Welcome To...

That's right people... I'm dedicating this week to one of my favorite things.

As many of you know I absolutely love this dressing and the folks at the Gazebo Room company were nice enough to send me a hefty supply to give away to many of you!

SO! The plan this week is to show you some of the ways that I use this dressing to feed myself and my family with some fun giveaways and downloadable recipes along the way! Sound good?

GOOD!

Ok... first up. I thought I'd start out pretty straight forward and share my "go-to" grilled chicken salad with you. Clark and I eat this year-round - but especially in the summer, when it's grillin' season. In fact, last night when we were enjoying them, he said, "Ya know, I bet this salad could win some kind of contest - it's that good." It IS that good... but that's not because of anything I do. It's all the Greek dressing people - just trust.

First get your grill nice and hot... and season some chicken breasts with lemon pepper and slice two big slabs of vidalia onion. (I'm making two big salads - so you'll want one thick slice of sweet onion for each serving - unless they are like my dad and can't stand even the sight of them!)

 


Next - gather up some romaine and whatever veggies your family likes - I recommend the following on this salad...

tomato

cucumber

carrot

celery

Although I did not have all of these on hand. Which figures.

I'd also recommend...

cheddar cheese

croutons

Ok - assemble that part... then check on your grill...

This is just after turning it around 7-8 minutes.  Looking GORGE.

Once the chicken and onion is finished... let it rest about 5 minutes before slicing it thin. I think it just makes the breast more tender and juicy.

Then place it all on top of your beautifully crafted salad and top generously with Gazebo room.

Now that's a salad that the baby and I can handle! You better believe I ate every last morsel of it!

Here's the recipe:

You can download it HERE 

So - GIVEAWAYS... I'm just gonna set up this challenge to all of you for the week....

I'm a blogger - my purpose here is to share the love - whether it's scrapbooking, or jewelry, or family mania, or cooking - or photography

And thus, I hope that you wanna share the love with the people you know too.

Basically, I'm always looking for new readers! So!

Here's the deal... Leave me a comment and tell me the first name and last initial of someone you are going to send to the blog - then if THEY stop by and leave a comment, I'll send you a bottle. If you get more than one new person to come and leave a comment - you'll get more than one bottle. Ya dig?

I'm gonna keep this up until the stash that the kind folks (hi Steve!) at Gazebo room sent me is gone! K? Just make sure that when you leave your comment - you fill in your email address so I can reach you!

And be sure to check your local grocery store for this wonderful nectar of the Gods... And if you can't find it - click HERE to order a case of your very own. When we lived in MI - this is the route I had to take!!!!
