Many things have occurred since my last post nearly two months ago. First and foremost my belly has taken off and is growing like no tomorrow. We are approximately three weeks from baby! YIKES! We have finished planting at my job so work is slowing down for a brief period I just have to get things together for my leave. I have eaten a lot! I am especially loving salads right now hence the recipe I will share today! Some other highlights include...
I ran/walked/waddled a 5k a few weeks ago at just shy of 8 months prego with my family it was a ball. I will say I was SORE the following day.
This occurred...She finished Pre-School. And as she likes to tell me regularly that she is now a kindergartner. No you aren't kid not until I drop you off in August! Some of these pics are from her Pre-School graduation/program.
Your not completely caught up but hey I get there! Now on to the food! Do you ever find yourself just throwing jars of jam/jelly away because there really isn't enough for a whole family breakfast or you end up throwing it out because you didn't use it quick enough well do I have a solution for you! A few weeks ago on a Sunday night I had some really nice berries in our fridge plus some fresh veggies and chicken that needed used. But I didn't have any dressing that I really liked, I was not going to the store either! Thus this was born!
Jam Jar Vinaigrette
Jam/Jelly of your choosing (I used mixed berry) you need just a couple of tablespoons
Couple squirts of Dijon Mustard
Apple Cider Vinegar (I used a couple of cap fulls)
Salt and Pepper to taste
EVOO
Using your Jam/Jelly Jar add in mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper. Put the lid back on and shake. Now stream in a few TBSP of EVOO put the lid back on and shake again. Check the consistency if its to thick add more vinegar or EVOO. Also taste as you make it to adjust your ingredients. If you need more sweetness just add a little honey! And viola! You have dressing and you have successfully cleaned out a jar in the fridge!
Ah, I'm so glad that you got the not so subtle hint! Haha!! Thank you for blogging! : )
