March 20, 2018 No Comments

OHHHHH KKAAAAYYYYY Just a heads up, I made this last night and Adam told me it was “the best food I’ve ever made” I can’t talk up these recipes enough. If you like pickles…… THIS SALAD. OMG. I’m addicted. Plus, I made it in like 2 minutes it’s really the perfect weekday dinner. That also goes for the mini turkey meatloafs. Now I’m on a health kick so I used ground turkey but you can use lean ground beef or bison as well. LET’S GET AT IT. xxoo Drea Marie
