Christmas Break Salad

 

I got a mandoline for Christmas this year (so excited!) and yes, I cut myself the very first time I used it but that isn't going to stop me.  Today for lunch I was feeling the particular need to break away from all of the rich foods we have been gorging ourselves on over the holiday - cheeseball, chorizo stuffed peppers, creamed eggs (another blog post for another day), homemade fudge, etc...  I was determined to make a salad.  Unfortunately, all of the salad greens that are the normal stock in our fridge had gone bad during our healthy balanced diet hiatus. Cue: mandoline.

Perfect Pie Crust

This is the 'perfect' pie crust recipe that we grew up using. It is versatile so you can make it thin or thicker and it's not too flaky. It makes enough for 4+ pies and freezes well as a dough ball or in the shape of your pie tin. MMmmmm enjoy!

Mama's Brownies

I don't have a pic, but these are embedded in my brain, taste buds, tummy (unfortunately for that one) and heart. Just to say they are soooo good is an understatement. Mama used to make these for all the occasions where something special, yet simple was needed.
