Caesar Salad Recipe

I love caesar dressing, but I'm not very fond of bottled dressings. This led me to making my own caesar dressing and it is just as good as the fancy restaurants. I don't put an egg or anchovies because to me that's just weird and it still tastes amazing! Needless to say, I usually always have a jar of this in my fridge. It's so easy and cheap to make! (Mainly because the ingredients are items that I already have)

Oh, and I tend to have an awful habit of not measuring things just putting it in according to taste. In other words, my measurements might be a tad off. I recommend tasting it and adding to your liking!

Ingredients:
Half of a Lemon (for the juice)
4 Cloves of Garlic, Chopped
1 Tablespoon of Dijon Mustard
1 Tablespoon of Worcestershire Sauce
2 Cups of Mayonnaise*
1/2 to 1 Cup of Parmesan
Dash of Pepper

*For a healthier version with less calories, exchange the mayonnaise for greek yogurt.

1. Add the Lemon Juice, Garlic, Dijon Mustard, and Worcestershire Sauce in the bowl. Mix with whisk. Add the Mayonnaise and mix again. Add the Parmesan, mix, and then taste. Ask yourself, "Does this taste like Caesar Dressing?" Then lastly, add the pepper.

I can't really tell you how long it lasts because this dressing seems to go fast. I may or may not put it on everything.... Anyways, there's my boyfriend cleaning the mason jar. He is not amused.

I love you guys.

So... One of my favorite times of the year is coming up...GAME OF THRONES TIME!!!!!
I'm stupidly obsessed with this show... to the point where I have read all the books, watched all of the behind the scenes, and borderline stalk George R.R. Martin. The third season is going to be epic. Words.cannot.express.my.excitement.


On that note: Here's the cupcakes my roommate and I made last year for the show's premiere.

We made these in three hours so they aren't either of our best works but Tara's came out ridiculously awesome (House of greyjoy: cracken, House of...Stannis bartheon: Stag in a fiery heart  and house of Targareon: 3 headed dragon) Mine weren't so awesome but I'm still learning and definitely not as skilled as Tara (House of Stark: direwolf, house of lannister: lion, and House of tully: fish over pond thing)

These cupcakes were a huge hit at the premiere party and this year were planning something more epic and with more time! Cant wait to show you guys!

P.s. Heres a picture of my adorable friends and soon to be roommates!

Tara, Clarissa, and I went dancing for a girls night! love them!!!


miss you always,

MEATLESS MEATLOAF!

Now the meatless meatloaf recipe. You might be asking yourself, "How is that possible?" Well I'm about to show you. I was a vegetarian for four years only recently did I start eating chicken (because the doctor told me I needed to eat it). Anyways, I still refuse to eat red meat and I've been making this recipe for years. I originally got the basis of the recipe from Morningstar Farms and then I got a little creative with it. This has easily become one of my favorite meals. So roll up your sleeves, it's time to get your hands dirty!

What you need:

-1 Package of Morningstar Grillers Original
-Cooking Spray
-1 Egg
-Handful of Chopped Yellow Onion
-1 Teaspoon of Paprika
-2 Tablespoons of Milk (or soy milk)
-3 Tablespoons of Worcestershire Sauce
-3/4 Cup of Dried Bread Crumbs
-Handful of Cheddar Cheese (or soy cheddar cheese)
-Ketchup



Directions:
1. Preheat oven at 375 degrees and spray the pan with cooking spray.
2. Heat up the Morningstar Grillers for 30 seconds (or however long it takes to get soft) in the microwave. Then use your hands to mush it together in a bowl.

(Looks gross, taste great!)

3. Add all the ingredients in the bowl except for the ketchup.

4. Mash all of it together with your hands.
5. Make it into an oval and put into the pan.

(Don't forget to grease the pan!!!!)

6. Top with ketchup.

(I like to lather a lot of ketchup on top :))

7. Bake for 40-50 Minutes, the bottom should be a little crispy. 

Voila! Enjoy.

Miss You, Always.
