It is practically a requirement to eat egg salad sandwiches the day after Easter. Or for an entire week after Easter if you have lots of kids who collected gads of eggs. Funny story actually, at my parents yesterday there were LOADS of kids scurrying about collecting eggs (we have a big family). Candy filled,… Continue reading Simple Egg Salad Sandwich

Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs
It's Easter time and everyone is getting their eggs ready to be dyed, hidden, found and gobbled up. I've discovered a couple of things that help create absolutely perfectly hard-boiled eggs. You may be thinking "How hard can it be? Throw some eggs in some bubbling water, right?" Wrong! It's really a science. There are… Continue reading Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs
Zucchini “Crab” Cakes
I made these delightful "crab" cakes for my kids tonight so that my hubby and I could have Baked Salmon Cakes without worrying about my daughter's seafood allergy. Worked like a charm. Our dinner looked enough like theirs that there was no arguing or whining, and my 4 & 2-year-old chowed down on these cakes… Continue reading Zucchini “Crab” Cakes
Baked Salmon Cakes with Dijon Dill Dipping Sauce
I've been in the mood for salmon recently. It is incredibly troubling to me that my daughter is allergic to my most favorite seafood. As much as I love salmon, I'm not over the moon about the idea of having to cook two separate meals so Madison has something to eat while I enjoy moist,… Continue reading Baked Salmon Cakes with Dijon Dill Dipping Sauce
Herbed Pork Tenderloin with Oven Roasted Potatoes
I've made pork tenderloin several different ways in the past. I've marinated it, put it in the slow cooker, charred it good in a pan with some hot oil - the usual suspects. Yesterday I was feeling a little lazy. If you've never cooked one, you might think a roast is a super fancy meal… Continue reading Herbed Pork Tenderloin with Oven Roasted Potatoes
Baked Chicken Nuggets
My kids love "Old MacDonalds" chicken nuggets. Truth be told, so do I. It was generally cheeseburger Happy Meals for me as a kid because 5 kids times the extra money to splurge for the nugget meal for each of us made McDonald's not such a great deal for my parents. I never lost that… Continue reading Baked Chicken Nuggets
Chicken Noodle Soup Casserole
Chicken noodle soup has to be one of the great comfort foods on the planet. When I'm sick, it makes me feel way better. Even if it's all in my head, somehow the steamy broth and flavors of chicken, noodles and veggies help me turn the corner towards wellness. The problem is, when I'm not… Continue reading Chicken Noodle Soup Casserole
Chicken Florentine Casserole
I had just put this casserole in the oven when my husband walked in the door from work today. The first words out of his mouth were "Man, something sure smells good!". I responded with "It could be the bacon, or the sautéed mushrooms, spinach and onions. Or possibly the Parmesan cheese cream sauce." It… Continue reading Chicken Florentine Casserole
Cabbage Rolls
Apparently corned beef/cabbage last Thursday and the slaw with my pulled pork didn't give me enough of a cabbage fix already this week. I guess when the stuff goes on sale around St. Patrick's Day, I want to make the most of it. I used up most of a head of this smelly veggie tonight… Continue reading Cabbage Rolls
Crispy Cheese Pulled Pork Tacos with Sesame Slaw
It's Taco Tuesday! I have died and gone to over-eating heaven. Seriously. Dinner tonight was quite possibly the most delicious food I've had all year. Possibly in the past 5 years. I cannot remember the last meal I enjoyed more than what I shared with my family tonight. My daughter declared "Mommy, this is so… Continue reading Crispy Cheese Pulled Pork Tacos with Sesame Slaw
