Homemade Caesar Dressing
This homemade Caesar dressing is easy to make and better tasting than anything I have found in a store. It has kept in the fridge for up to 2 weeks in a sealed container, but I normally finish it off way before then. In a matter of minutes you will have freshly made dressing with a great flavor and only one thing to wash—definitely a crowd pleaser at my house.
Pouding Chomeur
Though it translates to 'unemployed man's pudding,' pouding chomeur isn't cheap to make. The good news is you don't really need to eat this more than a few times a year anyway. It's the perfect dessert to pair with summer fruit or vanilla ice cream. If you use a bigger baking dish than I did, and pour over all the maple cream syrup, your cake should float over a pool of what will eventually be your sauce. If you just use a deep pie dish like I did, then just serve the extra sauce on the side.
Lemon Panko-Crusted Salmon
I love serving this panko salmon with a side of glazed baby carrots and garlic and feta mashed potatoes. It's a quick yet healthy meal that will satisfy your hunger.
