Honey Dijon Dressing

 
My family loves Renee honey dijon dressing. We just can’t get enough of it. This time around, I was out of it and my son wanted that dressing with his salad. I searched online and found this recipe on Food Network. Alton Brown is my favourite chef on Food Network and if it’s his recipe, I would follow it in a heat beat. And it’s so easy. It’s perfect for salad dressing, dip and marinade.
 
Here’s how I made it.
 
Honey Dijon Dressing
Ingredients
5 tbsp honey
3 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp rice wine vinegar( I used white vinegar)
 
How to:
 
Easy. Mix all the ingredients in a bottle and use it.

I Am Back From An Awesome Vacation!

I was on a short vacation during Easter period.  Came back on 16th and got so swamped at work, couldn't even spare time to update my blog or visit anyone else's blogs. I am sure I have missed great posts which I will look at over the weekend. But for now, enjoy the pictures of the cruise we took!

We went to Southern Caribbean cruise on a beautiful Celebrity Summit. Had a blast..Time flew by as we were having so much fun. It's always difficult to get back to work, to get back to routine when the cruise ends. And that's the reality. You work hard, save money for vacations and come back to work to plan another vacation!

Here's where we went:

San Juan, PR to St.Croix, St.Kitts, Dominica, Grenada, St. Thomas
Enjoy some of the pictures of the islands we visited and the food we enjoyed on the ship.
