This garlic caesar salad dressing is oh-so-good!! It is a mayo-free variation of the classic caesar dressing. My mother-in-law introduced it to me and now it's my husband's favorite salad (he has a strange aversion to mayo so this one is great!) Make sure to use lots and lots of parmesan cheese and some really good croutons. I like Costco's Foccacia croutons the best. I usually like to double it

Red Beans and Rice
This Red Beans and Rice recipe is bursting with flavor. Eric and I love the spicy kick it has! It is also a very forgiving recipe...once you get used to it, you can add or subtract ingredients that sound good or you have on hand. For instance, I used half an orange pepper, a red onion, and added a pound of chunked ham to it this time - it was delicious. The way it is written here it is spicy, but
Cardamom Granola
This cardamom granola recipe is EXCELLENT!! I love it! I have tried different granola recipes and they have been too sweet, soggy or sticky...but this one is just perfect! It even stays crunchy in milk! I love that it has flax seed in it. (they are rich in Omega 3's --always a plus in your diet!) I also love the cardamon in it.
