Hubby want to eat more salads this summer (yay!) so I'll be fixing this one. Interesting to use BBQ sauce in the dressing.

I have a table out there and I keep a big roaster out there... one of those portable ones, and I do my frying in the garage and the grill has three burners/ wait, four, and a side burner for cooking.<br /><br />We don't have air except window units in a couple of rooms, and if we heat up the house with cooking, the little ones suffer. So not much baking in the summer.<br /><br />But then I get stupid and make up for it in the winter by EATING....<br /><br />But there's something magical (and habitual) about eating comfort food when it's cold out.Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-55347563174269349252013-07-19T14:38:17.706-04:002013-07-19T14:38:17.706-04:00Exactly.

I need to get more adventurous with my salad making.<br /><br />And Tina, I can't count how many times I've made your oatmeal cookie recipe! Everyone LOVES it and I've handed it out to tons of people. I've become the cookie goddess of the block. :-)Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-15492921836546165582013-07-19T10:39:10.437-04:002013-07-19T10:39:10.437-04:00Pepper Jack is bite enough for me.

I love making this, my family loves it, they die for the "chips" mixed or on top, and I just leave those off mine to keep the carb count in line.<br /><br />Like Tina, I like the extra dressing. And I like to use Cabot's Seriously Sharp or Vintage Cheddar cheese because we like a cheese with serious bite, but when I don't have that I use the 4-cheese Mexican blend pre-shredded in bags. And it's awesome!<br /><br />And I totally over-the-top loved "Mending the Doctor's Heart"... What a delightful story, Tina! Still smiling whenever I think about it!<br /><br /><br /><br />Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.com
