Stacked Cobb Salad

Leslie J Watkins — Tue, 08 Sep 2026 15:58:33 +0000

With unbearable hot temperatures still lingering here, I can’t help but share a new salad that is a favorite. I’m always a fan of a Cobb salad…but, this cutie, “Stacked Cobb Salad”, was so much fun that I may have squealed when I made it the first time. Have you ever made a stacked Cobb salad? Perhaps you have seen them on Pinterest or on a reel somewhere…but, these are so fun and provide the perfect way to have the perfect serving sizes ready to go. Honestly, the most time consuming part is just prepping all the ingredients you want to add and have them ready for the stacking. Cooking and crumbling the bacon (or use bacon bits), boiling and dicing the eggs, cutting rotisserie chicken in bitesized pieces, dicing the green onion, tomatoes, avocado, and measuring all the ingredients, and making the dressing is all the prep work needed. For extra flavor, I toasted the slivered almonds and made the Green Goddess dressing to mix in with the romaine lettuce before you layer. You could buy your favorite Green Goddess or Ranch dressing and skip the toasting of almonds if you are in a hurry. All you need is a clear solo cup, with the bottom cut off leaving about 4″ from the top to use to layer your salad…and your favorite Cobb salad ingredients. In a quick minute, you’ll have the cutest salad to add to luncheons, game nights, book club meetings, and just when you want to have a great stacked salad. I used these great melamine salad plates from Home Goods that were perfect for this recipe. I had to go back and get the dinner plates to match…just couldn’t resist. Aren’t these the cutest plates? Just have your salad plate ready, cut solo cup placed in the center, and layers of ingredients til filled to the top. Consider colors, textures and flavors when layering. Just push each layer in so that they compact together. Make an hour or so ahead, setting them on their serving salad plates…cover the top with a bit of plastic wrap and refrigerate until guests arrive. At serving time, remove the plastic cup and you will have the CUTEST stacked Cobb salad ever. Are you squealing yet? If not, you may when you make these. It was the easiest and most fun way to create a salad EVER! You know, if you have guests who are into helping create their own and selecting their own contents, you might let them! Such a fun thing to do as a group! Then everyone will be squealing…not just you! When time to eat, it just seems to fall in layers giving you all the flavors of ingredients in each bite. Couldn’t have guessed that would have been another benefit to the stacked Cobb salad…right? Here’s the recipe: Note: I have given ingredients amount for ONE salad…so, duplicate for the number of guests you are serving. Hope you love this recipe as much as I do! And I loved these Home Goods salad plates so much, I went back and bought the matching dinner plates. Such a great time to get these as summer clearance is in full swing wherever you purchase them! Hopefully all of the salad safety issues are passed and you are back to eating salads again. If you need more great salad recipes, here you go: May you enjoy a great salad soon! And I’d love for you to let me know in the comments if you have tried this Stacked Cobb Salad, won’t you?

