I was having a ‘Martha Stewart’ day yesterday. Literally. After a week of playing with my girlfriends while Hubby was gone topped by the holiday, I did very little kitchen time. I couldn’t wait to get back to normal and start cooking and blogging again. While I was looking for a side dish to go […]

I’m not a big fan of traditional potato salad. You know what I’m talking about – the egg-y, mustard-y, mayonaisse-y kind. Not that I don’t like eggs, mustard or mayonaisse – just not on my taters! For years, I’ve tried different variations of potato salad and never found one I liked so I made up […]

As promised, here’s the wonderful side salad/dish that I made to go with last night’s halibut. It’s an easy to make spring dish that would go so easily with any entree. The original recipe came from Food and Wine but I switched it up a bit….of course. Quinoa is my new favorite grain. It’s so full of good stuff […]
