Cucumber Salad with Homemade Garden Ranch Dressing

If you follow Linda and I, you’re starting to get to know us by now. I think you know I’m a huge fan of using the herbs in my garden.

Welcome!

| Linda

Hello All! Welcome to our adventure. My sister Heidi & I are serious foodies!! We have spent decades between us not only enjoying fabulous fare in restaurants but creating and tweaking recipes to share our fabulous fare at home with all our loved ones.

I am Linda, the older sister…as youngsters, Heidi & I shared a room. We were up all night chit-chatting and plotting and planning! We decided to start a blog because even though we now live in separate states, we love to share our daily menus and recipes with each other. Our families enjoy our meals so much they’ve all said we should have our own restaurant, but alas, we’re too far apart, so by blogging we can share our love of food with you! Please enjoy this journey with us!
