new salad vinaigrette - citrus

We discovered that the house we are living in as a citrus machine we can use. Man does it change our lives, buying 10 pounds of oranges a week at the farmers market. I will miss having a juicer when we move! Taking advantage of the machine before we move!

We made this with vegetables we had from the farmer's market--celery, onion, potatoes, carrots, one red, yellow, green pepper and kale. After the soup was done, I added Trader Joe's meatless meatballs and acini di pepe for Italian Wedding Soup.

We tried this one tonight with broccoli. The amount of cream and butter is a bit scary but oh, the end result is delicious!

spinach and artichoke bread budding

Experiment
Mixed these ingredients:
Lemon zest of one lemon
juice of one lemon
3 eggs
1/2 c half and half
1/2 c heavy cream
1c soy
five cups spinach
three small loafs italian bread
1/4 cup artichoke/garlic/dip
sprinkled mozzarella cheese

Results:
Either need more egg, more cheese, or less liquid next time-- ends up a little overly moist. The lemon is delightful and helps break up the richness of bread pudding. Would tweak and make again...
