Southwestern Potato Casserole

What a wonderful casserole this southwestern potato casserole is! Fortunately, the recipe makes a really big batch (of course you could divide it or cut it in half), because we weren’t shy about eating it. I really liked the crunch that the tortilla chips added. There’s a little hint of heat, but not much, so don’t worry about taking this to a potluck or family get-together.

Southwestern Cobb Salad

Boy, I love a good salad, and this loaded up southwestern Cobb salad was sure easy to love! Go nuts! Put anything you want onto it! We used our smoked turkey breast for extra yummy goodness!

Whenever I’m making Cobb salads for dinner, I walk through the product section at the grocery store and grab whatever looks good, and can be chopped. Then I add a protein or two (cubed chicken, ham or turkey always go well), and some crunch (bacon, crumbled chips, croutons). Canned beans are also a great addition to a Cobb salad. The end result is always fantastic.

I highly recommend that you shred or grate your own cheese at home. Don’t buy the pre-shredded or pre-grated stuff. It has stuff added to it to keep it from sticking together. That ‘stuff’ affects how the cheese melts. Shred it yourself and use the good stuff.
