Blue Cheese Dressing

I’ve only ever made this to go with our hot wings, I’ve never tried it on salad, but considering how good it is on hot wings I can only imagine it would go well with other things also. Ingredients: 1/2 Cup plain yogurt or dairy sour cream1/4 Cup cottage cheese1/4...

Buffalo Chicken Strips

Boneless buffalo wings are one of my favorite foods- that’s saying a lot. We’ve been making boneless wings with our fryer for a couple of years now but 1) it’s so bad for you with all of that fried food and 2) the oil is oh so expensive. I came...

Pita bread

Spinach lasagna

I have to admit, I feel a touch silly for posting a lasagna recipe. I mean, it’s actually fairly simple, no-brainer recipe. But since Brian swears he doesn’t like lasagna, then inhaled the largest piece of lasagna I’ve ever seen, I figured aw, heck. I may as well.  I know...
