Apple Blueberry Streusel Muffins

I do not like fresh blueberries at all, but I cannot stop eating these fresh blueberry muffins. They're moist because of the apples, sweet, and just plain yummy. I made three dozen of these bad boys and left for 4 hours. When I returned, there were only a handful left.

Oven Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Wondering what to do with those Brussels sprouts? I was. I did half a batch of roasted sprouts with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and half with olive oil and Parmesan cheese. Hands down the parmesan won.

Chicken Salad

You can serve this salad on baguettes, crackers, croissants, or just plain bread.

Peach Cake

I gleaned this recipe off a Mrs. Frankenburg I met at one of my husbands MBA related events. I memorized the ingredients, wrote them down as soon as we got home, and tried it out. Since the only amount of anything she gave me was the eggs, I was a bit weary to try it, but oh man it was delicious! Now, she used canned fruits, but we're not limited to that if you wan't to do a tiny bit more work to crush your pineapple and slice your peaches.

Fruit Salad

The variations are endless for fruit salad. You don't have to have all these fruits, but I wouldn't use any less than five different fruits. Some people use canned fruit (particularly mandarin oranges- yuck!), but you'll find none of that here. Here's our favorite combination. This is super easy!

Orange and Chicken Salad

This is a rather light meal, but when served with rolls or biscuits, it leaves you feeling full and good about what you ate.

1 Head Green or Red Leaf Lettuce
2-3 Oranges peeled and sliced into bite sized pieces
2 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
1/3 Cup Ranch Dressing (I prefer Hidden Valley)

Cut chicken into bite sized pieces. Cook chicken with ranch dressing until the middle is no longer pink- don't over cook your chicken. While the chicken is cooling, wash and tear lettuce and prepare oranges. Toss everything in a salad bowl. Serve cool.

Linguine Primavera

One of my favorite dishes. It is delicious with whole wheat pasta. You feel good after eating a dish so loaded with veggies, and it is filling. But, that might be because you can't stop eating it.
