My mother would be so proud of you. Everything on the table goes in a serving dish with serving utensil. I on the other hand would eat from a collinder to avoid washing another dish.😂

My Grammy could not stand to see anything on the table in its original packaging! She’d give a disapproving look and say, “My, this is gracious living” if the salad dressing bottle or sour cream tub or whatever found its way onto the table. She’s been gone for too long now, but I still hear her remark when the boys put the BBQ sauce bottle on the table, etc. I always decant into a dish or a small pitcher. My husband thinks it’s dumb and wasteful to dirty up the extra dishes, but it’s the way my Grammy and my Momma did things and the way I was raised!

Sides are the best!!

I think side dishes are the best I eat those more than regular main dishes

I did a similar coconut cream pineapple cake like this. Take a can of condensed milk, a tub of cool whip, add some coconut shavings and crushed pineapple and a splash of pineapple juice fold it all together til mixed and then spread it over a cooled pineapple cake base. Let it set, then and add some crushed graham cracker crumbs to the top.

You lost me at coconut, but I can definitely see doing this with pineapple and maybe a little maraschino cherry juice or some finely chopped cherry bits!

The poke cake looks yummy. I love the ease of a poke cake and this looks perfect for summer.

I use a 2:1 ratio with ranch and creamy italian dressings in my pasta salad. 🔥

Everything looks tasty and interesting! I’m trying to imagine what the texture of the smashed potato salad would be like…for tonight’s dinner starch I’m just going to smash the potatoes with garlic, butter, Parmesan cheese and a little salt. I’ll work up my courage to try as a salad! Never heard of Nellie & Joe’s key lime juice but will hunt it down! ❤❤❤

I just bought the Kroger Creamy Italian dressing I’m making the pasta salad today. ❤

We started using this dressing recently too. It’s so good.

I use the same kind of dressing!! Isn't it fantastic! I discovered it a few years ago. My Eclair cake is what I am requested to bring to potlucks. It is so easy and very few ingredients.

These recipes look delicious 🤤

I'm a side dish eater too. I can make a meal out of a variety of them. lol You should use kitchen scissors for cutting those crispy potatoes. I bet they would easier than a knife. 🙂

These looked so delicious Kristin! Thank you for sharing these with us!

Same - and people always ask me what I did to the taco salad to make it taste so good.… it seems like Italian dressing wouldn’t go with taco salad, but it goes perfectly. I also use it on pasta salad with salad supreme, it’s the best combo. I hate bland pasta salad that tastes like plain pasta. 😂 Great job Taylor

I recently scored a bottle of ceaser dressing on close out at Food Lion for a whopping .50 and ive used it in pasta salad and it's soooo good!!

Yess, Kristen All of these ideas seemed Great for any dinner,gathering, cookout,etc!!😋 Thanks for sharing,I definitely Enjoyed the video!☺️

What's interesting is my local Kroger-owned store does not seem to have the Kroger brand of Creamy Italian dressing. It has some other Kroger brand dressings but not that. It does have the Kraft brand though.

Awe, 😭 I have an abscessed tooth that I'm getting over but I had to watch this one because I live for these dishes in the summer. Great video idea. ❤ I will be better soon to make bacon ranch pasta salad! 😋😋 With grilled chicken in there. 😋

If you can get Dion's Ranch dressing, it is awesome. We have a Dion's pizza place about a half mile away so that is where we get it.

Great video !!!!😊

Hi Kristin. Great recipes as always. I love anything key lime!😋 Your cake looks exactly like the picture from Betty Crocker😍 Thanks for sharing 🤗💕

I made the cake! It is amazing! I took your advice and added half milk. It worked like a charm. I also did not wait until the cake was completely cooled. It was about 40 minutes after it came out of the oven. I thought maybe a little warmth would help the mixture go to the bottom of the holes. Thanks for the recipe and the extra advice! ❤

Anytime my grandma made a poke cake, she would use the end of a wooden spoon to poke the holes. Then top with whipped cream. That way the icing was in the cake. I’m going to make the smash tater salad! My family loves smashed taters.

Everything looks so yummy. Tip for smashing potatoes like that spray the bottom of glass with cooking spray oil before you smash them they won't stick. We eat smashed like with garlic butter and Parmesan cheese.

You could mayne substitute the heavy cream with evaporated milk instead of just milk for the key lime pie, i think it would taste better that way😊

All looks good. Don't think I've ever had key lime pie. Mom might have made it once. Maybe she didn't like it either. She made a whole lot of desserts just don't remember it.

I’m so with you on raw onions. Nope. Now cooked onions are yum

Kristen…the purple onions are called red onions. 🤣🤣Everything looks great except the smashed potato salad…I like smashing the potatoes like that but adding garlic & parm to them for a hot side dish! So yummy! But I love potato salad! I’m DEF going to try that salad dressing in my next pasta salad! I could eat pasta salad everyday!! 🤣🤣 I like using the tri-color pasta for my pasta salad also!

Do not care much for the spiciness of pepperoni. Would use salami. Would add a chopped up cheese stick also.
