Cathy’s Italian Salad Dressing

1/4 C freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/8  C  water
2/3 C olive oil

Dry herbs / spices

¼ tsp. garlic powder
¼ tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
¼ tsp salt (salt to taste)
1 tbs. dry parsley


For fresh Herbs:

1 clove of garlic grated
1 tsp. fresh grated onion

I usually use the Good Seasons cruet with the pre-measured markings on the bottle. You can’t go wrong with the proportions.

Mid-Eastern Lemon Rice:
==================================================
2 cups of cooked rice cooled & set aside (I’ve never made it with quick-cooking rice)
= 1 cup rice
= 2 cups of water
= 1 tbsp of oil
=  salt if desired (I prefer to add salt to the cooking of the rice)
Place oil in saucepan; heat on Med. Temp.
Add rice & sauté for about 3 minutes on Med. heat till rice becomes opaque but not brown.
Add water till boiling. Stir slightly & cover. Reduce heat to low boil for 10 minutes.
Shut off & set aside for 10 minutes.
When done, remove lid to cool.
==================================================
= 2 tbsp oil
= 1 onion chopped
= 2 cloves of garlic chopped (or more if you like)
= 1 bunch of scallions chopped
= ½ cup dry roasted peanuts
= ½ bunch of fresh parsley finely chopped
= 1 lemon: wash & grate the rind for the ‘zest’
                : cut in half & squeeze fresh lemon juice
= salt & pepper to taste if desired


Add oil in pan. Heat on Med. Temp. Sauté onions & garlic till tender.
Add scallions. Sauté till tender.
Add 2 cups of cooled rice. Stir fry till hot stirring gently
Add nuts & parsley. Stir gently.
Turn off heat.
Add lemon & zest. Stir gently.
Serve.

Almonds or pine nuts make good substitutes for peanuts. Good without nuts too!
Gluten Free. Hope you enjoy.

Here's a quick, delicious summertime treat for the recipe file. I always get requests for them.

Brownie Ice Cream Sandwiches

1 box of brownie mix for 13 x 9 pan
2 eggs
1/2 c oil
1/4 c water

 ice cream - approx 1 quart mint chocolate chip is great or your favorite flavor

    Prepare brownies according to directions for fudgy, not cake like brownies, using the eggs, oil & water. Be sure not to overcook them. Cool. While cooling let ice cream sit at room temperature to soften. Cut brownies in half so you have 2 - 61/2 x 9 pieces . Place approx 20" plastic wrap on flat surface & place 1 piece of brownie on it.  Spoon ice cream all over top. Place 2nd piece of top. Wrap plastic around, use 2nd piece if necessary, pressing down slightly. Freeze 1 hour, then cut into squares or rectangles. You can melt chocolate & drizzle over top & add sprinkles too!

Enjoy!
