Mommy Snack

 Here's a quick little snack for you, mommy or not. I call it "Mommy Snack" because it's what I eat during nap time. Everything is quiet except for my loud, joyous munching. You know, I like something special just for me, minus the sharp, whiny cries of my brood. Simple, healthy and delish...most important. Assemble and eat.

Mommy Snack Recipe

drizzle of honey or agave nectar

Enjoy your snack time a little better with this Mommy snack.

Herbaceous Buttermilk Dressing

This dressing could quite possibly be the nectar of the Salad Dressing Gods. Okay, maybe overstating a bit, but it's tangy, creamy, herby and addictive. What's not to love? Not to mention it's super simple to make. So dust off your blenders...



Herbaceous Buttermilk Dressing

prep time: 15 min. cook time: 0 minutes serves: 4

2/3 c. buttermilk
1/3 c. olive oil
4 tbls. red wine vinegar
4 tbls. mayo
handful of each: dill, parsley and basil
1 green onion
salt and pepper to taste

Place all ingredients in blender and blend. Note on buttermilk: if you do not have any handy, just take 1 c. milk and add 1 tbls. vinegar or lemon juice. Let it set 10 min. and presto! you've got buttermilk. Dressing keeps well in frig for 2-3 days.
