Crispier French Fries
I was reading that if you soak your potatoes in cold sugar water at least 15 min. before frying that they turn out crispier. Sure enough it worked! If you like crispy fries you will have to try it!
Homemade Caesar Dressing
You will need:
1 Cup Real Mayo
1 Cup Milk
2 Tbs Cavender's Greek Seasoning
1 Tbs Red Wine Vinegar
1 Tbs Worcestershire Sauce
2 Tsp Louisiana Style Hot Sauce
1/4 Cup Graded Parmesan Cheese
Fresh Ground Pepper to taste
In a large bowl mix together the mayo and cavender's seasoning. Add in all the remaining ingredients and stir well.
I like to let the dressing set up for at least a couple of hours in the refrigerator so all the flavor and seasoning get to their full potential! Mix this with your favorite salad mix and my homemade croutons and you have yourself a really good fresh salad!
Homemade Croutons
You will need:
Leftover French Bread (or any old bread, you want it to be stale but not molded)
Olive Oil
Garlic Salt with Parsley or
Garlic Salt and Dried Parsley
Directions:
Preheat oven to 250
Chop the bread into the desired size of croutons you want.
In a large bowl drizzle with olive oil and toss until all the croutons are covered.
Sprinkle croutons with the garlic salt and parsley (you can add as much or as little as you want. It just depends on how much flavor you want them to have) toss until all croutons are covered.
Place on baking dish and bake for 30 min.
After the first 15 min. remove from oven and flip over the croutons so that each side gets baked evenly and then put back in the oven for the remaining 15 min.

Blue Cheese Stuffed Olives
I love olives! When I saw this today my mouth immediately started to water! I am going to try and make these sometime this week. I will let you know how it goes and any modifications that need to be made. Thank you Martha Stewart Magazine!
