Summer Berry Salad

Summer Berry Salad

Does anyone else’s taste change depending on the season?! In the winter I crave warm, comforting foods. In the summer, I crave cool, fresh, bright flavors. It must not be just me. I came across a new salad dressing at a local market and bought 

Perfectly Simple Potato Salad

Perfectly Simple Potato Salad

I love a potato salad with bells and whistles like the rest of us, but sometimes, simple is better. It is a no-frills, easy and quick recipe. I especially enjoy this at cookouts because there are often so many flavors happening. This offers a refreshing, 

Roast Split Chicken

I was slightly perplexed when my husband came home with split chicken this past week. I had never cooked that before. We often cook chicken breast or a whole roast chicken, so admittedly I didn’t really know what to do with it or what it

Healthy Pumpkin Waffles

Healthy Pumpkin Waffles

  Anyone who knows me, knows I have a special love of homemade waffles.  Luckily, my kids have this same love. They prefer my homemade waffles to anything else. Waffles are great made ahead, too. They freeze really well and toast up perfectly in the
