Cherry Chicken Salad: The Lucky Wife’s #1 Pregnancy Snack
June 27, 2011 by Leave a Comment
Today’s recipe is one I came across while pregnant with The Well-Fed Daughter at Parents Connect. They say it can help with nausea, but since I thankfully never experienced that, I would not know if it’s true or if it would have worked for me! I just knew that I seemed to be hungry constantly […]
Frog Eye Salad

This recipe is The Lucky Wife’s favorite fruit salad and also a recipe that she came across in a previous work setting, so again, not sure of the original source. A quick internet search did turn up a similar recipe that included maraschino cherries, which would taste great with the other ingredients in this version. […]

Although the vast majority of our recipes come from, or are adapted by, The Chef, today’s recipe happens to be one of my favorites and one I came across while working in a high school home economics class not long after I had graduated from college. I am not sure of the original source, and […]
Shrimp Salad with Bacon and Pineapple
June 4, 2011 by Leave a Comment
Does anyone besides me grow tired of cold salads with the same basic ingredients: meat, salt, pepper, onion and mayonnaise? I do. Or better yet, cold meat salads that are swimming in mayo? Might as well just eat spoonfuls of mayo straight out of the jar. Yum. This salad was created after a quick scan […]

Kicked Up Crock Pot Cubed Steak
May 14, 2011 by Leave a Comment
Okay…I’m from the South, and who in the South doesn’t like “Country Style Steak and Gravy”? I don’t see any hands raised, so we all must be in agreement that it is the epitome of comfort food. My personal favorite form of country style steak is made with Venison cubed steak., but I don’t have […]

Crockpot Turkey Meatloaf: Better than your mama’s meatloaf!
May 7, 2011 by Leave a Comment
This is not to knock on anyone’s mama’s meatloaf, especially the day before Mother’s Day, but this is seriously the best meatloaf we’ve ever had. Meatloaf recipes are a dime a dozen. Even with my culinary training, I had never found an ingredient combination that I really liked. They all seemed bland and tasteless, and […]

The Easter Bunny’s Favorite Healthy Treat: Carrot Dip
April 22, 2011 by Leave a Comment
Did the Easter Bunny get the shaft when it came to treats in your home growing up? Maybe my memory is just bad, but I don’t remember ever hearing about treats for the Easter Bunny like I did treats for Santa as a child. Google search results even prove this point with over 12 million […]
