Greek Pasta Salad & Dressing
Fresh and tangy!! I’ve made this twice now. I didn’t like the dressing on my finger, but loved it on the pasta salad!! Next time I will add some finely crumbled feta cheese to it and let it sit a while. (Did this and it’s much better.) This would be very easy to make ahead […]
Potato & Leek Soup ~ Julia Child
Equal amounts of boiling potatoes and leeks. I used 3 leeks. Clean them WELL! You won’t believe how much mud and dirt live between the leaves. I used about 5 good sized potatoes. Cover with water and 1 TBSP salt. You are likely thinking this will not have any flavour. That’s what I thought. I […]
