Crispy Prosciutto Topped Salad with 2-Ingredient Dressing
This salad dressing sounds a little crazy. Yet the strange combination of two basic ingredients really works, providing a sweet/tangy edge to a simple mixture of fresh greens. A few well chosen add-ins really make this salad shine. Everything can be prepped ahead and tossed at the very last minute. Perfect paired with a protein…
Broccoli and Prosciutto 3-Cheese Personal Pizza
This pizza tastes as terrific as it looks and you just might be fooled at how easy it is! We are big fans of grilled pizza with homemade dough, but shortcuts can also produce amazing results. Start with a whole wheat pita, some leftover broccoli, and a few items from the deli counter and you…

Cornbread is one of my husband’s favorites. Over the years, I have acquired a rather hefty collection of cornbread recipes–sweet, savory, with-a-jalapeno-kick, muffins, breads…the list goes on.
