Chicken Cordon Bleu with Creamy Butter Sauce
It’s National Chicken Cordon Bleu Day! Did you know that most people (me included) thought that this dish was French? It actually originated in Switzerland. The Swiss need to reclaim their recipe — the French are getting all the credit! As a child, my mother served frozen versions of this dish. However, I don’t believe anyone ever served me a homemade version until I was an adult. I really liked the frozen version. However, I love this one. Have fun!

Roasted Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Croutons
My goals were to start the month off right with this roasted tomato soup recipe. But fate had other plans. It’s been a weird 12 hours! First… Site Drama!

I couldn’t get into the site dashboards or anything. So, I had to talk to my hosting service to get some help. It took a while. Luckily, they have a rewind service that overwrote my sites with info from a time before the…

Asian Cabbage Salad with Warm Spicy Peanut Dressing
Today is National Cabbage Day (February 17th). If you had asked me about cabbage when I was a kid, I would have had nothing good to say, Maybe only that once I turned 18, I was never going to eat this vegetable again!

But I found other ways to prepare cabbage that were actually tasty! Healthy Benefits Cabbage has a lot of health benefits. It’s packed with vitamins like vitamin C and…
