Tortellini, Steak, and Caesar
A well-balanced meal in a bowl! Goes well with a nice slice of Italian or French bread. This is a FAVE to take to work or school for lunch with both my teenaged daughters and son! I vary how much meat, pasta, and salad I use depending on how many servings I need. If you want to make it in advance or have leftovers, don't add the dressing and croutons beforehand. Mix croutons right before packaging and send dressing on the side. I make this whenever I have leftover steak!
Whole Orange Blender Cake
This whole orange blender cake is a pretty domed loaf, nicely sweet with big orange flavor, and even a tantalizing hint of delightful bitterness. It's also nice to have only the blender jar to wash when you're done!
