Strawberry Pretzel Salad is a vintage layered salad which comprises a pretzel crust, cream cheese layer, and strawberry gelatin layer.

The heat of summer is upon us in the Deep South. Keep plenty of cold drinks, popsicles, and Frozen Berry Cheesecake Salad with Bourbon Whipped Cream on hand. Summer in the Deep South is no joke.

West Indies Salad

Jackie Garvin — Tue, 16 May 2017 12:11:01 +0000

The original post was published April 2011. I’ve update the post with new photos and recipe tweaks and republished. There are a couple of phrases in our American English idiom that stick in my craw. The first it, “It may or may not.” Now, exactly what are you saying when you say something “may or...

Old Fashioned Chicken Salad

Jackie Garvin — Wed, 26 Apr 2017 19:48:50 +0000

Old Fashioned Chicken Salad is my take on a classic style chicken salad made with simple ingredients. Start with a whole fresh chicken and stew it down or make it easy by grabbing a rotisserie chicken. Any self-respecting Southern cook will have a recipe for chicken salad in their arsenal. We can’t host a...

Wedge Salad with Buttermilk Blue Cheese Dressing

Jackie Garvin — Sun, 30 Oct 2016 18:55:23 +0000

My husband is an iceberg lettuce fan. You’re not going to convince him to give it up for some of the more nutritional salad greens. I like a wide variety of greens including salad greens as well as cooked greens like collards, turnips and mustard. No, I didn’t accidentally leave out kale. It was on purpose. ...

Buttermilk Ranch Cucumber Onion Salad

Jackie Garvin — Mon, 08 Aug 2016 12:48:52 +0000

Buttermilk Ranch Cucumber Onion Salad is an uncomplicated salad made with familiar flavors. A summertime favorite. Cucumbers are regular visitors at my table during the summer. If we don’t have them in a salad, I set a plate of fresh sliced cucumbers and tomatoes on the table at most meals. In addition to a wonderful...

Summer Berry Salad

Jackie Garvin — Tue, 14 Jun 2016 16:56:36 +0000

My family has a deep abiding love of fruit salads. We usually include berries in a fruit salad but today I decided on a salad devoted exclusively to berries. A simple Summer Berry Salad is a delicious mixture of berries dressed with a minty honey lime dressing. Serve it as a side or an afternoon pick-me-up....

Two of my Bible study mates, Melonie Hall, Sheryl Francavilla, and I are nearing the end of a year long study. We thought a little celebration was in order, plus we’re always up for feeding ourselves, so we had a meal at my house. Melonie brought a delicious cheese and cracker tray to get us...

Easter Egg Radish Salad

Jackie Garvin — Sat, 19 Mar 2016 20:01:26 +0000

My introduction to radishes as the star of a salad and not just a supporting cast member, came when my husband and I visited Knife and Fork Restaurant in Spruce Pine, NC. They offered an heirloom radish salad. They must have seen me coming because I’m a sucker for a food item described as heirloom...

Green Bean Salad

Jackie Garvin — Sun, 06 Mar 2016 18:47:54 +0000

I’m bringing back a recipe that I learned to make in Home Economics in 7th grade: Green Bean Salad. I’ve updated and freshened it up. The original version called for canned green beans, Spanish onions and French Dressing. I’ve swapped in tender fresh green beans, red onion and Blue Cheese Dressing. The colors are beautiful....

Salmagundi

Jackie Garvin — Fri, 12 Sep 2014 23:26:57 +0000

I volunteered to chair a committee at our church and several people graciously agree to serve with me. We had our first meeting yesterday at my home. I felt the least I could do is furnish lunch for these lovely ladies with servant hearts. I decided on Salmagundi which is always a hit with the...

Jackie Garvin — Tue, 08 Jul 2014 20:25:04 +0000

The due date for my manuscript is two days away, T minus 2 days. Gosh, I really don’t know what to think about that. Part of me is ready to turn it in and get on with something else while I wait for the edits to come back. Part of me thinks I need to...

Sirloin Steak and Arugula Salad

Jackie Garvin — Wed, 07 May 2014 18:16:29 +0000

Sirloin Steak and Arugula Salad contains spicy, peppery arugula, cold sliced sirloin steak with blue cheese crumbles and makes a hardy, satisfying salad. I have a love/hate relationship with green salads. I love them so much that I gorge myself out on them to the point that I can’t bear the thought of eating another...

No Shame (Recipe: Coke Salad)

Jackie Garvin — Sun, 10 Nov 2013 16:55:35 +0000

Coca-Cola and congealed salads. Southern and Southern. All the way Southern. It’s no surprise that someone married the two and came up with a fun little salad. Or dessert. You can decide. Some credit Coca-Cola as being the originator of this recipe,others debunk that idea. I’ve had this recipe in my files long enough for...

Searching for fun, interesting food to feed children is a never-ending mission for Mamas and Grandmamas. It’s a wonderful way to use some of your creativity and make meals special. Not that every meal isn’t special. If you’re eating, it’s special. Maybe memorable is a better word. Nah, that one doesn’t work either. Every bite...

“Won’t You Come for a Cup of Christmas Tea?” (Menu: Christmas Tea Party)

Jackie Garvin — Mon, 24 Dec 2012 18:16:39 +0000

Tom Hegg wrote two books which capture the essence of the Christmas spirit. The idea of giving of yourself and your time is sometimes overshadowed by times spent at busy shopping malls searching for the “right” gift. These precious little books remind us that the best give that have to offer someone….anyone….is to simply set...
