Caesar Dressing with Greek Yogurt
Who doesn't want to learn how to make a homemade Caesar dressing that’s lightened up with Greek yogurt, skips the eggs, and can be ready to go in about 5 minutes? Talk about fast and delicious! INGREDIENTS: 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (I used non-fat) 1/2 cup freshly-grated Parmesan cheese 3-4 tablespoons milk 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 2 teaspoons anchovy paste 2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce 1 clove garlic, pressed or minced 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1/4 teaspoon

Homemade Broth-the do’s and dont’s.
I’m a HUGE fan of homemade broths. It saves money, there’s less waste and it is far healthier for you. I freeze my broth in one or two cup portions to use as a base or for making rice. Are you wondering what vegetables make good stock or broth and what ones should be left out? Check out this guide. I’ve even made it alphabetical to make it easy to find what you’re looking for. Acorn Squash The peels are great for stock, but the flesh is too starchy and should be left out
