Thai Larb Salad
When life gives you Boston Bibb lettuce and chicken, the first thing that comes to mind are lettuce wraps. Our Chicken & Cashew Lettuce Wraps are a favorite but these Thai Larb Salad cups may have just inched them out in a popularity contest.

Roasted Tomatoes with Shrimp & Feta
There was ‘something’ about this Roasted Tomatoes with Shrimp & Feta that grabbed my attention from the moment I saw it. Which was two days ago, somewhere between 3:30 and 4:00 am, while lying in bed surfing Pinterest on my phone. This wide awake in the middle of the night thing has become a bit of a habit. I’ve been told it’s the age, for now I call it my inspirational ‘me’ time.

Asparagus Fries {with Maple Dijon Dipping Sauce}
Okay these were a hit. Fresh asparagus coated in panko breadcrumbs then baked to crispy perfection. Asparagus Fries. Look at you giving Zucchini Fries a run for their money.

Crab Louie Salad Sliders
Crab Louie Salad Sliders. The Crab Louie Salad has been around for over 100 years and first became popular on the West Coast of the United States (or was it King Louie himself who first dined on this salad…the world may never know). The salad consists of crisp lettuce, sliced tomato, hard boiled eggs, ripe olives, sometimes asparagus….and of course gorgeous crab meat which is tossed in Crab Louie Dressing.

Italian Sausage Wrapped in Bread Dough {aka Big Pig in a Blanket}
Get a room full of people together for nearly any occasion, set out a platter of Pigs in a Blanket, and prepare to watch them disappear. In a hurry. We’ve become very fond of Jennie-O Hot Italian Turkey Sausage. They seem to be on the menu most every week in one form or another. It was on the back of their packaging that I saw this fabulous idea for Italian Sausage Wrapped in Bread Dough.

Buffalo Chicken Taquitos
Once you’ve made a batch of Buffalo Chicken Dip, you’ve opened up endless recipe-twist possibilities. I decided on Buffalo Chicken Taquitos. Warm corn tortillas filled with buffalo chicken dip and a little shredded cheddar…all rolled up and baked into a great new appetizer.

Buffalo Chicken Dip
Who doesn’t LOVE Buffalo Chicken Dip?!! I’m certain Shelby requested it multiple times per week when we first discovered it years ago. It remains a family favorite and just this morning my sister requested a copy of the recipe. Can’t believe I haven’t shared it before now. There are lots of variations of this great dip. Here’s how we put it together.
