It’s my mission in life to get everybody to like sweet potatoes in applications other than candied. Well, one of my missions anyway, and I’m sure I’ve mentioned it before. I’m confident this delicious Roasted Sweet Potato Salad will win converts. While...
This is the very best easy coleslaw recipe I know. I’ve had it for a number of years, and I’ve made it countless times. The person who gave it to me made me promise not to tell anyone where I got it, so I won’t. So what’s good about it? It’s delicious. You...
Peaches and blueberries are a match made in heaven. One of my very favorite quick summertime desserts is super simple. It’s nothing more than a sliced ripe peach, a handful of fresh blueberries, a tiny sprinkle of brown sugar, and a splash of ice cold heavy cream. ...
Antipasto. The literal translation from Italian is “before the meal.” In Italy antipasto can be any number of things served at the table before the main dishes: cheeses, meats, olives, artichokes, marinated vegetables, fried or grilled vegetables, bruschetta,...
We've loved Ramen Noodle Salads here at Casa LCK for ages. If you’ve been to a barbecue/potluck/dinner-on-the-grounds affair in the last 25 years, chances are pretty good that you’ve had--or at least seen--ramen noodle salad before. If not, the very idea may be,...
Yesterday I did a small water bath canning class at my house. We had a good time and everyone went home with a jar of strawberry preserves. Of course I’d bought more fruit than I needed because just in case and you never know. (Old catering habits die hard.) So...

I love a good meal salad. And I love TexMex food. This salad brings both. Large enough for two, my Loaded TexMex Salad is a bodacious combo of crisp lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, corn, black beans, avocado, cheese, and a flavorful protein. I like it...
Cucumber and Carrot Salad with Ginger Dressing is a staple in our house. It’s one of our go-to salads year-round, and we’re especially fond of having it with all sorts of Asian-American dishes. Princess Persnickety is a sushi fan, and Cucumber and Carrot Salad with...
We’ve talked before about how seasonally-dependent we all are on fresh-picked, local, Silver Queen corn. Well, last week my favorite fresh corn dealer let it be known that she’d be back in business on Friday at her usual spot--the side road next to the liquor store. ...
We had egg salad sandwiches frequently when I was growing up. We also had tuna salad and chicken salad. I liked them all. It wasn’t until I was a teenager that I realized you couldn’t eat egg, tuna, or chicken salad from just anyplace. In fact, all of them were...
This is the second installment of our “What the Heck am I Supposed to Do with All This Leftover Ham?” series. Off the top of my head, I can’t think of anybody who doesn’t like some form of potato salad. My Nana made the best potato salad ever. I won’t divulge her...
