Life In Pleasantville

Spring is here and it’s salad time. Time for Dill Potato Salad, Green Goddess Dressing, Macaroni Salad, Chicken Salad, and this Classic Broccoli Salad which will knock your socks off. Even those with severe vegetable phobias have been known to squeal with delight at the sight of this broccoli salad. Dibs for seconds happen before …
I can safely say that rarely a day goes by without a tomato crossing my lips. I love them. That’s why this Cherry Tomato Bake is a household favourite. It takes very little time to throw together and it’s a terrific side dish with meat or fish. It also brings through that roasted flavour I …

What I’m trying to tell you is that these muffins are calling your name. Don’t ignore them. These are perfect for school lunches. Wrap and …
