After the success of Sandra’s Tomato, Basil, Mozzarella salad during our catering event, I decided to do a similar salad for the Seekers luncheon. I wanted to have a pasta salad, so to bulk up the traditional TBM I added whole wheat rotini and pesto. These flavors are just great for the summer, it’s aRead more
This is a great easy salad. I decided to leave out the suggested feta from the original recipe, but I think that would be a wonderful flavor addition, or goat cheese! This also makes a huge quantity (and is easy to make more or less of), so it’s great for potlucks or parties. Roasted GreenRead more
I have a problem. I am completely unable to estimate amounts. For the Seekers luncheon we had enough food to feed at least 100 (I’m halving all the amounts I used for a more realistic serving size). However it’s really hard to guess how much a recipe will make. For example, the recipe for thisRead more
Sunday we had offered a lunch after church as a way for people to hang out and chat for a longer time than our usual coffee hour. We had a birthday theme since we’re at the halfway point and can celebrate all the birthdays that have come and all the upcoming ones. For the eventRead more
Sometimes salad is boring. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big fan of salad. I love all the things you can do with it, and it’s really delicious on a hot day. But every once in a while it just gets boring. This salad dressing is for those times. The blueberry makes it slightly sweet.Read more
Sorry for being so slow getting last Tuesday’s recipes posted! It’s been a crazy week! I unexpectedly had to go in for a physical to make sure I’m in good health to donate bone morrow through DKMS Americas. Then I worked with my friend, Sandra to do a big catering job. So for three daysRead more
To go with the Indian theme of the Tomato and Red Lentil Soup, I found this Cabbage Slaw recipe in this month’s Cooking Light magazine. I thought it was a great complement to the soup! This is also great on it’s own and was good the next day too. Cabbage Slaw with Tangy Mustard SeedRead more
I was very intrigued when I first saw this salad. It’s a really unique combination of ingredients that I would have never thought to combine, but I like them all separately, so how could it be bad? It is DELICIOUS! Such a wonderful fresh spring salad! You’ll definitely want to give it a try! BlackRead more
I’m always on the quest for a good chicken salad recipe. I have an idealized memory of the chicken salad that was served at a coffee shop near my college. River Road Coffeehouse made a mean chicken salad sandwich. It had almonds and pineapple in it and it was served on a croissant! What’s notRead more
So last night’s SCL dinner was my 12th week. It was also the last class of the second term (don’t worry, a 3rd term starts next week!). After all this time I figured it was about time I made the ultimate scary vegetarian food: tofu! I’m a big fan of tofu, but don’t make itRead more
