Do you like beets? It took me until my late teens to even get introduced to them and it was through these pickled beets with horseradish. I fell in love with beets after one bite...and, I guess horseradish too! But oh, my very missed beets!

15 Minute Chili Sauce
I'm going to be completely honest with you here. When I was young, I did not like this 15 minute chili sauce. I'm not even sure why.

I worked in the front of the house - bartender, server, manager - but some places where I worked had the policy of training their staff everywhere regardless of their position. That means that I got to learn … Continue reading Restaurant Style Guacamole

This salad is a favorite of mine. I don't know why I didn't make it more often because I only ever made it on the holidays. I really should have made it more often because it's such a simple salad! I didn't always add the bacon, in fact I rarely did. It does add a … Continue reading Broccoli Salad
