Chive & Walnut Dressing

May 9, 2015

ChiveDressing-3

Life is currently a little chaotic. We are getting our kitchen remodeled, and without a kitchen to play in, I am feeling very lost. Plus, living on takeout food is expensive, boring, and downright unhealthy. I am counting the days until I get to cook and prepare my own food again. We also just got a new puppy, which is adding slightly to the chaos. That said, he is really adorable and alleviates any chaotic stress too. So, this week’s recipe is a super simple dressing. It’s one that can be made in seconds, and can transform a boring green salad into something delicious. Continue Reading…

S’Mayo

November 22, 2011

Home-made mayo is ridiculously simple to make and so much creamier and tastier than anything you will ever buy from a jar. It does have a shorter shelf life than most processed mayos, but you will find endless excuses to use up this yummy mayonnaise.

All you need is a few simple ingredients and the best quality free range eggs you can get your hands on. Give it a try and I promise, you’ll never look back. Continue Reading…
