Homemade Greek Dressing

One of the easiest things to make homemade, in my opinion, is salad dressings. And they taste so much better then store bought. My husband likes to tweek recipes so this is his final recipe. It is SOOOO GOOD!

-2 fresh garlic cloves minced
-1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard (we use Grey Poupon)
-1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (we use BJ's brand)
-2 Tablespoons of fresh lemon juice (not bottled)
-1/2 teaspoon of sugar
-3 Tablespoons of red wine vinegar (My FIL makes it and it is STRONG)
-2 Tablespoons of white vinegar
-1/2 teaspoon of crushed dried basil (I grow a ton in the summer and dry it)
-1/4 teaspoon of oregano

Whisk all the ingredients together and let it sit at least 15 minutes. Shake well before pouring. Enjoy!




*I am on a low sodium diet so we do not add salt. If you would like to, then I recommend 1/4 teaspoon.

Oreo Got Hurt

Image
She is OK and that is the most important thing. We are not sure exactly what she did to herself but she started limping Monday night. I checked her paw to make sure there was nothing in it. Hubby and I decided to block the stairs and have her sleep on the first floor. She usually sleeps in our room. Hubby brought down her bed to the living room. In the middle of the night she did a loud yelp. You have to step on her for her to yelp so it was very strange. Hubby and I flew down the stairs to check on her. She was in pain and didn't want to put her foot down. We got her to lay down and I got ice on her leg. I wasn't sure if it was her paw, leg or shoulder. She finally went back to sleep and I did too.  YD is the first to get up and I heard her walking around. 2 minutes later Oreo let out another huge yelp. I ran down the stairs and she was in the kitchen. She had an accident on the floor and wanted to go outside. We have one little step out the back door and she had no prob...
