I am so so thrilled to share this recipe for Vietnamese Chicken Salad (Goi Ga Bap Cai) with you all! This salad is one of those staples at most Vietnamese restaurants, and is usually served as an appetizer, family style, but I’ve been known to order it for myself as…

Oh hello there Watermelon, Blueberry, and Feta Salad. Aren’t you so pretty and festive? You certainly make my socially distant Fourth of July plans appear less sad. Is anyone else planning a mini BBQ party for a guest list of significant other, one year old, and overweight cat? And planning…

Sadly this is not a pink-themed Hallmark Holiday recipe, but you might still enjoy this Brussels Sprouts and Navel Orange Salad recipe if you are planning on making dinner for your special someone this upcoming Valentine’s Day. As discussed before in this other brussels sprouts post, I have become quite…

Oh hey there.  Let’s talk salad.  Because it’s been a while.  (And, let’s be real, my waistline is still recovering after those Mudslide Brownie Bites….) This Burmese Tea Leaf Salad might need to be your next exotic culinary adventure.  And believe you me, it is very much worth it. For…

Let’s have a slightly more introspective than average Monday post, shall we?  (And if you’re not feeling particularly introspective, look at all the pretty pictures of Vietnamese Chicken Vermicelli Salad!  Yay!  You also might want to skip to the end where the recipe lives ↓) So for some of you that have…

I fell in love with homemade buttermilk ranch when I was a kid growing up in Portage, Michigan.  We had this little restaurant we would go to regularly called Murch’s, which sadly went out of business and is now the storefront for a Hallmark store.  But back in better days…
