Recipe of the day January 18 - Spinach Salad with......!
Comments (3)My favorite salad, created by local restauranteer, Franklin's Homewood Gourmet! Baby blue salad 1 pound baby lettuce mix 6 ounces blue cheese, crumbled 2 cups balsamic vinaigrette (recipe below) 4 oranges, peel removed, cut to the flesh and sliced (2 slices per salad) 2 pints strawberries, hulled and quartered (2 tablespoons per salad) 6 ounces "Sweet and Spicy" pecans (recipe below) Toss baby lettuce mix with balsamic vinaigrette and blue cheese, using enough dressing to coat - but not drown - lettuce. Place in center of plate. Scatter oranges and strawberries over the salad. Top with sweet and spicy pecans. Serves 12. Balsamic Vinaigrette (According to the original recipe, this is for 12 salads. I had 3/4 of a jar left after serving a group according to the recipe, so you may want to reduce the amount if you do not want extra vinaigrette on hand.) 1 cup balsamic vinegar 1/3 cup dijon mustard 1/3 cup honey 2 tablespoons roasted garlic, chopped 2 teaspoons shallots, chopped 2 cups extra virgin olive oil Salt and pepper Whisk vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic and shallots together until combined. Slowly add oil while continuing to whisk dressing. Add salt and pepper to taste. "Sweet and Spicy" Pecans 4 tablespoons white sugar 2 tablespoons chili powder 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper 2 cups water 1/2 cup white sugar, mixed with water to make a syrup 6 ounces pecans, whole Mix sugar and spices together and set aside. Briefly soak the pecans in the sugar mixture, drain lightly and toss nuts with spice/sugar mix to coat. Place in a single layer on a roasting pan and roast for 10 minutes at 350 degrees until golden brown....See MoreRECIPE: Easy red potato salad and cabbage salad

Comments (8)I got this from here years and years ago. It's absolutely to die for! Sharon's Homemade Sweet & Sour Bacon Dressing ********************************** Fry 1lb. bacon in heavy pot till crisp. Drain & break into tiny pieces-not crumbled! Pour out half the grease-leave rest in pot. ADD: **** 5 eggs (beaten with a spoon) 5 1/2 cups sugar 1 1/4 tsp. salt MIX WELL. ADD: *** 1 cup flour 5 tsps dry mustard MIX WELL-use slotted spoon or whisk ADD: **** 2 1/2 cups CIDER vinegar 5 cups water-Mix till well blended. * Heat on medium-stirring often, but not constantly, as this lowers the cooking temperature. In about 15-20 minutes, mixture will begin to thicken. Make sure you scrape sides of pot & the bottom-often-don't let burn! * Once it is as thick as a medium gravy-remove from heat, and add bacon and 2 TBS margarine or butter. DRESSING WILL THICKEN AS IT COOLS. Sharon says: You may think this makes an awful lot-but it keeps in the fridge for 4 weeks--share with a neighbor! Excellent on Spinach Salads, Baked Potatoes, or just lettuce. Really good if you microwave a serving for 30 seconds or till just warm. ENJOY, ENJOY, ENJOY....See MoreWhich Type of Vermicomposting; Wedge, Flow-Through, or Other?
Comments (19)My personal experience using UCG, I got tons of mites. I add it only occasionally. Besides, it's hard to see IF it's broken down or not because of the dark colour. However, I envy you for the horse poop. That is the worms' favourite but I have no access to it. Besides, the rest of my household will complain, wherever I store it in the yard (which is not too big). Another item that is the worms' favourite are carrot cut-offs. As I mentioned before, I p/u pulp from a juice store and before they juice carrots, they cut off the tops and bottoms and the staff (young students) cut them off where ever the knife fell with still plenty of good stuff attached. I store them in closed buckets till they are soft and mushy. When fed to the worms, they'll be all over the stuff in no time, wayyyyy better than pulp. Good luck downplay. Keep us posted. I'm very interested how you'll be doing with your wedge bin....See More- 28 days ago
