Over the last few months I’ve had a lot of conversations about tried-and-true recipes on Twitter. I decided it would be handy to put together a list that I could link to in these situations. These are the meals I’ve made over and over again for years, often to the point that I no longer need to look at the recipe. Most of them come together quickly and easily enough for a weeknight dinner or even lunch. Enjoy!
Soups
Salads

“Kelly Salad” – spring mix, strawberries, peaches, toasted pecans, Parmesan cheese, and grilled chicken that’s been marinated in orange juice
