Cucumber Salad with Sour Cream and Dill

Hi everybody! Did you miss me? Well, in case you didn’t realize I was gone, BeeBop and I spent last week at Panama City Beach, Florida, with our two grandbabieskids. Gosh…I really can’t call them babies any more. The oldest is almost 13 and youngest almost 7! It was a week full of fun but we also made time to slow down and really relax a bit. It had been a long time since we’d last taken a real vacation and we were way overdue for some downtime. I even took a whole week off from the blog! I don’t think I’ve ever done that in the four-plus years I’ve been posting.

Of course, I couldn’t stop taking photos while were gone and I’m sharing some with you in a slideshow after the jump. Enjoy!

This is the first real vacation we’ve taken in several years and we’re really trying to unwind and relax [...]

Most people think of potato salad as a summertime dish, but it’s year-round at our house. My traditional potato salad with mayonnaise is one of BeeBop’s favorite recipes and I particularly enjoy it with anything barbecued. But every once in a while, I like a little change. Plus if you’re taking your potato salad on [...]

Sometimes the best recipes aren’t complicated at all. Sometimes it’s just about what’s fresh and perfectly ripe. Now, I know that raspberries don’t really come into season until about mid-summer but our local Publix store has had some of the best ones lately! I don’t know where they’re coming from. I just hope they keep [...]

We all need quick and easy recipes for week nights, don’t we? Even if you don’t work an 8 to 5 office type job, you’re still probably busy every day right up until dinner time. And even though I love to cook, there are days when I just don’t want to have to think very [...]

I’ve really been on a strawberry binge lately. I made an old-fashioned jello mold and a strawberry cobbler. I put some in the freezer for later, most likely for strawberry jam. And I’ve also made muffins! These delicious strawberry-lemon muffins to be exact. I really enjoy making muffins. They’re much easier than loaves and you [...]

Do you have “Italian night” at your house? We do. Every Thursday. Most of the time it’s pizza, but other times it’s pasta of some kind. Mostly spaghetti with tomato sauce. The usual sides for our Italian night are a simple tossed green salad and garlic bread. I mean, really, who doesn’t like buttery, yummy [...]

To me, there’s nothing better for supper than a one-dish meal. Protein, veggies, and sometimes starch all in one pot. No muss, no fuss, not much cleaning up. Add a salad and some bread and you’re good to go. Right? Some of the best one-dish meals are, of course, casseroles. I’ll bet you have dozens [...]

Congealed salad. Jello salad? What do you call it? In the southern states, we mostly go with congealed, but you may know it by other names. Gelatin salad. Jelly salad. Whatever you call it, here’s a fabulous recipe for it. No Sunday dinner, family reunion, or gathering of friends in the South would be complete [...]

I always know that it’s really, truly Spring when I start seeing road-side signs for U-Pick strawberry patches. It just makes my day to see those little signs because, first, they usually mean cold weather is gone for a while and, second, all that wonderful spring and summer produce is about to start flooding the [...]