2026 St. Jude Dream Home

Leslie J Watkins — Tue, 01 Sep 2026 16:20:50 +0000

I’m not sure if your area hosts the building and giveaway of a St. Jude Dream Home, but it’s a beautiful fundraiser that raises money for St. Jude and I’m all in for that. Do you have a local St. Jude’s Dream Home Giveaway? Last year was the first I had missed touring in many years. A new hip made navigating the entry and staircases a bit daunting. The 2026 St. Jude Dream Home this year is located in Eagle Landing, 719 Eagle Rest Drive, Grand Rivers, KY 42045. It’s very close to Kentucky Lake and Patti’s 1800’s Restaurant which is a huge draw for visitors. It makes it sweeter that for the past eight years one of my former student’s construction company has been the builder. He knocks it out of the park…each and every year. Here are a couple of the past homes for you to view. The first is one that’s next door to this year’s St. Jude’s Dream Home. And here’s another that was beautiful. This year’s Dream Home has a beautiful stone and wood exterior that fits the lakeside area where it’s located. As you enter, the interior seems to draw you in to the outdoor colors and theme seamlessly. The foyer enters into a large great room with a fireplace flanked with bookcases. Two things caught my eye–the clock above the fireplace and the lights above the bookcases. The neutral color scheme didn’t fight with the beautiful outdoor views either. Plenty of seating with an open view of the kitchen. Beautiful accessories in the living area just complimented the room with a nod to the lakeside area. And here’s the kitchen…you know one of my favorite rooms, right? Isn’t it lovely? With seating at the island for conversations while prepping for meals or entertaining… Loving the stove with the pot filler and that stone hood above…oh, my! The windows on each side of the stove gives a European feel and positions great lighting for using those countertops to prepare meals. I’m in love with the microwave drawer that is right below that counter. Simply a drawer that opens and closes with a drop down control center that doesn’t scream it’s a microwave. Yes, please. It was interesting that this kitchen had white cabinets around the stove area and the side wall– and the island had a beautiful white large sink set into beautiful wooden cabinetry. The hardware tied them all together. From the Kitchen, a hallway leads to other features. First, a hallway with a half bath…dark colors seem to just tuck it away to feel more private. The Primary Suite Again, the neutral colors seemed to give the primary suite a soothing and restful feel. Even the positioning of a small sofa along the wall invited you to sit there. The slight shade difference in the molding added to the soothing feeling. The soft hardwoods continued through this room with a neutral rug to ground that inviting bed flanked by side tables. This home gives the feel of a vacation home, so the walk in closets were large but not overly expansive. Then there was the primary bath. Luxurious. A huge walk in shower held two separate shower systems. The bottom of the glass shower walls added privacy with tiled walls below the glass that let light in. Seating is also a bonus in that walk in shower. Even still, a beautiful tub for bathing and double vanity provide an open feel that does not make it feel overly crowded. The separate room for the commode was a great choice. The pocket door was perfect to prevent a door swing in or out. The kitchen led to two additional areas… First, a great pantry that offered both drawers and shelves. Great for storage with a pocket door to add privacy when desired. The next doorway led to the laundry room that opens to the garage. Large, expansive and beautiful. Complete with a sink and lots of storage cabinets, yet beautifully painted and appointed. The last doorway from the kitchen led to the dining room. Beautiful. More nods to the lakeside location. The hardwood floors topped with the rug anchoring the table was perfect. The ceiling and lighting just gave a quiet nod to elegance. Even the beautiful table setting invited you to be seated for dinner in yet a bit of casual elegance. The large expanse of windows from the dining room drew you out onto a large deck that was the full width of the home. A comfortable gathering area on one end with a dining area on the other takes your entertaining outdoors when weather allows. Now, there was so much conversation about this rug that I had to share what a great buy some at Walmart are for you. I may need one for my deck, too. Both the ceiling and composite decking left you with an extra special touch than most decks offer. This year’s St. Jude’s Dream Home has a new feature. Can you guess what it is? A walk out basement. Complete with an outdoor covered patio. The same beautiful doors that lead out to another full width concrete patio under the upstairs deck. Stunning. As you walk down the stairs, you are greeted with the same beautiful wood flooring and a round game table. Perfect for family or entertaining guests. The rolling, swivel chairs add a bit of fun and whimsey to the seating. In the open expanse of the basement is a large sectional couch and more chairs to host an abundance of family or guests. All furniture is grounded with a beautiful neutral rug and round wooden side and coffee tables. Elegance with a comfortable and casual feel. The wall of windows gives light and open feel to the room so that you forget it’s a basement area. Additional can lights and lamps provide more lighting during evenings. One wall has pictures rather than a television letting you not forget to interact and play games…even if it’s on that coffee table. Did you wonder where the other bedrooms were? In the basement, of course. Down a hallway from the entertaining room in the basement, you’ll find two bedrooms and a full bathroom. Beautiful walk in closets give more storage area. Since these bedrooms are on ground level…they have windows that once again make you forget you are in a basement area. One room gives a feminine feel with pinks and bows… The second bedroom has the lake life and more masculine nod. Again, light and airy with lots of storage space. Again the downstairs rooms have a darker shade of trim to cornice and door and window frames. Beautiful. My only change would be to continue that beautiful hardwood flooring into these bedrooms with great area rugs to soften the rooms and ground the beds. Do you feel that way, too? The downstairs full bath in the hall between both bedrooms is a great match for the downstairs. What great tile choices for the floors and tub areas. A nod to Midtown modern cabinetry in the bathroom and game room seem to keep the feel timeless. So, how can you be a part of this St. Jude’s Dream Home Giveaway?

