eCore's Tiffany Haymore - My Family's FAVORITE Healthy Meal!


Hi I'm Tiffany Haymore - I teach Spanish for the USG eCore Program. I grew up near Detroit, Michigan where a department store called Hudson’s was popular. They had a restaurant on the 2nd floor and my grandmother went to Hudson’s every Saturday for lunch. My mom and I occasionally accompanied her. My mom somehow obtained the super- secret recipe for their signature salad and started making it at home. It was one of our family’s favorites growing up! In 1983, we moved to Florida and since then I’ve married and had a family of my own. My grandmother passed away about 10 years ago and Hudson’s has gone out of business.
Yummy yummy to my tummy!!!

I know what you are thinking... "Salad doesn’t sound all that exciting". Right? But I can assure you, this is a delicious salad! In fact, it is now one of my own family’s absolute favorite meals! Over the years, I have added a few short-cuts from the recipe that my mom handed down (hence the salad cubes and pre-packaged chicken). It is now so easy that I actually had my children make it for this picture (it also doubled as dinner tonight!).

**all of these amounts can be added or subtracted at your desired amounts and preferences

Dressing Ingredients:
2 cups of Hellmans dressing

1 tsp Onion (I cheat by using Onion salt, but fresh is better)
2 Cooked/boiled egg yolks (grated)
**this is the most important part salt/pepper to taste

Directions:
1. Combine all of the salad ingredients
2. Combine all of dressing ingredients and mix with a blender until smooth.

3 Things to Consider Before Taking an Online Class While Overseas

Online Learning allows students the flexibility of continuing their educational journey from anywhere in the world. Online classes are an excellent option for students who are studying abroad for the semester, military members and families who are stationed overseas, or even those who want to take classes while traveling for pleasure. While online classes can usually be accessed from anywhere with a reliable internet connection, there are some things to consider before registering for class if you intend to complete the course while located outside of the U.S.  Availability of a Reliable Internet Connection To access most online classes, students must have a reliable internet connection. This may be a challenge in some areas of the world due to various issues such as local network instability, outages, firewalls, or restrictive local internet policies. Before registering for an online class, research the internet accessibility situation in the area in which you pl

Sitting in the Front Row of an Online Class

We all remember that first day of class and trying to decide where to sit. Even when we felt like hiding in the back row (and texting on our cell phones), we knew we were probably better off in the front. It seemed that the ones just a few feet from the lectern were almost part of the instructor’s secret club. And when we joined that club on the first row, it seemed as though our grades were higher, the teachers liked us more, and we were more confident. Being at the front of the class felt like being at the top of the class. In an online class, the front row has a lot more room than it does in a traditional classroom. There’s space for a lot more of us to be an active part of the learning experience. And finding that perfect spot is fairly simple - even in a virtual space. Provide a memorable introduction. Most courses provide for an opportunity to introduce yourself during the first days of class. Make a positive impression by not only telling about your academic goals but revealing

March Freebie: No Application Fee for Most USG Colleges and Universities

Free applications are back at more than 20 institutions in the University System of Georgia. During the month of March, potential students can apply for admissions to most USG institutions at no charge. By waiving fees, institutions are able to increase applicant pools and remove a financial barrier for those who might otherwise be reluctant to apply. Rates vary across institutions but savings can be significant. For a student applying at 10 USG institutions with average fees of $40, the savings would be $400.   Students may apply for as many schools as they wish. Most institutions will automatically waive the fee during the application process. A few require specific steps during the application process. Below is a listing of all participating USG institutions and additional instructions where needed.
