Wedge Salad












Wedge Salad

Very nice if your having a dinner party.

1 head of iceberg lettuce
1/2 cup of bacon (fry it real crisp and crumble)
1 diced tomato
1/2 medium red onion diced
1/2 cucumber diced
Balsamic Vinegar

Most people have this with blue cheese dressing, but I like ranch.  You can use any type of dressing

Make sure you squeeze the iceberg lettuce pick one that's real firm.  Remove top layer and cut into 4 wedges.  You can dice the red onions, cucumbers and tomato ahead of time.  The bacon can also be done ahead of time.  I like all my veggies dices neatly and small.

Chill small dishes in freezer for about 15 minutes or longer.

Pour about 1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar on plate and place wedge directly on top.
Pour a generous amount of salad dressing on lettuce and then nicely spread cut up veggies on top, add crumbled bacon.  This is so easy and good.  When you start getting to the middle of the wedge that has very little dressing some dressing drips down and gets mixed with the balsamic.  Delicious!

Quick and Easy Mozzarella Chees Sticks












Quick and easy mozzarella cheese sticks

1 bag of string cheese (individually wrapped)
1 package of spring roll wrappers (if to big cut down)
oil for frying
Marinara sauce

Wrap each cheese stick with a spring roll wrapper.  You can cut wrapper in 2 pieces depending on the size you buy.  Heat up the oil in a heavy sauce pan, drop only a few at a time in the oil, otherwise they don't fry properly.  When brown remove with a slotted spoon, if you leave the cheese stick to long in the oil the cheese will start oozing out.

Serve with marinara sauce.
