Crunchy Asian Chicken Salad

I had two different events last week that I had to take a salad too.  I had planned to do two different salads but after I made today’s recipe for the first event and enjoyed it so much I decided I needed to make it for the second event too.  It was just too yummy. [...]

Ginger Steak Salad

I made this recipe several months ago and we loved it. I’m not sure why it’s taken me so long to share it with you. I made this during my short lived low glycemic phase.  I have made lots of salads topped with chicken and even pork but I haven’t used red meat before but [...]

Roasted Corn Salad

I was a little hesitant to share another corn recipe with you after the Blueberry Corn Salad – No Comment Incident but I hope you trust me now and know that I wouldn’t steer you wrong!! We had another fun Potluck BBQ over Labor Day weekend.  As I’ve mentioned before, potlucks are one of my [...]

Grape Salad

When you have two different people, who don’t know each other, give you the same recipe, within a few days of each other, that is a pretty good indication that it’s going to be good. Jennie, one of my lovely blog readers emailed me with a recipe for Grape Salad.  Another friend told me about [...]

Corn and Blueberry Salad

We are having too much fun at our house this week.  Clark is home from his European Adventures. Logan is home for a visit before he starts his grown up, real job on Monday. Cali is packing up to head back to college and Tessa has her schedule and is ready to start her Junior [...]

Grilled Salad

I have cooked a lot of things on my grill.  Pizza, vegetables and last week we did grilled cheese sandwiches.  You can check out my Facebook page for pictures of the grilled cheese. If you aren’t a fan of Your Homebased Mom on Facebook – please become one! But I have never grilled a salad – until last [...]

Spinach Apple Salad

In honor St. Patrick’s Day I am sharing my second favorite green food.  If you missed my favorite green food click here. My second favorite green food is spinach.  As a child I never could have imagined saying that, let alone eating spinach.  I need to clarify though – I love raw spinach.  That cooked [...]

Barefoot Bloggers – Panzanella Salad

So this is my third Barefoot Blogger recipe.  I’m not setting any world records for cooking my way through Ina Garten’s cookbooks but I’m having fun.  So far, 2 of the 3 recipes we have made are ones I never probably would have made otherwise.  That is one of the reasons why I joined the [...]

Friday Favorite – Thai Noodle Salad

A few weeks ago I attended a woman’s event at church.  It was a potluck salad dinner.  I am always a bit leery of a potluck event – it can be a risky thing.  Being the “particular”, not “picky” eater that I am, I always make sure I take something I really like so that [...]

Friday Favorite – Pasta Chicken Salad with Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Spinach and Bacon

Last week I mentioned that on Sunday evenings I am posting the Wilkes Weekly Dinner Plan on my family blog.  I am doing this for purely selfish reasons – it helps me be more organized with my grocery shopping!  Instead of making daily trips to the store now I can go at least go every other day!   [...]
