the one thing I’ve had more requests for really isn’t a “dish” – it’s a sandwich. And a mini-sandwich at that.
These Mini-Reuben Sandwiches are pretty much the perfect party food. You can make them well in advance, they’re easy to eat, and they’re “guy friendly.” And I don’t just make them for parties. For all the reasons above, if you stop by during football season, it’s a safe bet I’ll have some of these on hand.
This week, though, I learned that a friend’s wife (one of our frequent party guests) had undergone an emergency surgery, and I offered prayers and anything else that might help. His response? “Prayers are great! As for food, I could never refuse Mini-Reubens.”
Coming right up!
Cowgirl Turkey Burgers
Greetings from Couer d’Alene, Idaho! I’m spending a few days with my best friend and her horses, and we have worked up an appetite! (Those stalls don’t muck themselves, now, do they!?)
While I love spending time in the kitchen, spending a few gorgeous days in this beautiful place with these precious ponies takes priority on such a quick trip. So when we get back to the house at night – exhausted, sore and filthy… we want something delicious, but easy!
On the menu? Cowgirl Turkey Burgers! Maybe you’ve had a bad turkey burger experience. I’ve been there! I’m betting the burgers you’ve tried were either dry or flavorless or both. Several versions I’ve experimented with were too. But when a friend introduced me to these… WOWZA!
Grilled Apple Sandwich with Spinach, Havarti & Pesto
One of the joys of working from my home office is that I have easy access to my kitchen whenever the mood strikes. And it strikes often.
I’ve been struggling trying to learn more about this whole blog-thing and how to make things look like I want them to. {You’ll see that my “Favorite Things” section is labeled as “Coming Soon.” In the spirit of truth-in-advertising the label SHOULD say: “I have no idea what I’m doing, but as soon as I figure out how to write CSS and HTML , we’ll get some cool stuff posted here.”}
In the midst of some technical difficulties, I figured lunch would help. Continue Reading →
I didn’t want to love them…
This is Sally constructing some sliders as I post this!
Let me start out with a disclaimer: I’m pro healthy-eating. I’m anti white-bread. I don’t eat processed cheese, and I don’t like pickles. However, every once in awhile, it’s ok to “fall off the wagon” (food-wise) in the name of hunger. Or friendship. Moderation in everything, right?
So my dear friend Sally is truly a character. I love her dearly. While she’s one of the funniest and most generous people I know, her kitchen skills have mostly centered around Tater-Tot Hot Dish (it’s a Minnesota thing) and other dishes that rely heavily on butter and cheese. (She works for Land O’Lakes, so consider it a hazard of the job.) Continue Reading →
I'm glad you stopped by ... pull up a stool, grab your favorite beverage, and let's make something delicious!
