Dill Pickle Tuna Salad
I’m a big fan of tuna salad. It makes such a quick, easy meal and you can make sandwiches, wraps, or put a big scoop of it on top of some salad greens!

Cucumber, Tomato, and Onion Salad
If you have a vegetable garden, you may may have planted some cucumbers and tomatoes. And throughout the summer, there’s a good chance you’ll end up with quite a bit of these because they seem to grow so well in gardens! Here’s a recipe you can use your cukes and tomatoes in…it’s a quick and…

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…

Orange Julius
It is hot outside today…the type of day you think about having an Orange Julius. I had found a recipe at Mel’s Kitchen Cafe that I wanted to try, and I thought it was really good! I added a little more sugar to mine, but if you don’t want a sweeter Julius, then stick with the…

2012 Baked Bean Sandwich

Tomato Basil Avocado Soup
This cool, summer soup sounded good to me because it didn’t involve any cooking, and it has been so hot these past couple of days! This is a “raw food” recipe. You may have heard about all the health benefits there are to eating raw. I’ve read a little about it, although I’m no expert…

A Bushel-Filled Birthday Gift
I have a friend who has a birthday right around Memorial Day weekend. So this year, I decided to put together a gift with a red, white, and blue theme. Okay…it’s actually red, white, and teal—but that’s close enough! 🙂 I thought I’d tell you how I put this together in case you wanted to…

Zesty Watermelon Salsa
Watermelon is one of my favorite things to eat in the summer–so I just had to post a watermelon recipe before the season ends! I saw this recipe at CountryLiving.com, and I knew right away I wanted to try it. The juicy, sweet watermelon gets a lively kick when it’s mixed with the jalapeno peppers,…

Chopped Salad to Go
Here’s a fast, easy, and healthy lunch idea my friend Ann told me about. She saw this recipe over at Kraft Foods. I thought it sounded good, too, so I tried it out and thought it was great! This easy salad is so much better than fast food and perfect when you’re in a time…
