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...

Mixed Nut Butter

I've been making almond butter for the Mr. some time now. I used to make it in my (very) old food processor. Matter of fact, my dad bought the food processor for me before I ever got married . . . from a garage sale! So I know it's at least 20 years old, but probably older! I bet when my dad did that he had no idea I'd still be using it! That's money well spent, huh? Recently, thought, the Mr. saw a "suggestion" to make mixed nut butter. There you go; enough said! I've already made him two different kinds recently. Regardless of your preference, I don't think you can go wrong! The first I made was a combination of walnut and pecan Now, I've made a mix of cashew and walnut Next will be pecan and almond I think. It's so easy. Follow the general directions from the post about making almond butter: http://karen-proverbs31.blogspot.com/2012/01/almond-butter.html There's a bit of difference, but on...
