I fell in love with cooking as a little girl, sitting on the counter, helping Mom cook. That shared love of cooking is what this blog is all about. I want this to be a place where we can all share and learn from each other all our favorite recipes, kitchen tips, and more. From how to fry an egg to Grandma's tried and true classics to your favorite olive oil. I hope everyone enjoys the blog, has fun with it, and will contribute your own ideas.

7 Layer Salad

This is a great salad. I can't remember where I got this from, I think from Mom. It's really good, I make it every year at Thanksgiving and the next day cold out of the fridge it is unbelievable. Enjoy. 

7 layer salad
From: Christi 
1 head of lettuce
5 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
3 green onions, chopped
2 cups frozen green peas
real bacon pieces (in little bag)
Ranch Dressing
Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Tear lettuce in bottom of a bowl. Next layer green onions. Next layer frozen green peas. Next layer eggs. Next layer a thin layer of Ranch Dressing. Finish off by sprinkling top with bacon and shredded cheddar. 


NOTESI always think this salad needs a little more color, so I added some diced tomato. Also, I layer it all pretty like this and let everyone see it all pretty, but then when it's time to eat I toss it all together really well. I hate making people think they have to try to keep it pretty and still get a little of everything out of the bowl. So I toss it together and that way it is much easier to scoop out.
