I love main dish salads. Flavorful. Simple. Satisfying. This Roast Beef Salad is all of those things, plus it's delicious! What's not to love?
This is another one of those recipes I can remember my mom making since forever. It was a great one for summer nights when it was just too hot to cook. You can roast the beef during the cooler morning, mix it all up to marinate in the dressing, and then it's all ready to go by dinner time!
Once you've roasted and sliced the meat, this salad comes

Simple Grilled Potato Packets
Ready for another great grill recipe? I have already shared two of my mom's go-to summer side dish recipes: Cheesy Grilled Potato Packets and Grilled Zucchini Tomato Parmesan. Now I'm sharing the easiest one yet...Simple Grilled Potato Packets. These potato wedges are seasoned with just salt, pepper and garlic and are both tender and soft with crispy edges.

Classic Broccoli Bacon Salad
This Classic Broccoli Bacon Salad has been a staple at summer picnics and parties since I can remember. My mom always made a big ol' bowl of this stuff whenever we were having something going on in the backyard. Crunchy broccoli. Sharp Cheddar cheese. Creamy dressing. Bacon. It's a perfect combination of flavors!
I've never been a big fan of classic summer salads like traditional potato salad or macaroni salad (I'm not a big mayo person.) However, this salad I really get into. Maybe

Cheesy Grilled Potato Packets
Creamy. Cheesy. Hot off the grill. That's what these Cheesy Grilled Potato Packets are all about and they are an awesome, easy side dish!
Just like my Grilled Zucchini Tomato Parmesan foil packets, this potato recipe is one my mom has been making since I was a kid. Potatoes are a perfect side dish to grill in foil packets. They become tender and soft with crispy grilled edges. And this recipe adds a little chicken broth, cheese and butter to make the finished potatoes creamy and