Loaded Smashed Potato Salad

Leslie J Watkins — Tue, 25 Aug 2026 14:57:31 +0000

If you have tried smashed potatoes…then you might know where this recipe is coming from. Perusing through social media, someone came up with the idea of taking smashed potatoes to create a loaded smashed potato salad. Have you made a loaded smashed potato salad? There are several recipes out there…so I decided to try to create one with favorite flavors. The basis of this smashed potato salad recipe begins with those loaded smashed potatoes I make all the time. They are so loved that they even made it to my mystery birthday party menu. That version of smashed potatoes is topped with sour cream and bacon and are sooooo good. Smaller portions and great flavor. So, that’s where I began in the creation process. Boiling Yukon gold potatoes in salt water until tender. Drain and add them to a parchment paper baking sheet. Then use the bottom of a glass to smash the cooked potatoes on the baking sheet…and drizzle them with melted butter, salt, pepper, and garlic salt or powder and bake until crispy. That’s the beginning of the full flavor that creates the BEST potato salad. The next thing is to create the flavors of a great potato salad dressing. Add sour cream, mayonnaise, dijon mustard and lemon juice for the dressing. Since most potato salads that we enjoy have onions, swap out the chopped onion for green onions or chives. Since flavors of a loaded smashed potato include bacon, bacon had to be included in the salad. Cook bacon until crispy and chop to add to the potato salad ingredients…and topping when serving. I love using kitchen shears for this. Since potatoes are salted in the water when cooking and then when roasting, you may need to taste the flavor for the right amount of seasoning after mixing. All the flavors of a great loaded potato…sour cream, bacon, and crispy potatoes. Right? Great replacement for other hashbrown casserole or other sides… This is a quicker and easier way to create a new favorite. Hope you give this one a try. Here are a few items that help you see what I use for this recipe…no extra cost for you. This recipe is so indulgent and such a surprising side. I love that you can have all the flavors of a great loaded potato in a way that offers right portions and perfect flavor in each bite. Enjoy, friends!

Glazed Lemon Zucchini Cake

Leslie J Watkins — Wed, 12 Aug 2026 21:38:54 +0000

This time of year, zucchini is abundant. If you are growing it in your garden, you understand. Garden stands and farmers’ markets are overflowing with zucchini. With a couple of zucchini needed to make a new creation, I ran across a favorite recipe for lemon zucchini cake with a delicious glaze. Yes, please! Now with gluten free folks having their feet under my table, I simply switched out the flour to a gluten free one (with an overflowing cup -1/4 C more- of that flour) and those needing that change were ecstatic. I’m not sure about your family, but ours love the freshness of lemon recipes and this one did NOT disappoint. So many baby showers, gender reveals, and summer gatherings, and even after school snacks now needed, this treat may make those who enjoy it your new best friend. Right? A perfect dessert or with afternoon tea, it just adds a bit of sunshine to the menu. Have you made glazed lemon zucchini cake? If the recipe sounds divine to you, please pin it, won’t you? If you have a varied version that you love, I’d LOVE to know any version you may have in your recipe file. Some suggestions I have are adding chocolate chips or shredded carrots. Those versions may have to be tried here. Here’s the recipe: I realize summer months are often filled with more ice cream and cold desserts…but this lemon zucchini cake ticks all the boxes. Helps with making wise use of the availability of zucchini harvest, and gives a bright option for dessert. I even love that it only makes 9 servings…so there’s not lots of left overs that may wreck your calorie intake! Plus less baking time to heat up the kitchen during the summer months. I’ll take that! You can leave the cake at room temperature in an airtight container, but refrigerating it will help keep it longer. Just warm a few seconds in the microwave, if you prefer warm. Otherwise? On really warm days, you may like the coolness of servings from the fridge. Just a note: if you want to freeze this recipe, I would suggest icing after removing the cake from the freezer to serve. If you need another way to help with the zucchini overflow, this double chocolate chip zucchini bread recipe is my husband’s absolute favorite. I make this recipe gluten free in mini loaf pans and add them tightly sealed in food saver bags. He simply slices and warms a slice for a few seconds when he wants a serving. The zucchini just makes them moist and delicious. Let’s see if this lemon cake tops those.. Hope you love this one, friends! Thanks for joining me at the table to day,

