It’s lettuce time… try Kenny’s all time favorite salad.  He would eat this everyday if I would make it for him.  This is a recipe his mom used to make and the same dressing my grandmother used on her German potato salad.  It is so good! 1 /2 pound bag lettuce (Black Simpson is best) washed but […]

I found this recipe in a Walgreen’s magazine ~ heart health & you.  Since  it sounded so good and we have plenty of kale I decide to fix it for Kenny this week.  We thought it was delicious, I used oranges since Kenny can’t have grapefruit, I think it would be great either way.  Hope […]
