There’s quite the story that goes with this Loaded Baked Potato Tots Recipe.
Last week I shared what would be the first recipe in a new series called College Cooking. My 21 year old bonus-son and his roommates requested some recipe inspiration.

Colorful Caribbean Coleslaw with Citrus Dressing is bursting with bright tropical flavors.
If you’re like me, you are hanging on to every bit of summer. I wanted to make a coleslaw recipe that sings of summer. Bright, cheerful, and refreshing.
I also wanted to make a Jerk Turkey Burger and knew this would pair perfectly.
It’s a Win-Win!

The ingredients in this Fig & Walnut Arugula Salad with Chickpeas & Gorgonzola play so nicely together.
Heaven on a plate!
While I haven’t always loved arugula, I’m a fan now! It’s quickly becoming my go-to green!
First off, it’s eats well. Do you know what I mean?
You can stick your fork into an arugula salad and more often than not, you’ll have yourself a pretty perfect bite! You can’t say that about every salad.

Crispy Parmesan Roasted Broccoli.
Move over cauliflower and Brussels sprouts, broccoli is making a comeback in this house!
Oven roasted, crispy-edged, parmesan-crusted, lemon-zested broccoli is THE best!!
You can serve it as an appetizer (hello…roasted Brussels sprouts are on nearly every appetizer menu).
You should definitely make it your go-to side dish. And Crispy Roasted Broccoli is more than happy stealing the show for any vegetarian meal!

I love this Mediterranean Chopped Salad because you can make a giant bowl and eat on it for days!
Or in our case you can make it two days in a row because it’s that good!!
We’re definitely on a salad kick right now and I’m loving it.
And my body is pretty stoked too!
