Apple coleslaw is crisp and crunchy with fresh apples, celery and cabbage and topped with a tangy homemade poppy seed dressing. I’m assuming that you’ve probably brushed off the barbecue grill and pulled it out of storage, because from the smells I’ve been smelling on my evening walks…all my neighbors have been grilling. We’ve been grilling too, which for me means it’s time to bust out my easy summer side dishes and salads. Today I have a really simple and…

Layered cornbread salad is so bright and colorful. Fresh veggies are layered high with cornbread, cheese and ranch dressing. It’s crunchy, creamy, savory, and with the cornbread, just a hint of sweet as well for a combination that can’t be beat. The first time I ever heard of cornbread salad I was pretty sure it was something that Missouri corn farming wives had made up just because they had an abundance of corn! This salad is a rural church dinner…
Crisp veggies, crunchy Fritos corn chips, cheddar cheese and a zippy creamy dressing. This Frito chili cheese corn salad couldn’t be easier, or more delicious! It feels good to be back into the swing of things and hopefully have a fairly normal week! Last week I put AHB on the shelf because there was just too much going on. Pet day, 1st grade musical, Middle School Band program, my birthday, a custom cupcake order, a school visit, my daughter’s birthday,…

I’d recently lost a part of my identity, after being a stay at home for 15 years my…

I don’t know about you, but I’ve seen so many Facebook posts, and blog posts that are all like, “we went on vacation to this beautiful lush, tropical locale and I drank all these fun fruity little cocktails with umbrellas’ and I liked them so much that when I came home I had to make my own version.” And then I’m over here like, uh I went to Wal-mart and bought raisin bran, and I was really good, I even…
As I said on AHB’s Facebook page, today I am sharing some lighter fare, Chicken Parmesan Salad. I have been a yo-yo this week. Up and then down, then back up again. You get the idea. I couldn’t do my post on Monday like I’d planned because my daughter’s eyeglasses broke last weekend and she’s blind without them. We spent most of Monday morning trying to get into the eye doctor and then a few hours there at the office…
