  1. Loved it! Couldn't stop eating it. Served it with grilled chicken and it was the perfect side dish. Had some leftovers to get rid of so I added seeded cucumbers, sunflower seeds and bacon bits. TOOOO YUMMY!
     
  2. This is so tasty! I didn't use the green peppers (I didn't have any) but it was still great! It was good immediately after I put it together, but after it sat 4 hours, it was really yummy. Thanks!
     
  3. this is very very good... I left out the green peppers as I had none..and added a little deli ham slices I needed to use (just cut into pieces with my kitchen shears..it truly is a nice sise to supper or as it was for me lunch.. I took a serving to 3 of my elderly neighbors.. 1 couple 84 & 82 and another lady that is 85..they all enjoyed it & Mrs. D asked for recipe
     
  4. I made this salad and everyone just loved it (even my picky mom-in-law)This one is a keeper.I can't believe how easy it was to make.

<p>I firmly believe everything tastes better when you had nothing to do with the preparation or clean up. <br /><br />I used to have a few favorite cookbooks, but this site has easily replaced them....I love the ease of searching for exactly what I need and the feature of seeing what others have rated the particular recipe. <br /><br />I'm a mother to 2 kids. I stay at home and provide childcare so I can be with them during the day. <br /><br />For fun I enjoy reading, shopping &amp; movies, as well as getting together with friends &amp; family for games &amp; cards. LOVE to travel when the $ is available. BIG into Jimmy Buffett.</p>
