Hi, guys! It's been about a year since I posted a recipe; It's been a tough time but we're seeing it through. It's spring-like here (some days, at least) and that always gets me thinking about picnics, days at the beach, and road trips. 

It has been in the 90's all week here and I don't know about you but I'll do anything I can not to heat up the kitchen any more than I have to and this Tuna Salad is the perfect way to have quick, cold sandwiches for lunch or dinner. Also, they're perfect for picnics!

I worked on this recipe for years and finally found the perfect mix of tart and sweet, creamy and crunchy that my family absolutely loves. This tuna salad is made with hard-boiled eggs, diced sweet pickles (trust me), mayo, and lots of lemon juice, but there's one secret ingredient that takes it from bland to flavorful in a snap.

Hey, guys! With Easter closing in, I thought I would share an alternative to serving a ham or turkey. Some of you may already do a brisket for Easter. Even if you have your own tried and true recipe, you may want to try this one! It slow-cooks in your oven all night for a fall-apart brisket the next day. Minimal effort, big payoff. Tender, juicy beef on crusty rolls with mayo and horseradish? Heaven!

With holiday entertaining still in full swing, I've got a delicious, crowd-pleasing recipe for you. Everyone loves sliders, but these have a twist. They're modeled on the Po' Boy sandwich using delicious Alaska Cod breaded in a Creole-spiced batter, served on a crusty, rustic slider bun, and piled on a platter with all of the fixins so your guests can dress them how they like. I've also included the recipe for a homemade Remoulade sauce for that authentic Po' Boy flavor.

I don't know if Pimiento cheese spread is a Southern thing, but I do know that I grew up with this stuff. It was a favorite of my mom and oldest brother, but it took me a while to like the taste. Once I did, though, I loved it!

It's made from shredded cheddar cheese mixed with diced, sweet Pimiento peppers and a few other things, and it makes a beautiful, creamy spread for sandwiches and crackers. If you've never had it, it's worth trying, and homemade is so much better than the store-bought versions.

Are your kids stuck on PB&J? Tired of throwing the same old sides in? Sometimes we just need a little switcheroo (or even a marker) to make our kids' school lunches exciting again. I've got some ideas and tips to bring a smile to their faces at lunchtime, and saving some dough will bring a smile to yours too.

I'm a sucker for a quick meal, but that doesn't mean I want to sacrifice taste. This Sweet & Savory Roasted Chicken Salad is made from a deli roasted chicken, so if you're short on time, you can still whip up a delicious meal without waiting hours or heating up your kitchen!

Perfect for a quick dinner, to take along to a picnic, or serve at a cookout, this chicken salad has a sweet, nutty taste that everyone will love. Serve over a salad, in sandwiches, or on the side, and see why this will always be my go-to chicken salad recipe!

Note: If you've never handled a whole chicken, I'll walk you through taking it apart. Also, this recipe can easily be doubled.
