Raspberry Pretzel Salad is always the first thing to disappear at any potluck dinner. It's completely delicious and everyone will want the recipe.

Broken Glass Jello
Another recipe that when I saw it, I knew I had to make it. My kids loved these. I was skeptical on how they would taste, but they are a new favorite way to eat Jello in my house.

Spinach Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing
I love love love this salad! I actually grew spinach in my garden this year just so I could make this salad anytime I wanted. Not kidding. My neighbor made this for a church dinner and I asked her for the recipe right then. Only I had to wait a few weeks to get it because she left for England the next day. Those were some long weeks. I made this salad the day after I finally got this recipe. Now, you can make this as the recipe says if you are serving it to a group of people, or you can do like … [Read more...]
Asian Chicken Salad
Asian Chicken Salad is a staple at any potluck dinner we have. It's one of my favorite salads and I crave it a lot! The first time I had this was when my grandma made it for a dinner a long time ago. I crave it all the time now. I love the flavor and crunch of the toasted almonds and sesame seeds. It's best to make this and chill for about 5 hours for the flavor to get into the chicken. It gets all nice and juicy. The cabbage and almonds will soften if left too long so it's perfect for … [Read more...]
