Roasted Sweet Potato Cobb Salad with Walden Farm's Honey Dijon Salad Dressing

Roasted Sweet Potato Cobb Salad, golden roasted sweet potatoes, chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, purple onions and avocados on a layer of fresh collard green ribbons and arugula salad greens and drizzled with honey dijon salad dressing.  I'm keeping it Southern! Do you ever have a few sweet potatoes needing to cook before they go bad?  Well, that is where I am, and two sweet potatoes are not enough to make a pie.   Now I could put them in a casserole or bake them, but that means lots of butter and cinnamon and sugar.  That's how I like my baked sweet potatoes, so I opted for a healthy version, roasted sweet potatoes. 

Cranberry Pork Chops {Perfect for Thanksgiving}

Cranberry Pork Chops, thick succulent pork chops browned in a cast iron skillet on top of the stove, covered with whole cranberry sauce, a sprig of rosemary and finished off in the oven.  Perfect for a Thanksgiving alternative from traditional turkey. Pork chops are a favorite around our house.  We like them fried, grilled, smothered, in casseroles and just about any way you can cook them.  We do prefer the bone in pork chops for grilling and frying because they are juicier.  The boneless ones have their place though, like in casseroles and dishes that are served with sauces.

Creamy Brown Sugar Grape Salad

Creamy Brown Sugar Grape Salad , crunchy juicy grapes folded in a sweet-tart creamy dressing.  To send it over the top sprinkle with brown sugar and pecans.  Oh! My. I must say I just now have made this glorious salad.  I have been seeing it on the social media sites for several years and just never got around to making it.   Now I make it all the time.  It is fabulous.  I can't get enough of it.  My husband loves it, my grands love it, everywhere I take it they love it.
