Lemon Poppyseed Dressing




It's all about the lemons lately. I can't get enough of them so I have been putting lemon in everything lately. This dressing is amazing and tastes delicious on EVERYTHING! I would probably put it on my toast in the morning if I could find a way to do it with out making the bread soggy. It's a very light and refreshing dressing, perfect for this time of year.

Here's what you will need:
2 lemons equaling about 1/3 - 1/2 cup lemon juice
1/4 c. olive oil
1/4 c. rice wine vinegar
1/4 c. sugar
2 tsp. poppyseeds
2 T. onion
1 clove garlic
lemon zest

Zest and juice lemons and add bottled lemon if needed. Put onion in a blender or grate with cheese grater and add the rest of the ingredients. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Aloha Shoyu Carne Asada

This is my sister-in-law Candy's recipe and it it amazing and really in-expensive. I bought the carne asada from Winco for about $8.50 but there was enough meat to freeze half for another meal. The Aloha Shoyu sauce was $2.50 and has enough sauce to make his marinade 3 times, and the rest of the ingredients are things I always have in my kitchen. Altogether, with a vegetable, rolls, meat and a little side pasta this meal only costs about $7.00 to feed my family of 6. Way cheap! Not to mention incredibly easy.
Here's what you'll need:

1/2 c. water
1 c. Aloha Shoyu Sauce (found near the soy sauce at the grocery store)
1 c. sugar
3 T. fresh minced garlic
2 T. ginger

Marinate for a few hours and grill.
