Creamy Caesar Dressing

by Pam on March 4, 2013

I found this recipe on Skinnytaste^[1] and couldn’t wait to make it. I never make Caesar salads because they are so unhealthy but this recipe gives you all the Caesar salad flavor but without any of the guilt. I adapted the recipe a bit by adding some Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and extra garlic. This creamy dressing has a ton of flavor and it was super simple to make. I loved how tangy and garlicky it was. This will be a regular on my table from now on.

Combine the cheese, lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, freshly cracked black pepper, to taste, and anchovies in a small bowl. Mix with an immersion blender until well combined. Add the oil and Greek yogurt and mix with the immersion blender until creamy and smooth. Taste and re-season with freshly cracked pepper, if needed. Enjoy.

Mushroom Ricotta Bruschetta – This Was Anything But Flat

Please do not take this post’s brevity for any kind of lack
of enthusiasm or excitement over this very handsome mushroom and ricotta
bruschetta. Time’s a little short today, as my car’s left-front tire was fatally
injured last night in a brutal pothole attack.

Everyone else is fine, but I didn’t want to delay the
uploading of this fine recipe until I had time to do a proper blog post. So
basically, I’m phoning this one in. Of course, my biggest fear isn’t that
you’ll be disappointed…it’s that you won’t notice that big a difference.

Anyway, this was super tasty, and very simple to make. I
show making the ricotta bruschetta part first, but as I mention, you’ll
obviously want to have your mushrooms cooking while you prepare the bases. I
hope you give this delicious, and very versatile dish a try soon. Enjoy!

Shrimp and Olive Marinara over Galletti Topped with Parmesan

by Pam on December 3, 2012

This meal was created at the request of my seven year old son. He wanted pasta in a marinara sauce with black olives, kalamata olives, and shrimp topped with Parmesan cheese. No other ingredients… just his favorites. He picked the galletti pasta because he thought it looked cool, thankfully, it was tasted good too. I’ve never used this type of marinara (Mario Batali) before but I am glad I did because it was really delicious & it made dinner very quick and easy. Great job to my son for creating this scrumptious creation! Simple food makes the best meals.

Clean the shrimp and remove the shell and de-vein if needed. Rinse with cold water then pat dry. Place the shrimp into a bowl and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the minced garlic then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste; toss to coat evenly. Place into the refrigerator for 30 minutes to let the flavors mingle.

Cook the pasta in salted water, per instructions. Drain. Pour the marinara into a sauce pan then add the black olives and kalamata olives; simmer until warmed through. Side Note: Don’t simmer the marinara with the olives for too long or the the sauce will become salty.

When the pasta has nearly finished cooking, heat the remaining olive oil into a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 3-4 minutes (depending on the size) then flip to cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until they are cooked through. Ladle some pasta into a bowl followed by a spoonful of the olive marinara sauce. Top with a few shrimp and some shaved Parmesan cheese and parsley. Serve. Enjoy.
