Recipe: Orange Herb Dressing

I just tried this recipe from Clean Eating magazine. It's really good. I had it with leaf lettuce, mandarin oranges and sliced almonds but I think it would be good with almost any fruit and nut combo.

Orange Herb Dressing

2 tbsp fresh orange juice
2 tbsp white balsamic vinegar or apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh tarragon, minced, or 1/2 tsp dried tarragon
1/2 tbsp fresh oregano, minced, or 1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp orange zest
Sea salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Wisk ingredients together. Serve immediately or refrigerate until serving. Store in a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.

Enjoy!

How to make applesauce

Set slow cooker to low.

Cook for several hours to desired doneness (chunky to mushy.)

Eat.

Enjoy.

Really...that's it.

Hot Chocolate

I made this tonight and won't ever go back to instant hot chocolate. It's easy, tasty and satisfies my sweet tooth without being over the top rich.

In a glass measuring cup, heat up 1 cup of milk (I used skim) in the microwave until it gets to your preferred temperature.

In the cup you will be enjoying your hot chocolate from, mix 2 tbsp of hot water and 1 tbsp cocoa powder.

Add warm milk to cup and immediately add 1 tbsp of agave nectar. Mix and enjoy!
