Caesar salad Archives

Chicken Caesar Salads are perfect for packing for lunch or enjoying as a light dinner, especially when topped with this creamy, homemade Caesar dressing.

The other day a group of us were out to lunch. The kids were all ordering what they wanted as the moms fitzed and fudged, trying to pry their angels from their culinary comfort zones with more interesting suggestions in lieu of the standard kiddo fare of chicken nuggets, hot dogs and grilled cheese.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that. I mean, I’m a kid at heart too.

And then there’s my daughter. “I’d like a Caesar salad with chicken, please.” I almost had to pick up one mom’s jaw from the floor who could not believe my Smudge not only would eat something so avant garde, (really?) but to order it for herself without her mama coaxing her, too?

I love to freak the moms out that way. And apparently, so does my daughter.

Some lucky food bloggers are seeing their online blogs and recipes become real-life cookbooks.

Pam Anderson took the opposite route. See, Pam is actually a very, very accomplished recipe developer and cookbook author—starting her career as the Executive Editor of Cook’s Illustrated magazine, yeah, you know, THAT one!—and is a New York Times best-selling author of six cookbooks, is a Julia Child Award winner for her cookbook The Perfect Recipe, and is now adding even more prestige to her resumé with the release of the James Beard-nominated How to Cook Without a Book.

Obviously this talented lady knows how to talk food, which she does with her two lovely and driven daughters, Maggy and Sharon, at the popular food blog ThreeManyCooks.

Cook Without a Book was originally intended to be titled ‘Meatless Mondays’ with the purpose of drawing carnivores to the idea that going sans-meat once a week is an easy adjustment in prep and happiness for the palate.

Pam professes that she is not a full-time vegetarian but states, “Once you go this direction, you realize it really isn’t that hard, and is fully satisfying.” Her reason for writing the book? “I wanted to show people you don’t have to change your pantry that much, this cookbook is meant for mainstream America.”
