Honey Cilantro Dressing

I've never really been a huge fan of salad dressings. Probably because I've never been a huge fan of salads until recently. The bottles of salad dressing you get at the store are just pumped up with a bunch of ridiculous ingredients, such as sugar and salt. Why do I want sugar and salt in my salad dressing? Okay, some homemade salad dressings do call for sugar and salt, but I want to be in control of how much goes in my dressing.

This is my new love. Homemade salad dressings. They even make me have a deep love for salad. Sometimes.

This salad dressing is filled with great things. Things that make my taste buds do crazy things because they are so delighted to be covered in this nice salad dressing. I think I've shared too much.

Feta Dip with a kick

 Looking for a nice party pleaser or a cheese dip to eat throughout the week? I really wasn't, but I stumbled across this recipe and immediately wanted to try it. I knew my folks would like it since the jalepenos gave it a little bit of a kick, perhaps more than just your average cheese dip. The crumbled feta gives it a nice texture in your mouth and the garlic and lemon zest really gives it a nice flavor.