An Easy Rotini Lasagna

Leslie J Watkins — Tue, 04 Aug 2026 14:38:00 +0000

Are you a lasagna lover? We are here. But, this rotini lasagna version took me by surprise. My sister in law mentioned it in a conversation and with no lasagna pasta in the house, I thought I’d give it a try. The results of that “unstructured form” of rotinia lasagna recipe? It’s now replaced traditional lasagna. Now, I realize lasagna gets it’s name from the type of pasta used…but when the other ingredients for lasagna are used with rotini? It just has to be called rotini lasagna. Why rotini lasagna? Let me count the ways. I don’t know about you, but those long lasagna noodles make it appear to be a more difficult recipe. It really isn’t, but I loved that the rotini held all of the other ingredients in its nooks and crannies and still held enough shape to serve and eat in an easier fashion. To make it quick and easy, use your favorite jar of spaghetti sauce. For me? I used a jar of marinara from my pantry and it was delicious. Simple ingredients. Add a salad and perhaps a great garlic bread and it will be perfect. This version of lasagna will change your thoughts on that Italian favorite…now I know you don’t use lasagna noodles. But with just a change in the pasta to a rotini and making it simpler with just one layer of each? It makes for an incredible improvement. If you add basil salt to the water to cook the rotini? And then, sprinkle it across the cooked pasta in the casserole dish? So good. Layering flavor always helps, right? A huge bonus? Using gluten free rotini makes it perfect for all those gluten sensitive guests with feet under my table. Switch out a rice gluten free pasta if that suits your need. The rice version held up beautifully. You know what we noticed as we enjoyed it? It was just simpler to eat. No “cutting through layers”. Just full flavor with each bite. Probably a great help with the kids in your life…but, just saying…the big kids appreciated the ease, too. Feel free to make your own sauce…make a ricotta and egg mixture instead of cottage cheese. But, can I tell you? The ease of a favorite jar of spaghetti sauce and cottage cheese works. Add a salad and garlic bread and you have perfected the meal. These bread sticks will elevate the meal and make this easy version feel fancy for a guest meal. The change from a classic lasagna to the rotinia lasagna was wonderful. Hope you love this version as much as we do. Won’t you let me know in the comments if you make it? Enjoy,

Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream

Leslie J Watkins — Tue, 28 Jul 2026 16:45:00 +0000

I don’t know about you, but with the heat of summer, ice cream is a welcome treat. But, what if I told you that you could make this chocolate peanut butter ice cream without an ice cream maker…no salt…no churning…yep! And with a chocolate peanut butter flavor? Yes, please! A friend of mine shared this basic concept of a “no churn” ice cream. And seriously? You can simply switch out ingredients to make the BEST ice cream ever. With heavy whipping cream and a can of sweetened condensed milk, you have your basic ice cream. Feel free to switch out the “flavor” by adding other cookies, candy, or fruit to make it suit your own taste. Doesn’t get any better than that. Truly. All you need is a mixer with a whisk attachment, a loaf pan, some parchment paper and your ingredients. See what I mean? So, let’s get started. First, prepare your “flavor ingredients”. For this chocolate peanut butter ice cream, chop 6 Reese’s peanut butter cups and 1 C chopped Oreo cookies and set aside. Prepare your loaf pan with parchment paper long enough to fold back over the top of the ice cream after adding. Then, set aside. Next, add your whipping cream to your mixing bowl and with the whisk attachment, whip the cream until soft peaks appear. Then, add in your sifted cocoa powder and whip until incorporated…and slowly add the condensed milk and whip until fluffy and thick. At this point without the candy and cookies, you could have a simply a delicious chocolate ice cream. And if you stop BEFORE the cocoa and add in 1 t of vanilla? You have the perfect base of a vanilla. But…when you can add peanut butter cups and oreos? Let’s do that. And perhaps? Only one scoop will fix the sugar craving, right? Here’s the recipe, friends. Isn’t that the easiest? I love that I don’t have to pull out a homemade ice cream freezer with salt outdoors…or an electric maker indoors. With a quick mix with a stand mixer, this is made up in a short few minutes. If you prefer to add these to plastic containers to the freezer instead of the lined loaf pan, feel free to skip that step. I love the ability to lift out the parchment paper and slice the ice cream to add to bowls if you don’t want to scoop. Transferring the ice cream to an airtight container does help keep longer. If you need more great summer dessert ideas, here you go: I think I’m off to making some peach ice cream by adding cut up peaches to the whipping cream/sweetened condensed milk whipped mixture. OR maybe bananas with vanilla wafers? Which to try first? Wish me luck! What would be your favorite flavor to try? I’d love to know in the comments, friends. Here’s the equipment I used: Enjoy!

