Recipes

SAVORY MORNING BAGEL SMEAR

  • 1/2 cup soft cream cheese
  • 2 strips of bacon (turkey)
  • chopped shallot
  • coarsely chopped salted pistachios(Obviously take the damn shell off)
  • pinch of curry
  • dash of black pepper (course ground of you got it)
  • fresh chopped chives

Coarse chop the bacon. Add everything to a mixing bowl except chives. Vigorously mix ingredients (It’s alright to shake your ass while doing so, I mean we’re making art here) add chives at the end of the stir, as to not break them down. Smear on a toasted bagel, I like to do it one bite at a time, and enjoy. KK

SUMMERTIME DRESSING

  • 1/2 cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Tablespoon of Stoneground Dijon(The coarse mustard seeds make the final product beautiful)
  • Light drizzle of honey to taste
  • A little chopped parsley
  • One chopped green onion
  • Fine chopped garlic(I don’t know how much freakin’ garlic you like… I’d put in three cloves, but I love garlic!!!)
  • Dash of course ground pepper
  • Dash of red pepper flakes
  • Pinch of course sea salt
  • Squeeze of lemon (Not too much)

Mix everything in a bowl, preferably with a quick whisk, or put in a jar and shake, high five yourself, and add to your favorite salad.

Also, double the the recipe and add to a cold pasta salad. (Corkscrew pasta, chopped carrots, bell peppers, celery, and sweet onions, salt and pepper… chilled in the fridge for an hour) then stir in the dressing and chill for another hour.

This is a great, light summertime hit! Mom always had a big bowl of this to refresh you in the summer. I’d always sprinkle a little Parmesan right on the top.

This also makes a really great backyard dipping sauce for Lemon Chicken off the grill. KK
