If you like sesame oil, sesame seed and the slight tangy taste of rice vinegar, you have to try this green bean recipe! We were so happy with the way it tasted with our home grown green beans that I am making it this way again tomorrow! I can’t believe I have gone this long without fixing green beans this […]
This recipe belongs to my husband’s family. In fact he made it and all I had to do was take pictures. His Mom created this recipe for her husband while my husband was still a child. My husband has made this every year since we were married, 27 years ago! I Googled Creamy Cucumbers and all the recipes were made […]
Macaroni Salad is good anytime but especially when having a cookout and a picnic. I like making it the day before because the flavors all come together when it sits in the refrigerator. This is another simple basic recipe that tastes so good! I have made it this way since I started cooking. Boil and drain your macaroni. Place the […]
There is nothing like comfort food at a picnic. Potato Salad is always a staple at our picnics along with macaroni salad, deviled eggs, baked beans and of course hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill.

Chicken salad stuffed into a fresh tomato on a bed of lettuce garnished with fresh basil from the garden …. yummy! You could do the same thing with tuna salad. So simple to make if you make your chicken salad with leftover cooked chicken. What I did is purchase a cooked rotisserie chicken from Sam’s Club. Sam’s Club has the […]
Spinach fresh from our garden! This is the first picking and it was 8 oz of bright green Spinach leaves, just perfect for lunch. It always amazes me how much Spinach cooks down.