Caprese Pasta Salad

Leslie J Watkins — Tue, 21 Jul 2026 18:58:27 +0000

Welcome to summer! The season where the basil is full and needs deadheading to prevent bolting. Then there are tomatoes, glorious tomatoes. I don’t know about you but a caprese salad is always on my menu during the summer months. And then a recipe to inspire me with pasta found it’s way into my kitchen. Caprese pasta salad was tweaked, changed, made and remade…delivered to friends…and shared with neighbors. What could be better, right? This recipe is one that I shared in this month’s VUE magazine…but, many who don’t live here may have missed grabbing a copy or reading online. What I love about this salad is that I can change it to add seasonal vegetables or meats each and every time. I have added fresh yellow or orange bell peppers; switched out the meats from salami to ham; and switched the types of olives. Can I tell you that I have LOVED each and every addition to this salad? Caprese Pasta Salad is a new summer favorite. It feeds a crowd that gathers, perfect for potlucks, or deliveries to friends who have had illness or surgery, moved or just need a bit of care. I do hope you’ll try it. To be a true caprese salad, you need to have fresh mozzarella, basil and tomatoes with a bit of balsamic vinegar or glaze added to the mixture. But feel free to add in your own flavors of veggies and meats to make it your own. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed! Here you go! This caprese salad is a continual favorite lunch this summer. Feel free to make it your own by different meats and veggies added. There’s nothing like something cold to have for lunch or summer picnics to beat the summer heat. And who doesn’t love a great serving bowl? Here are some of my favorites: I’d love to know your version in the comments, friends. There’s nothing I love better than to share and hear your response. Need more summer salad ideas? Here you go! Thanks so much for joining me here,

Compound Herb Butters

Leslie J Watkins — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 18:44:15 +0000

Tis the season for herbs…and hence, compound herb butters. I don’t know about you, but as soon as I can after potential frosts, I plant herbs. Lots of them. Basil, thyme, oregano, rosemary and sage are always added to the perennial herbs that come back each year–chives, lemon balm, mint and chocolate mint. All of those herbs are near and dear to my heart. Are you like that? Recently, I shared about the amazing little pots of basil to create basil salt. You know I love to make roasted tomato sauce with the fresh herbs from my garden. Now…if you DON”T have an herb garden? Use your local grocery version herbs…those packages of fresh herbs will work perfectly. No gardening needed. But, there’s something I haven’t shared her before. Only a peek on page 35 in this issue of the Vue magazine recipes. Compound herb butters… Sounds complicated…but, it’s so simple. Created with your favorite herbs and seasonings whipped into salted butter. Heavenly. If you aren’t familiar with compound herb butters, let me make a few suggestions on why you need to create them this summer: See what I mean? Who knew we all needed different versions of them? The beauty is that you make the butter with combinations to suit your dish, such as, Here’s a basic recipe with combinations for you to use as a guide: See what I mean? So much flavor to elevate your dishes. Add your compound herb butter to a decorative plate for guests to add to rolls, pasta, steak, fish or baked potatoes. An easy surprise that takes little time and preparation but wows…every…single…time. What dish needs compound butter? And remember…although summer aids ease to having herbs readily available from my garden, your local grocer will carry them all year long for you to enjoy a bit of brightness during the winter months. I bet your creativity will surprise even you. Just don’t forget to write down what and how much you put into the butter to make it the best. Hope you give this a try…and then won’t you let me know in the comments what combination compound herb butter you used and how? I can’t wait to hear from you. Thanks for joining me, friends. You are simply the best,

