Gruyere Cabbage {with Bacon}
We bought a 5 pound cabbage for 88 cents. Not sure why I chose that as the intro line to this recipe, but dang cabbage is cheap. Which makes really good cabbage recipes all the more appealing. We like many, had Corned Beef & Cabbage for St. Patrick’s Day. We like many, have leftovers to repurpose. Gruyere Cabbage was a dish my mom made often. Today, I dug out the 30-year old hand written recipe card, made sense of the measurements, and added bacon. Oh my! I think Mom would be proud.

Chicken Kiev {with Fresh Herbs & Garlic}
I looked out the back door at my fresh herb porch pots, expecting to see various shades of brown with brittle textures. Yet instead I saw a burst of spring-thyme green. Chives. How on earth did this soft herb survive the unseasonably icy and cold winter? It’s a mystery. And a sign. Make Chicken Kiev.

Spicy Shrimp Thai Buddha Bowl
I don’t think I’ve told you about my 2015 Challenge. My Healthy Choices walking buddy Bethany and I signed up to walk a combined two thousand fifteen miles in 2015. That’s five point five miles per day together or two point seven five miles each. every day. for 365 days. All that walking during our lunch hour, makes these girls hungry. I’m proposing Spicy Shrimp Thai Buddha Bowls all around.

Nuts & Berries Martini
Martini Mondays. I like the way that sounds. Especially when I’m enjoying a mini staycation. I’ve been wanting to make this Nuts & Berries Martini since Christmastime when Santa first told me about it.

We brought 7-Layer Hot Italian Dip along with a bottle of red and white Italian wines to a happy-hour party recently. We stepped outside the comfort zone on the wines, perhaps this is a chance to discover a new favorite.

Seven Layer Magic Bars
I struggled with what to call these heavenly bars. I kicked around a few ideas. Pretzel Toffee Bars. Chocolate Coconut Layered Love Bars. Magic Bars. Seven Layer Bars. Toothachers Met Their Match Bars. Truth be told…they are a casserole with a little bit of this and a little bit of that. A dessert casserole. I’m not sure anyone would click on a recipe called dessert casserole.

Baked Mozzarella Cheese Sticks
I had this vision of presenting a big bowl of Cream of Tomato Soup with Basil Pesto & a side of Mozzarella Dunkers aka Baked Mozzarella Cheese Sticks. You know the scene, a gorgeous bowl of tomato soup with a side grilled cheese sandwich. One glimpse and you’re committed. The epitomy of comfort.
