If I make a meal at home or go out for dinner I start off my meal with a salad. When time is plenty I like to make my own salad dressings. I usually will make this simple Italian dressing, not only because it is easy, but it keeps for a couple of days.
Simple Italian Dressing
2 cups olive oil
1 ½ cup balsamic vinegar
¾ cup sugar
5 Tablespoon oregano
5-6 T chopped/minced garlic
Few shakes of Italian seasoning
Put all the ingredients in a jar and shake well. Best made the night before.
During the summer most of our at home meals are grilled, or plates of light pasta dishes, like this one found here (if you haven't visited The Pioneer Woman, I highly recommend it) and of course lots and lots of vegetables.
This is a glimpse of our meal the other night. If you are wondering where is the fruit and why the extra starch. The fruit is in the bottle of the Pinot Grigio and the extra starch is to absorb the fruit!
My final staple of any meal I enjoy the most, is a table for two and a table shared with friends.
From my heart of the home to yours.
