We are in the heart of cold and flu season, and it is a particularly nasty flu going around. There are many people searching for anything that will comfort them.

Thousand Island Dressing (adapted from America's Test Kitchen )

This is the best recipe for thousand island dressing I have come across. It is fresh, thick and luxurious and you won’t be able to stop eating it! Amazing for homemade Reuben sandwiches

1 cup Hellman’s (Best on West Coast) Mayo (do not use Miracle whip, it is too sweet and will over power the […]

Lemon-Shallot Vinaigrette

Simple and delicious dressing, great for all kinds of greens.

3/4 cup grape seed oil (you can use a high quality olive oil if you like, but I prefer the cleaner taste of grape seed oil) 1/4-1/3 cup of grated Parmesan (to your liking) 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1 shallot, minced 2 teaspoons Dijon […]

Pasta with a White Wine and Sun Dried Tomato Cream Sauce

This recipe is from the cooking demo I did at the Eastern Iowa Wine Festival at the Blackhorse Inn. I will try to convert down to a smaller portion (4-6 people), as I made this dish in bulk for sampling. The dish is simple and fun to play with, so please explore your cooking goddess […]

Mix first 5 […]

Basic Vinaigrette

As many of you know, I rarely buy a dressing from the store. Vinaigrette’s are about as easy and tasty as they get, not to mention, if you use a high quality extra virgin olive oil, it is a rather healthy option (assuming you don’t drowned the salad)

I have a bunch of mason ball […]

Lemon Thyme Vinaigrette

This is one of my favorite salad dressings, and again, all made in one jar. A good quality extra virgin olive oil is key. Lower quality will lead to a bitter or ‘green’ taste that will overwhelm the dressing

3/4 cup good quality extra virgin olive oil 1/4 cup lemon juice 1 clove minced garlic […]
