Whole Wheat Buttermilk Pancakes

(please excuse the iphone photos for today’s post) Did you all have a nice weekend? We sure did because daddy came home after being gone for 3 weeks! 3 very long, summer weeks, but despite our rocky start (sick kids, ER visit for my youngest) the time apart did get a little easier this time…

Pesto Chicken Salad

May 14, 2013 by Melanie 18 Comments

Pesto Chicken Salad

Chicken salad is so personal- everyone makes their own favorite version. I have never loved a heavy-mayo based chicken salad until I had one at a wedding shower a long, long ago- it was made with fresh tarragon, celery and some other basic ingredients. Even though I have come around to mayo-based chicken salads (although…

Creamy Dill Cucumber Salad

Have I ever mentioned I am a magazine junkie? Well it’s true. Over the last couple years I was good and cut back to two cooking magazines. Then I don’t know what happened- actually I do. This crazy discount magazine site sent me emails about all the sales they were having I picked up a…

Peanut Butter Yogurt Dip

Peanut Butter Yogurt Dip

I had never been to a Pampered Chef party before living in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. I lived in the most awesome neighborhood and made several stay-at-home mom friends. To be quite honest, there wasn’t much to do there so we had all sorts of fun get togethers. I got introduced to Pampered Chef through…
