Egg Salad (no mayo)

In our house we love hard-boiled eggs, but Jeremy despises mayonnaise or any substitute for it and it doesn’t rank very high on my list either.  So egg salad is not something we ever make.  But just a week ago we were preparing to go on a weekend trip.  We usually try to pack all [...]

Spinach and Turkey Salad w/ Gala Apples, Swiss Cheese and Cashews

This salad is too big for a name because there are so many good ingredients. This was something we first had when our daughter Cora was born almost two years ago. A friend made it for us and we have made it many times since then. It is a great light lunch salad that still [...]

This dip is always very popular [...]
