This is my daughter’s favorite salad, she literally licks the plate clean when I make it. I love it because it is crisp and refreshing and comes together easily. The combination of flavors is really nice – the sweetness from the sugar, tartness from vinegar, a little salt and a […]

Summer Asian Slaw
The Asian pack has always been one of my favorites! I love to make up large batches of egg rolls and wontons ( some fried and some raw to use for wonton soup) and stock my freezer. Who doesn’t love a wok full of colorful stir fry?
Cucumber Citrus Salad
“Cool as a cucumber….” Cucumbers are so refreshing! Cucumber salads are fun to make and can be flavored to add to your entree or to eat alone. I had lots of oranges and wanted to make a sweet cucumber salad. I added some thinly sliced almonds and celery to give […]
