Creamy Dressing – Page 2 – Weight Loss Diet Solutions

I’m so in love with this dinner. It’s making me feel nourished, satisfied and happy this evening. Half of the plate was covered in a mixed green salad with cauliflower, boiled egg, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, green onions, purple cabbage, chopped bacon and homemade croutons. I made another creamy dressing, which was so easy, it’s ridiculous that I haven’t made creamy dressings at home before.

I placed about 4 T mayonnaise in a small jar with 1/3 C milk, about 1/4 (or more to taste) salt, dill, garlic powder, and cayenne. Place lid on jar and shake. The result is a very thin and flavorful dressing. A little goes a long way.

The shrimp was tossed in cajun seasoning and cooked in the skillet with a little olive oil and butter. The sweet potatoes were tossed with about 1 T. leftover bacon grease, sea salt, garlic and cayenne. They were roasted at 425 degrees for 20 minutes. They were fantastic. I think I prefer savory sweet potatoes so much more than sweetened ones.

Oh! Thank you guys for the exercise recommendations here and on facebook today. I pulled out my resistance bands and did a lot of arm and leg work. I’m already starting to feel sore!

We’re experiencing some major wind and below zero temperatures tonight! Time to break out my quilt and boil water for a mug of tea.

What is your favorite way to prepare sweet potatoes?

I’m going to go ahead and congratulate myself again for prepping vegetables last night. It was late, I was tried and so ready for bed, but I convinced myself to cut up all the vegetables anyway. Thank you self. I was able to throw this salad together in about five minutes. Spinach, cherry tomatoes, red cabbage, green onions, cauliflower, monterey jack, cucumber, one egg and couple of pan-fried slices of polenta.

And then the dressing, oh the dressing. Let me just come clean once and for all: I’m a creamy dressing person. Blame it on my West Virginia upbringing if you will, but I love ranch dressing. That love runs deep. And while I do like the occasional homemade vingrette, my heart and soul truly wants creamy dressing. And because I don’t always have ranch on hand, this is a good thing, I decided to make something up.

Creamy Salsa Dressing

1 T sour cream, 1/2 T mayonnaise, and 2-3 T homemade salsa. Mix it up, toss it with your fixings and behold, a better alternative to ranch. I love it so much that I could dedicate myself to a salad every single day.

I also had a serving of trail mix for a snack. Trail mix is hilarious. Have you seen what a serving looks like?

This was my first time cooking with pre-made polenta and I really enjoyed the added texture and flavor in my salad. I have a whole polenta log left, any idea as to what I should make with it?
