Cucumber Tomato Salad with Zucchini and Black Olives in Lemon Balsamic Vinaigrette
This zucchini salad is a deliciously light and fresh-tasting twist on cucumber tomato salad. It takes me to the water's edge and begs to be served with fresh seafood. Substitute Greek Kalamata olives for black olives if desired.

Sourdough and Banana Pancakes
A tasty and easy breakfast for two hearty appetites! Perfect for when you need to use up some starter and have an overripe banana. I add mini chocolate chips to mine.
Oklahoma Cheese Grits
It's a great day when my mom serves up this Southern specialty! Cooked grits are combined with seasonings, cheese, and eggs, then baked. The eggs are the secret to light fluffy grits that melt in your mouth! You may adjust or eliminate the hot sauce to suit your taste.
One Bowl Blackberry Cobbler
This one bowl blackberry cobbler is super easy to make with only 6 ingredients. We like the topping very crunchy so, after baking, I place it in the air fryer for 5 minutes, until it is golden brown and crispy.
