Donna's Poppyseed Dressing

I've already posted that I'm not a fan of bottled salad dressing. Because of that, I have several dressings that we like that whip up in a flash. I try to keep at least one of them on hand, but the other day, I needed a dressing and we were totally out. I was looking for the poppyseed dressing recipe when I found this one.

Which is different than the poppyseed dressing that I've posted earlier.

This one doesn't have any mayo in it. For some, that will be reason enough to give it a try!

I've had this recipe for a long time. I had it for the first time when we were living in Arizona. This dressing keeps well in the refrigerator for several weeks . . . if it lasts that long at your house!

Donna's Poppyseed Dressing

3/4 cups sugar
1 tsp. dry mustard
dash of salt
1/3 cup vinegar
1 cup salad oil
1 Tbsp. plus 1 1/2 tsp. poppy seeds

Mix the sugar, dry mustard, salt and vinegar together. Stir well. Add the salad oil and poppy seeds. Whisk until well combined and it feels like your arm could fall off! Whisk just a bit more and enjoy!

**The recipe I gave you is 1/2 of the recipe -- which makes about 1 1/2 cups of dressing. It's easily doubled if you're serving a large crowd; or just want more for yourself!

This is my favorite salad to throw together; spinach, fresh fruit (berries and
oranges), grilled chicken and roasted almonds. Drizzle with the dressing
and you have a yummy meal!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers; the best there are! I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy! They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup. I found it at www.tastebook.com I made some adjustments to the recipe. Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients. I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe. It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out!

"Hosaf" (Dried Fruit Compote)

I've made reference to our trip last Summer to different European countries. My prized souvenirs are cookbooks from each country. I'm not sure, of the 4 cookbooks, which is my favorite, but I surely enjoy the one I purchased while in Greece. I'll tell the quick story: We were in an open air market in Greece, searching through antiques and junk. Along the perimeter of where we were shopping were business. In typical European fashion, outside one of the restaurants was a young man leaning against the doorframe, as if to summon customers into his restaurant. When he heard our English, he asked where we were from, as he had studied in the States when he was in school. That question led to a great conversation and he invited us into the restaurant which he and his mother owned. We sampled all sorts of incredible foods that afternoon and when I told him that I would love to have a cookbook because of the great experience we had just had, he showed me the co...
