Homemade Mayo...because I was too lazy to go to the store.
Tuesday, September 10, 2013
Kiddo requested BSTs for dinner this week. BST? Bacon, spinach, and turkey sandwiches. Mr. E & I actually have BSTATs...bacon, spinach, turkey, avocado, tomato. They're a favorite...and oh-so-fancy. (Not.)
At 5:00pm, I realized we were OUT OF MAYONNAISE. Keep in mind that the grocery store is about 3 minutes away, but the thought of going back after having been there 3 hours earlier was just *too much.*
Apple, Grape and Celery Salad
Saturday, June 22, 2013
Two truths about me:
- I'm not good at side dishes. I'm not sure if I'm lazy (I am), or if it's that we have a family of three and making another dish will just lead to more leftovers we won't eat. Whatever the reason, our "side dishes" look a lot like "a pile of baby carrots," or "a handful of grape tomatoes."
- As a rule, I don't waste calories on salad. (Well, unless it's a salad with Snickers.) It's not that I don't like salad...I'd just rather eat a sandwich.
It's quick...it's easy...and it keeps the in fridge for a few days. (The vinegar keeps the apples from browning.) Call it an updated, lighter Waldorf Salad. Call it lunch. Call it your new favorite.

Irish Beer Cheese Soup
Tuesday, March 12, 2013
Do I even need to write anything here? This recipe contains beer, cheese, and is topped with popcorn. I think it speaks for itself. ;)
I ask you to forgive the pictures as we were trying to sit down to dinner, the popcorn was sinking, and well, I was hungry. Picture this soup with a pretty mound of popcorn on top. Thank you.

Man-Pleaser Salad
Monday, September 3, 2012
Even though Mr. E really likes salads, some seem to really go over better than others.
Enter the BBQ Chicken + Blue Cheese Salad {with candied pecans and dried cherries}.
The idea originally came (not from this book) from the sister-in-law of my friend Terri, who, if I remember correctly, worked as a chef on a yacht. Terri & I were both newly married and learning how to cook, and Terri's SIL suggested salad with BBQ chicken, balsamic dressing, blue cheese and pecans. It was the first fancy salad I ever made...unless you count my mom's salad with spinach and canned mandarin oranges.
This is one of those great salads that doesn't taste too "summery" to me...we eat it all year long. I think it's the BBQ sauce. Yep. I'm sure it is. BBQ sauce makes it timeless. You can quote me on that.
