Strawberry Salad with Balsamic Dressing

June 26, 2014 by Kay Leave a Comment

Strawberry Salad with Balsamic Dressing has a little bit of everything; crispy lettuce, sweet strawberries, the crunch of pecans and a delicious dressing.

I remember years ago when a salad consisted of a wedge of lettuce and dressing, that was it. It was such a chore to eat because it was so bland. These days it’s fun to create new salads with many options for toppings.

My recipe for Strawberry Salad with Balsamic Dressing only has a few ingredients but has tons of flavor. I like the mix of greens and spinach in this recipe, they both can withhold the balsamic dressing.  Strawberries and balsamic dressing are the bomb.  I would have no problem eating just the strawberries draped in the balsamic dressing!

Enjoy!

Turtles Candy

December 10, 2013 by Kay Leave a Comment

Welcome to Day 2 of the Twelve Days of Christmas Treats. Today I am featuring candy, Turtles to be exact. Any type of Turtle dessert is always delicious…..Turtle Cheesecake, Turtle Sundae, Cookies, Pie to name a few. The combination of chocolate, caramel and pecans is so satisfying.

Turtles seems to be a classic Christmas Candy. For as far back as I can remember, I remember Turtles on the candy dish this time of the year. I never liked the idea of making turtles, it seemed a bit time consuming, I then ran across this recipe. You bake the pecans and caramels at a low temperature and the caramels melt over the pecans, then you spoon melted chocolate over the top, that’s it!

If you are looking for a gift for someone on your list; a hostess gift, a co-worker, a neighbor for example, you may want to consider making these turtles. Enjoy!

Because you don’t make the caramels into a sauce, these are best served at room temperature.
