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:

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.

University System of Georgia eCampus Offers Free Online Courses

Students can now take more than a dozen online non-credit college courses at no charge. While most students who take FreeCampus courses already attend USG colleges and universities, the courses are open to anyone. These self-paced courses are also asynchronous with traditional graded assessments. After successfully completing a course online, a student can receive a certificate for earning a grade of 75 percent or higher. There is no penalty for not completing a course. With a focus on courses that are sometimes a barrier to college completion, the USG FreeCampus program allows students to better prepare themselves for credit-bearing courses. For example, a dual-enrolled high school student can take an English composition course to hone his or her writing skills before taking the for-credit version at a College or University. An adult learner who is returning to college after years away can brush up on math, increasing both confidence and future academic performance. USG eCampus also ...
