Pear Strawberry Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette and Sugared Nuts
I combined romaine lettuce, pears, strawberries and bacon.
Balsamic Vinaigrette
1/2 C olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
2 T balsamic vinegar
2 t Dijon mustard
I added about 1 t white sugar that is not in the original recipe
Whisk together and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Shake before serving.
Watson loved this salad! He practically ate the whole bowl and would have if we didn't stop him.
Easy Sugared Nuts
2/3 C walnut halves or pecans
1/4 C sugar
Mix nuts and sugar in a small skillet over medium heat until the sugar is melted. Stir to coat.
Spread on foil and let cool.
Break apart and eat or store in fridge or freezer.
Italian Bread
Really tasty but recipe way too long to type out.
Classic French Toast
8 slices firm white bread - such as the Italian Bread above
3 large eggs
1 C milk
1 t sugar
1 t vanilla extract
1/4 t salt
1/8 t cinnamon
Pinch of nutmeg
1 T oil
1 T melted butter
Preheat griddle to medium.
Trim the crusts off the bread - I didn't because the crusts were still soft.
In a bowl, beat the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla and salt. Add the cinnamon and nutmeg.
Combine the oil and butter and spread 2 tsp. on the surface of griddle. Dip bread in egg mixture and turn to coat evenly. Put on griddle, fry until bread is light brown on both sides. Spread additional oil/butter when needed. Serve hot! Our family needed to double this recipe.
Really, Really Good!