Canning Chili Beans

Leslie J Watkins — Tue, 07 Jul 2026 14:57:14 +0000

If you have been here long, you know how dearly I LOVE to can. When a friend mentioned canning chili beans? Oh, yeah, my ears perked up. Have you ever canned chili beans? Starting in June and ending in the fall, 1/4 pints, 1/2 pints, pints and quarts of everything I can preserve happens here. Corn, jam, strawberries, blackberries, and more are added to the freezer. Jams, preserves, jellies, green beans, limas, dill pickles, sweet pickles, tomatoes, tomato juice, pizza sauce, spaghetti sauce, soups, meats…the list is never ending. You see. Chili is one of my husband’s favorite foods. Pots of chili are created and added to the freezer…year round. And we are picky about the type of beans that we look for…mild chili pinto beans which often are difficult to find. Another reason for canning chili beans? Cost savings. Walmart price for a 2 lb. bag of pinto beans provided 9 pints at 22 cents. WHAT? Yes, please. Now I realize my equipment and jars are reused, making only the ingredients and lids needed for each…but, it’s a wonderful investment. Filling the pantry for winter…isn’t that the BEST reason to can? Have things on hand when needed for a recipe. Right? But with these…you begin with dried beans. The MOST cost effective way to buy beans. So, when I heard that this recipe begins with dried beans. I’m in! Another benefit? Canning allows me to know the exact contents in those chili beans. I thought perhaps if you are like me, you’d love to give these a try…save your budget…know the contents in those jars. If you need new canning equipment to begin the year…here are a few of my favorites. NOTE: Here’s the recipe for each pint. This allows you to personalize the number of jars your canner holds. I’m loving filling my pantry with these. Perfect for our favorite sweet potato chili recipe. While I had the pressure canner out to can lima beans and green beans, I had to give these a try. I’m so glad I did! Honestly? This type of canning can be done any time of year. That’s a win to not have to make these at the same time all the summer produce needs to be canned. If you love to can vegetables, this one may be perfect. And if you love to make and serve chili–I’m your budget friendly friend! Feel free to adjust your spices and adjust your heat level to make them perfect for guests when they have their feet under your table. Happy Canning,

Favorite July 4th Recipes

Leslie J Watkins — Wed, 01 Jul 2026 17:48:31 +0000

It’s hard to believe that the fourth of July is this weekend! I’m not sure how much outdoors we will do with the extreme heat now and forecast, but I’ll be prepared with our favorite July 4th recipes. For sure! July 4th Favorite Recipes First, salads. Potato Salad I don’t know about you, but potato salad has to be on the table for the July 4th gatherings. With the heat, I’ll be sure to add the bowl to a container over ice just to keep it cold since it is a mayonnaise based recipe. Mayo doesn’t like heat so be careful with any of your recipes with that ingredient and make sure they stay cold. Marinated Salad Aunt Helen’s marinated salad is a GREAT recipe for celebrating the 4th because of it’s vinegar base that handles heat beautifully. It made it’s appearance at our family reunion last weekend and was loved by all. Corn Salad Oh, my goodness! This is a favorite. You can always have corn on the cob…but this takes fresh veggies over the top with this July 4th favorite recipe! Caprese Salad Sliced tomatoes, fresh mozzarella slices, basil and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar…so quick and easy…and delicious! Burgers Burgers off the grill shouldn’t disappoint. Save by using ground turkey instead of beef. Here’s our favorite recipe, page 20 in the Vue magazine. Grilled Ahi Tuna Steak Sandwiches Simply the BEST. Here’s the recipe. Fourth of July Watermelon So easy and festive! Just cut the watermelon with star cookie cutters! Red, White and Blueberry Pie If you follow me on the Vue magazine, this is pie is a favorite Pampered Chef recipe, page 61 of this issue. Campfire S’mores Pizza The s’more flavor with a twist! Click here for the recipe. ICE CREAM! And last, but not least! Ice Cream! page 32 in that Vue issue… Make it any flavor that you want! You can pull out the old hand cranked or electric freezer…but, this is SOOOO much easier. If you’d like more July 4th ideas for entertaining, please join me here! By the way, I picked up this great little book at Kirkland’s yesterday for half off…250 facts about America. Lots of facts to share this weekend. Grab one if you have a Kirkland’s close to you. Or click below to order online… Happy 250th Fourth of July, friends! And whatever you choose to add to your menu, may all enjoy every bite and moment with feet under your table…wherever that may be! I’d love to know your menu in the comments. Thank you for joining me here,
