It’s been a LONG Summer!!!
“When I said, “My foot is slipping,” your love, O LORD, supported me. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.”- Psalm 94:18-19
So let’s see, I changed jobs at the end of March, have been traveling like crazy ever since. John graduated in May, studied all of June and July, took the Bar July 28th and 29th. He changed jobs this past week and it’s only August 23rd. It’s no wonder I’m so exhausted!!
We went to go see Julie & Julia tonight and I was inspired to get back into cooking! I haven’t really had time to dabble in it much in the last few months but now that I should have some time I want to try some new things. John has been bugging me to write a cookbook but I doubt anyone would want to read it. It’s just my recipes and things that we like but hey, who knows. Anyway, I think I have decided that I’ll put some of my recipes on here and maybe someone else might like them too. So to start out here is one of my favorite salads…I make this atleast once a week and it’s so simple!
Dressing
1/4 cup mayo
3 tbs. dijion mustard
4 tbs. honey
splash of vinegar (white or red wine)
pinch of salt
SMALL pinch of cream of tartar
wisk together till smooth and let chill for about 15-20min.
1 bag assorted dark green lettuce
1 tomato diced
1/2 a cucumber peeled, seeded, and diced
1 carrot shredded
store bought croutons
shredded cheese (optional)
Combine all ingredients and toss together. I do add chicken from time to time but I make this with ANYTHING. The dressing is also great as a Dip with chicken fingers!! :)
Let me know what you think! Read the rest of this entry »
