  1. I used 1 orange and half a Vidalia for a quick and economical salad for 1. Serve on a bed of mixed greens with some warm homemade bread and you have a nice light lunch. Thanks for a new favorite! Made and enjoyed for PAC Spring '09.
     
  2. My wife said "Your mixing what together?" After she tried it on some fresh spinach with our grilled peach glazed wild boar country ribs. "These are such a great compliment to each other." was her response. A definite "will repeat" recipe.
     
  3. This is great! Delicious combination. So simple and fast and the ingredients are nearly always on hand. I subbed Splenda for the powdered sugar and it worked just fine.

>I am a one time corporate pastry chef who has settled into a local bakery to ease out of a hectic career. I became disgusted by the advances in technology that allow any novice cook to be labeled a pastry chef. I don't do desserts at home, mainly main dish entrees with a healthy flare, for 2 people. I have a collection of over 200 cookbooks, but still find this site very interesting.</p> 8760543"
