  Y’all already know my sister is an amazing photographer and cook.  So amazing, in fact, that one of HER recipes, is the all time most popular recipe on my blog!  Well, she may have come up with one even better than that! This ‘Bubble Up’ Chicken Fajita Casserole is a winner!   It uses […]

We were SO happy to usher in SPRING LIKE weather this weekend!  We had our very first picnic of the season.  This Cherry-Pecan Chicken Salad hit the spot!  It is addictive!  I love that it only has 5 ingredients and takes less than 5 minutes to throw together.   I made it the night before […]
