Bacon Cauliflower Salad
In the spring of 2018, we fell in love with this cool, refreshing bacon cauliflower salad. The crispy, curly leaves of Romaine lettuce provide a beautiful contrast, but we also love it with chopped broccoli florets. We lightened up the dressing with plenty of whole milk yogurt, which adds a pleasant, fresh tang. Hearty enough to serve as a main, it plays nicely as a side for steak or chicken. Versatility is a must in the Miller kitchen!

Bleu Cheese Pignoli Salad

Great flavor doesn’t have to be complicated. Know what you like, and bring together those combinations. If you love bleu cheese, a few crumbled ounces can add a burst of flavor to a salad, a burger, or even open-faced sandwiches. Get creative!

Strawberry Banana Crepes
Strawberry Banana Crepes are so good… they take fruit to heavenly heights. This is a delightful combination to get you started, but it is your “oh, so sweet” duty to experiment with your personal fruit favorites. The difference between my sweet and savory crepes is just a little vanilla and a hint of sugar. We like to compliment the fruit without competing with it. Simply fabulous.
