Who doesn’t love a great tasting salsa or Pico de Gallo! I had a lot of trial and error getting this recipe to where I liked it. You can eat it just like this for Pico de Gallo or cook it on top of the stove until the vegetables are tender, like I do, for salsa. Either way, it is […]
Delicious Andouille Sausage makes any Cajun dish taste great. Pair it up with pasta and what a great meal! What’s nice about this dish is you can control the heat buy using more or less of the Cajun seasonings. If you’re not a big fan of the heat, leave the Cajun seasonings out all together as the Andouille Sausage has […]
Mandarin Salad is one of my favorite salads made with homemade Sweet & Sour Dressing with Parsley (link below). This salad dressing is the key to this salad. The fresh vegetables in this salad combined with the amazing salad dressing and mandarin oranges make this such a refreshing salad. This is a great salad to impress your guests but to […]
Our garden cucumbers are almost done so I needed to try one last cucumber recipe. This recipe has a delicious creamy taste with only 5 ingredients. I love sour cream but I have never mixed it with cucumbers (we always use Miracle Whip). This doesn’t take long to make and it is a great side dish for family or guests. […]

On http://www.FoodNetwork.com I found this fabulous recipe! It was so easy and quick to make and what a great […]
What do you do when you don’t have enough tomatoes to can but too many tomatoes to use up before they go bad? You make a pan of stewed tomatoes. Then you use them with your favorite recipe that calls for a can of crushed or diced tomatoes. Think spaghetti sauce, chili, soup, cabbage rolls etc. Below is simple instructions […]
Our tomatoes from our garden have been coming for about 3 weeks now. Way earlier than normal, however, the large tomatoes are just starting. What else do you do when that happens? Well BLT’s of course! I wait all summer for that wonderful garden tomato taste. I refuse to eat hot-house tomatoes so I am ready to dig in when […]

I can officially say that I like Leeks after tasting this Potato Leek Soup! It is a delicious creamy potato soup with leeks instead of onion. It gives the normal potato soup a makeover since leeks are a cross between an onion and garlic. I know it’s hot outside but the leeks only grow here in the summer. Give this […]
Leeks…..you either love them or you hate them. They are a cross between garlic and onions. We picked fresh Leeks from our garden today which is a new vegetable for us to grow. I personally don’t like Leeks myself but my husband is obsessed with onions and decided to grow them this year. We decided on a simple recipe first, […]
