Homemade French Dressing

March 8, 2012 By Camille 2 Comments

As we start heading in to Spring and Summer, I start thinking of salads for my menu and with salads come salad dressings. I love homemade dressings. They are healthier, cheaper and tastier than the store bought kind.

Homemade Buffalo Sauce

February 28, 2012 By Camille 1 Comment

I have a serious love of anything and everything "Buffalo" flavored. Last week my mom and I decided to break out the deep fryer we'd scored at a yard sale in the Fall to make our own Buffalo wings. We needed a sauce that wasn't too spicy (we have some serious wimps in the family). I whipped this up and it was a hit. I would say this is on a mild Buffalo sauce. If you want it spicier, I'd add Tabasco or more Frank's to it, a little at a time until you get the right amount of heat. Homemade Buffalo Sauce Print Prep time: 5 mins Cook time: 1 min Total time: 6 mins Serves: 3/4 cup Ingredients 1/3 cup butter 1/2 cup Frank's Red Hot Sauce 1 Tablespoon white vinegar 2 teaspoons garlic powder (or more to taste) Instructions Melt butter in a small sauce pan over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat. Add rest of ingredients and whisk to combine. Wordpress Recipe Plugin and Microformatting by EasyRecipe 2.2.1 … [Read more...]

Homemade Onion Soup Mix

February 2, 2012 By Camille Leave a Comment

I don't use onion soup mix much, but every once in a while I like to make a dip or use it season potatoes. This is really easy to mix together and keep in the pantry. You can make salad dressing with it, put it in sour cream for a veggie or chip dip, season chicken with it, or use it to make Ranch Potatoes. I keep the mix in a glass canning jar in my spice cupboard. Dried, minced onion is found with the spices (and is also a good substitute if you run out of fresh onions!), but I try to buy it in bulk at Costco or Sam's as it quite a bit less expensive that way. Homemade Onion Soup Mix Print Recipe type: Condiment Author: Heavenly Homemakers Prep time: 5 mins Cook time: 1 min Total time: 6 mins Ingredients 2/3 cup dried, minced onion 3 teaspoons parsley flakes 2 teaspoons onion powder 1 teaspoon celery salt 1 teaspoon sea salt 1 teaspoon sucanat (or sugar) 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper Instructions Mix all … [Read more...]

Buttermilk Syrup

December 1, 2011 By Camille Leave a Comment

I am not a huge fan of maple syrup. I discovered grade B maple syrup a year ago and that helped a bit, but in general, I think maple syrup ruins a good pancake. I finally realized that I could actually make my own syrups of all kinds of different flavors! Up until now my favorite has been coconut creme syrup, but buttermilk syrup has ratcheted to top of my must have pancake toppings. This syrup is out of this world and would be good on anything -- pancakes, waffles, french toast.... My syrup is brown because as usual I used sucanat, but if you use white sugar, yours will be nice and white. Buttermilk Syrup Print Recipe type: Breakfast Author: My Most Delicious Dishes Blog Prep time: 5 mins Cook time: 7 mins Total time: 12 mins Serves: 6 Ingredients 1/2 cup butter 1 1/2 cups sugar 2 Tablespoons real maple syrup 3/4 cup buttermilk 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon vanilla Instructions In a large saucepan over medium high heat, … [Read more...]

French or Catalina Dressing

November 3, 2011 By Camille Leave a Comment

One of my favorite meals of all time is taco salad. I lived with a college friend after I graduated from college and she taught me the yummiest taco salad recipe that used French or Catalina dressing and Doritos. Doritos are pretty hard to replace with a homemade version, but the Catalina dressing is easy to make and better than the bottle! French or Catalina Dressing Print Recipe type: Salad Dressing Author: Laura, Heavenly Homemaker blog Serves: 1 bottle Ingredients 3/4 cup ketchup 2 Tablespoons sucanat or brown sugar 1/2 cup olive oil 1/4 cup red wine vinegar 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke 1 Tablespoon ground celery seed Instructions Combine all ingredients and whisk together.

Honey Mustard Dijon Dressing

November 1, 2011 By Camille 2 Comments

There used to be a restaurant chain I loved called Bennigans. They served a chicken salad with a honey mustard dressing and I loved that salad! They are no longer in business, but this salad dressing is just like the one they served. If your kids like to dip their chicken in honey mustard sauce - this will do the trick!

Hot Fudge Sauce

October 28, 2011 By Camille 2 Comments

When I was a little girl there was a Woolworths store in the next town north of where we lived. Inside the Woolworth' store was a lunch counter. I can't remember if they served food, but they did serve hot fudge sundaes. We rarely went to the Woolworth's store but one day for some reason my mom and I went and had hot fudge sundaes. That sundae was so good that I still remember it today, some 30 years later. I've never had hot fudge sauce quite as good as Woolworths. Until now. This hot fudge took me right back to that Woolworth sundae. When I made this last summer, everyone in my family agreed that this is the best hot fudge sauce we'd ever had. And it took about 10 minutes to make. I used high quality, 70% cacao Sharfen Berger dark chocolate and I'm pretty sure that's what took this sauce over the top. But I think you could use semi-sweet chocolate chips and get a very good sauce. Hot Fudge Sauce Print Author: Soda Fountain Classics by Elsa … [Read more...]

Red Enchilada Sauce

September 20, 2011 By Camille 3 Comments

In 2004 my (new) husband and I made the trek across country from Michigan to Arizona. We did everything you shouldn't do -- we got married, moved 2,000 miles away from everyone we knew for a new job. It was not a fun year. But we did have a nice time driving the 2,000 miles! We stopped one night in Albuquerque, New Mexico and had dinner in the Old Town. I can't remember what exactly ordered, but I remember the waiter asking me if I wanted it "red or green"? I would come to figure out that sauces on Mexican foods are either red (from chili peppers) or green (from tomatillos). I prefer green, but every once in a while I want a red chili sauce. You can, of course, buy this in a can at the store, but this sauce is much tastier, cleaner and cheaper!

Homemade Marinara

August 9, 2011 By Camille Leave a Comment

Growing up my mother always made what we called spaghetti sauce, but I now call marinara, from scratch. She used tomato paste and sauce in a can and a packet of spaghetti sauce seasoning. I, however, seemed to lack the spaghetti sauce magic because try as I might I never made a good sauce from scratch. Then one day a few months ago I got a manicure (thank you, Groupon) for our family pictures. My manicurist was Italian and she gave me tips on making a good marinara. It worked! I have successfully made my own marinara sauce many times since then. I do not use canned tomatoes because I am concerned about the BPA lining in the cans. Instead I used jarred or boxed tomatoes. But feel free to use whatever works for you! My recipe calls for 2 cups of water, but use more or less to get the consistency you want. The same goes for the tomatoes. I usually rinse out my containers with water to get all the tomato goodness out. Homemade Marinara Print Recipe type: … [Read more...]
