Cooking was not something that came easy to me. When I first got married, I wasn't even sure how to boil water! Over the years--with many attempts at trying new things, I have come to love cooking for my family and friends. Cooking is a way to express yourself and the love in your heart. It takes a little effort, but is certainly worth it when you fill the tummies of those who are most important to you.

I like to keep things simple in the kitchen. (The fewer ingredients, the better!) It is my goal to share with you some of my family's favorites, keeping it simple and requiring little time from you and your already busy schedule.

Along with cooking, I have a profound love of teaching--children and adults alike. I am an Instructional Learning Coach for Kearney Public Schools. I live on a lake along the Platte River with my husband, Jason. We have three children: Brittany, Gordon, and Colvin. I enjoy running, biking, long walks, painting, decorating, hanging on the beach, reading, and of course, cooking and eating!

Grilled Jalapeño Poppers

Written By:  Julie Everett

Some like it hot!  Some do NOT!

I love Mexican food, but am more on the mild side of many dishes.  Jalapeños are not one of my favorites–especially when they are on their own.  They are MUCH too hot for me!  When I first…

Summer Grilling ~ Several Ways to Grill Veggies!

I grill twelve months out of the year, but I especially love grilling in the summer, as it alleviates heat in the house on our typical Nebraska days!

If you do not have a grill basket, I highly encourage you to go out and buy one.  They are relatively inexpensive…

Julie's Chicken Salad

**Editor’s note.  As usual, it took one of our fantastic feature writers to remind me about a simple TASTY recipe!  My mom used to make this one ~ it’s so good!  I’ve already prepared a batch for lunch.  Add grapes to the mix for an extra crunch!** ~Leslie…
