Shaved Broccoli and Apple Salad

Shaved Broccoli and Apple Salad

When warm weather arrives, I start craving crisp, fresh salads, and this Shaved Broccoli Apple Salad is one I come back to again and again. Thinly shaved broccoli, crunchy apple, and a light tarragon dressing come together to create a salad that’s fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly satisfying.

Seattle Pork Roast Sandwich

Seattle Pork Roast Sandwich

I think you guys are gonna love the Seattle Pork Roast Sandwich as much as I do. I  was going to make it for the big game last Sunday, the Seahawks vs. the Rams. Long story short, Mother Nature waylaid all plans with icy sleet here in Georgia. What I think of as normal “up Nord” is no joke in the South. The Seahawks won, so second chances all around for the Super Bowl.

Classic Hot Artichoke Dip

Classic Hot Artichoke Dip

I’ve been around for a while, and back in the late 80s and early 90s, this very simple, four-ingredient Classic Hot Artichoke Dip was all the rage…long before Spinach Artichoke Dip was even a twinkle in Olive Garden’s eye! (And if you’re wondering, there’s no spinach here.)

Copycat Olive Garden Dressing

Copycat Olive Garden Dressing

I tried a few different Copycat Olive Garden Dressings over the years, until I finally went rogue and developed this one. First, a disclaimer: I know you can buy a bottled version at the store, but I’ve never tried it. I just don’t do commercial grocery store dressings. I have most of the ingredients in my cupboard, so it doesn’t make sense to me.
