My first cooking experiences came out of the Betty Crocker cookbook. That big red piece of American culinary wisdom. I made waffles (many times), chocolate chip cookies, and even popovers out of there as a kid. They honestly were all great.
As I got older I suppose my tastes have changed a bit and I certainly have expanded my reach with other cookbooks but there is something very simple about the recipes created by this mythological woman and delicious. Here is one we use often.
5-Minute Poppy Seed Dressing
3/4 cup mayo
1/3 cup sugar (honey OK too)
2 T cider vinegar
2 t poppy seeds
Mix it all with a whisk and serve on salad! My favorite is my teriyaki chicken salad.
This is us. We have 6 kids and a dog between us and our life is never boring. I write a lot about family and food. In our home we believe that we should eat local as much as possible, make it yourself whenever you can and that building community starts with sharing a meal around the dinner table.
Happy Eating!
