Wedge Salad with Buttermilk Blue Cheese Dressing

Jackie Garvin — Sun, 30 Oct 2016 18:55:23 +0000

My husband is an iceberg lettuce fan. You’re not going to convince him to give it up for some of the more nutritional salad greens. I like a wide variety of greens including salad greens as well as cooked greens like collards, turnips and mustard. No, I didn’t accidentally leave out kale. It was on purpose. ...

Buttermilk Blue Cheese Dressing

Jackie Garvin — Thu, 15 Sep 2016 01:51:32 +0000

When it comes to cheese, the more pungent the better for me. That hasn’t always been the case. Either I acquired a taste or my taste buds dulled. All I know is that I love strong cheese now and it suits my taste with a most pleasant eating experience. Stilton? Bring it on. Roquefort? Yes,...

Buttermilk Ranch Dressing

Jackie Garvin — Thu, 21 Jul 2016 18:01:00 +0000

So, the story goes that this dressing was originally called Buttermilk Dressing. It was popular with cowboys on cattle drives because buttermilk was a common ingredient in Cookie’s chuck wagon. (in case you’re too young to remember the TV show Rawhide, Cookie is what they called the cook). The name morphed into Buttermilk Ranch or...

Creamy Honey Lime Salad Dressing

Jackie Garvin — Sat, 18 Jun 2016 00:04:45 +0000

Each time I go to the bank and take out a loan so I can afford to buy limes for the grocery store, I declare my intention to plant a lime tree in my backyard. Well, it hasn’t happened yet. But it will. I swannee, it will. I love to use limes in the kitchen....

Country Honey Mustard Salad Dressing

Jackie Garvin — Sun, 05 Jun 2016 17:43:08 +0000

I describe this as country because I use plain ol’, ordinary, everyday yellow mustard instead of the more commonly used Dijon mustard in this dressing. The variety of mustard available on the grocery store shelf is impressive. More often than not, I reach for yellow mustard. It’s dependable, familiar and versatile. Plus, it stands up...

French-style Salad Dressing

Jackie Garvin — Sun, 15 May 2016 23:17:02 +0000

Homemade French-Style Salad Dressing is mighty tasty and is made with ordinary ingredients. Make it once and you’ll wonder why you ever purchased commercially prepared. Frequently, my grandparents took us to a little restaurant after church near downtown Geneva, AL. It was a small restaurant that probably qualified for hole-in-wall status. The details of...

Luncheon with the Girls (Menu: Retro Department Store Lunch)

Jackie Garvin — Mon, 16 Jul 2012 01:34:57 +0000

Back in the day, it was common for department stores to have restaurants. Ladies would get dressed with their hats and gloves, shop in the morning, go to the restaurant for a Salad Plate and continue shopping in the afternoon. Mall food courts with chain eateries have all but eliminated unique department store restaurants. As...

Summer Berries (Recipes: Blackberry Lavender Vinegar and Vinaigrette)

Jackie Garvin — Fri, 06 Jul 2012 20:48:33 +0000

My love affair with my favorite summer berry, blackberry, is being fed a full course dinner this summer. The vines in my backyard generously yield daily harvests of the purplish-black fruit. A post by David Leite of Leite’s Culinaria for Chive Blossom Vinegar, inspired a use of my favorite summer berry for a flavored vinegar....

Plum Easy Vinegar Dressing (Balsamic Vinaigrette)

Jackie Garvin — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 16:37:19 +0000

Making vinaigrette dressings is so easy. Plus, you’re in control of the flavor and ingredient and I like making it up in small batches. I’m a fool about canning jars so I like to make mine in jars and shake them instead of whisking. I don’t measure anything. I just pour it in, shake...

Citrus Vinaigrette

Jackie Garvin — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 19:16:07 +0000

Citrus Vinaigrette My husband and I recently ate at the Citron Restaurant in the JW Marriott hotel in Orlando. The salad dressing on my salad was the best I had ever eaten. I didn’t have to do a heap of arm twisting to get the recipe, only a tiny bit. Of course, the chef’s...
