Dijon Potato and Green Bean Salad

This is a nice alternative to a mayo-based potato salad. If you can't find (or don't want to spend the money on) new potatoes, Yukon gold or red potatoes cut into bite-sized pieces will work fine.

Artichoke, Romaine, and Cherry Tomato Salad with Balsamic Dijon Vinaigrette

I've made this salad a few times now, and I am really posting this for the dressing recipe. It's a fantastic dressing that would be good on any savory salad (meaning probably not so great on a salad with fruit or candied nuts). Make a batch and see what you think!

Strawberry Cheesecake Cupcakes

I have to say that I didn't even make these, my sister did. But I watched her make them, does that count?! It is a lengthy process to make these, but they're well worth it!

Coffee Ice Cream

A labor-intensive recipe (as ice creams go) that is well worth it, even for a non-coffee-ice-cream lover like me. Made this for my dad's birthday!

Mexican Spinach Dip

This was really quick and easy to make and quite tasty. I was worried the spinach would make it all taste too earthy but it worked really well together. Enjoy!

Beef and Bean Burritos with Sour Cream Poblano Sauce

These were delicious and easy to make. If you're short on time you can even just skip making the sauce and use plain sour cream as a garnish. Chuck loved them!

Chicken, Spinach, and Noodle Casserole

Delicious and makes lots of leftovers! If you don't want to make your own breadcrumbs, just substitute about 1/2 cup of panko bread crumbs.
