One of the best and easiest summer salad ever!

 This is one of the yummiest and easy to make summer salads. This is my new favorite salad for the summertime, because the flavors are sweet with just a hint of tart. I love the idea of adding toasted almonds to the mix as it gives this a bit of extra crunch. The salad dressing is so luscious and tasty—it pull this together perfectly with honey and lemon. However, you can use any dressing on a spinach salad or even use as a fruit dip. Sink your teeth into this divine and healthy treat. You are going to love this simple, yet delicious and refreshing summer salad.

For The Dressing :

1/4 Plain yogurt
1/4 vegetable oil
3 Tbps honey 
Minced zest of 1 lemon
2 Tbps lemon juice
1 Tbsp poppy seeds
Salt to taste
Whisk together all ingredients in a small bowl




For The Salad :

1 pint fresh strawberries hulled and halved

 

4 naval oranges Peeled and segmented





Blood oranges will also  work, I have used a combination of both, but you'll need the naval orange to add  contrasting color.



1/2 cup chopped fresh basil

 


1/3 cup sliced toasted almonds


Toss together all salad ingredient along with a 1/2 cup of the salad dressing.


Makes 4 cup servings
You can store remaining salad dressing covered  in refrigerator for up to a week.


                                                                ENJOY!

 Who doesn’t love delicious pancakes on the weekends? A real treat that makes you feel you’re in a bed and breakfast right in the privacy of your own kitchen. Fluffy pancakes have never been so easy or delectable. You can make fun shapes if you want to get creative with breakfast. You can also add fresh fruit such as strawberries or raspberries or even chocolate chips on top for a real restaurant style meal. Then add some fresh maple syrup or some butter if you prefer a lighter style. Drizzle some syrup on and sink your mouth into these luscious pancakes. Enjoy.


 To make the batter, you’ll want two bowls, and a couple of items from your fridge and pantry. First, you mix the wet ingredients together (eggs, buttermilk, melted butter).

  then combine with the dry (flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda). Stir together, not worrying if you leave a few lumps. 

 

Then, cook the batter in a large, flat pan. That’s it, that’s really it. Which means you should put down that pancake mix right this second. You don’t need it.

 

 You can make fun shapes  kids love this

 

 

Buttermilk Pancakes

INGREDIENTS
4 tablespoons butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoons baking soda
3 tablespoons sugar
2 large eggs
3 cups buttermilk
Fruit and maple syrup for garnish
Bacon or sausage for the side
Preheat the oven to 200°F and place a heatproof platter in the warm oven. Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter (reserve the rest for cooking).
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and a pinch of salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs and buttermilk. Whisk the egg mixture into the flour mixture.
Heat a large pan on medium-high heat, then working in small batches, grease the pan with some of the remaining butter (or oil) and pour small amounts of pancake batter to create 4 to 6-inch disks. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side, or until the sides of the pancakes have set and the bubbles rise to the surface. Flip and cook 1 to 2 minutes, or until the centers are cooked and golden brown. Transfer the finished pancakes to the warmed platter and repeat with the remaining pancake batter.
Garnish the pancakes with your choice of fruit or maple syrup (or both!). Enjoy

TIP:
 if you can’t find buttermilk, here’s a trick: combine the same amount of milk (regular or 2%) with the juice of half a lemon, some vinegar, or a big dollop of yogurt with live cultures. Let the two sit together, hanging out, for about half an hour, then go ahead with the pancake recipe. You’ll have just created homemade buttermilk!

Nibbles of apples with clove make this reminiscent of eating an apple pie—but this is suitable for breakfast or even dessert topped with ice cream for a real treat.

 

Getting the Most from Your Small Private Wine Cellar

So, you have decided that you really need a home wine cellar. You’ve built or bought the exact cellar you need, temperature and humidity controlled, and it looks just great. The big question now is, how should you stock it?

First of all, the only rule is that there are no rules. Your wine cellar, like your refrigerator or your pantry, should reflect your tastes and those of your immediate family. So if you really don’t drink much white wine, then don’t fill your cellar with it just because you should.

You need to decide what your objectives are. Do you want to have wine for everyday drinking, which are ready now, or is the cellar designed for laying down vintages which will come into their own in the years to come? Are you buying for drinking, or investing? Chances are, it’s going to be the former rather than the latter.READ MORE HERE!
