As I mentioned in my previous pancake post, freezer jam makes a nice topping. And here's a nice little recipe for diabetes friendly strawberry freezer jam.

( It's pretty fast to make too, which is nice. )

Salad Dressings: Help Wanted

[stultiloquentia]

CSA season approacheth. In my corner of the world, this means weeks and weeks of bags and bags of leafy greens, with the odd rainbow carrot or Sputnik kohlrabi or fistful of herbs to liven things up. Glorious leafy greens! But. Bagses and bagses.

I need all your best salad dressing recipes. What's your household favourite? Easiest? Ooh-la-la-est? Best vinaigrette improv? Sing with me! (Tune of 'O Tannenbaum':) Eee-mulsify...emulsify...

French Onion Soup -- from scratch!

[silvercaladan]

 Now, don't be alarmed by the title of the entry. From scratch, you say! That always means the recipe is hard!

Never fear, the simple ingredient list will both please your budget and satiate your hunger. French onion soup is one of the staples around my house, as the recipe makes a lot (for when you can't cook tomorrow) and warms the belly. I know its summer, so warm things aren't always in demand, but when its rainy and gloomy outside, there's nothing better than a glass of wine and delicious, delicious soup.
