Tuna Mac with Peas. A family favorite comfort food. A blog is after all a place to share memories. I couldn’t recall how it came to be that Tuna Mac with Peas became such a favorite with my sister and I….so I called her and asked her.

Waldorf Salad {with Honey-Cardamom Dressing}

I appreciate and (on occasion) aspire to create a unique and intriguing ‘Pasta Salad.’ Yet they will never make me as happy as Macaroni Salad does.

Triple Chocolate Triple Layer Mayonnaise Cake {Share the Love}
Hold on now. You don’t have to love mayonnaise to love this Triple Chocolate Triple Layer Mayonnaise Cake. Mayonnaise is after all eggs and oil, two key ingredients in chocolate cake. This cake is so moist and oh so chocolatey, it’s become our family’s favorite.

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.
