Caesar Salad Dressing (made with 0% Greek yogurt)

I love Caesar salad but not all of the calories that it packs, so I decided to try to make my own dressing with Greek yogurt.  I will be making more dressings with this idea. 

1 Cup of 0% Greek Yogurt

2 chopped garlic cloves

2 TBLS Worchestershire sauce

3 TBLS Red Wine Vinegar

1TBLS Dijon Mustard

1 tsp dry ground mustard

Salt and Pepper to taste

A small drizzle of olive oil

Lots of grated Parmesan cheese 

Mix in a food processor or by hand

(These are my best guesses on measurements.  I'm horrible at writing things down when I'm in the kitchen) 

It's thick but leaves a nice creamy coating when mixed with the salad in a bowl.  It could probably be thinned a little with milk if you prefer.  

Watermelon Heaven

Never, ever, ever think twice about buying produce from the back of the farmer's pickup truck on the side of the road.  I have never had a watermelon as good as this.  Yum!

If only I would be so organized to make something like this for lunches all week.  Maybe some day I will be!! 

Homemade Pho

I made this broth with a rotisserie chicken carcass.  With thinly sliced beef tenderloin, it was still healthy and super satisfying! A great end to a stressful work day. 

This happened...

And I need to replicate...

Carolina Eggs Benedict 

English Muffin

Lump Crab Cake

Poached Egg

Hollandaise 

Irresistible... 

Fresh Beef Tenderloin Spring Rolls

Marinated (dark soy sauce, mirin, sweet chili sauce), seared beef tenderloin slices....in rice paper layered with lettuce, cilantro, bean sprouts, cucumber, jalapeño, and beef.

Roll, dip in sweet spring roll sauce! 

Enjoy! 

Heirloom Tomatoes

Meijer had all different shapes and shades. They were delicious! Especially delicious served with bacon, lettuce and mayo! 

New Favorite Pizza Topping

Mini pepperoni!  Every pizza needs just a little pepperoni grease.  I found these mini pepperoni.  A couple scattered around a veggie filled pizza is perfect!  You won't feel like you are missing a thing!
