House Vinaigrette

by Carrie on July 3, 2014

I’m not a huge salad person, but when I go I go all out. This salad was homemade dressing, apple slices, sugared nuts,  dried cranberries, blue cheese and spinach. YUM!

Homemade dressing is something I haven’t done much of, but it is so easy. I really need to try more. What is your favorite salad combo?

Sticky Buns

I use to love monkey bread, well I still do. But I don’t like all the prep, it takes longer then I have the patients for that early in the morning. When I saw this on pinterest I knew I had to try it. Maddy loves monkey bread and this was a great way for her to help as no knife involved.

Although this was faster and quicker it didn’t have the same great flavor as monkey bread, but definitely easier in a pinch.
