One of my favorite things to do is to make a big salad and eat it during the week for lunch and send some with Mister Tipsy for his lunches at work. Mister Tipsy’s Dad also enjoys having a salad on hand therefore I experiment with making different kinds of salad dressings and trying different combinations of vegetables. I started making this Broccoli Cheddar Salad a few years ago and it is always a fan favorite. This particular variation of Broccoli Cheddar Salad has toasted pumpkin seeds and a mustard based dressing but you can add any kind of crunch…

Since I have made these on my Instagram stories I have gotten so many questions about how I make these cheater Fried Chicken Sliders.

Unfortunately for a lot of people the holiday weekend also means they have to work and they don’t get to enjoy the weekend the way others do. It has been my family’s Memorial Day tradition to head up to our lake house in Michigan for the holiday but Mr. Tipsy is one…

Continue ReadingI am a collector of vintage cookbooks and recipe binders. Some of my favorites are the church cookbooks that are a collection of old recipes collected from the members and printed and sold as a fundraiser.

Continue ReadingA few months back I formed a virtual women’s group on Instagram with fellow recipe creating food bloggers. I sought out women from different states so that we created a well-rounded group with various culinary backgrounds and tastes. This group has been one of the most supportive group of women I have ever professionally worked with. As I was creating my content calendar for January, recipes with a healthier twist, I had this great idea to bring a cooking challenge to my ladies group. The challenge was that you were to create a recipe using three components: beans, greens and…
