Chicken & Strawberry Salad w/ Balsamic Poppy Seed Dressing

Chicken & Strawberry Salad w/ Balsamic Poppy Seed Dressing
The weather has been all over the place hasn't it? One minute it's 70 degrees and sunny.  The next, x-amount of inches of snow on the ground.  It's okay though.  Spring is pushing it's way through, and that makes me happy!  So happy in fact that I am out grilling any time I can, a…

Cauliflower Soup

Cauliflower Soup
I have a problem. Sometimes I buy things at the store with the best intentions to use them for this, that, and the other. However life happens, and before I know it, I HAVE to use said item or I am going to lose it! Does anyone else have this problem? This is what happened to me tonight.  I had …

Some of you may remember the January Va. Beach trip I took for my birthday.  Well, on this trip my friends took me to this great seafood buffet called Captain George's .  I will confess, I was not super excited.  Why?  Because I am not a seafood lover, but I willingly went along and thought &qu…

Swedish Meatballs

Swedish Meatballs
Every once in a while my husband gets a "hankerin'" for something and asks me to make it.  It doesn't happen very often, but when it does I'm usually happy to comply.  Recently he was craving Swedish Meatballs.  Of course I smiled and said "Sure, I can do that", but…

Dirty Rice

Dirty Rice

Blackened Chicken

Blackened Chicken
Can I be transparent with you for just a moment? This past two weeks have been a NIGHTMARE!  Sickness ran rampant through my home, but I am happy to say that after two trips to the doctor, two prescriptions, and countless over-the-counter medications, I am starting to feel like a human again! With…
