Deviled Egg Potato Salad
Two of my favorite summer foods are deviled eggs and potato salad. So why not put them together? I decided to try that out, and found that this Deviled Egg Potato Salad is soooo good! The deviled egg mixture is so yummy with a sprinkling of paprika on top and the potato salad is a creamy…

Shoepeg Corn Salad with Honey Dressing
I was looking through some old recipes I’d clipped from magazines awhile ago and came across one for Shoepeg Salad. It sounded like a great side dish for summer. I found some other variations on this salad at different recipe sites and ended up making my own version. This is a sweet, crisp salad; some sites describe it as a “relish.” It’s great…

Down-Home Tomatoes with Okra
Cooking with a slow cooker is so convenient, and it’s even better when you can make healthy meals in it!

Cheesy Roasted Cauliflower
I really didn’t know what to expect when I was making this Cheesy Roasted Cauliflower. I had never tried roasting cauliflower before, so this was something new for me. I’m not a particularly big fan of cauliflower either, but I do love roasted veggies—so I thought it would be worth a try!

I found this recipe at MyRecipes and changed it a little by using spicy mustard instead of Dijon mustard, and adding extra…

Creamy Dill Potato Salad
If you like dill pickles and dill seasoning, you’ll want to try this potato salad! I’ve had this recipe for awhile and there are three things I really like about it: 1) it has red potatoes in it, which I prefer over regular potatoes, 2) you don’t need to peel the potatoes (I find potato peeling…

French Onion Turkey Casserole
This is a great recipe if you have any turkey left over from your big holiday meals! I found this recipe for French Onion Turkey Casserole at CampbellsKitchen.com. As I typically do, though, I added extra cheese to this, and I’m glad I did–I thought it was great with the extra cheese!

Honey-Sweetened Cucumber Salad
If you are growing cucumbers in your garden this summer, this is a great side dish to use them in! I found a recipe at Our Best Bites that I modified a little…I used honey instead of sugar as a sweetener, used a little less salt, and used white wine vinegar instead of rice vinegar.…

Tabouleh Salad from Quinoa Cuisine
I’ve heard that quinoa is very good for you, but didn’t realize it was a superfood until I reviewed Quinoa Cuisine, a new cookbook that features 150 creative quinoa recipes, from salads and soups to entrees and desserts. The introduction to the book gives you a good overview about quinoa, which is very helpful if…
