We make a lot of salad in this house. I've always loved salad.... well, except when I was pregnant with Mimi. I couldn't even look at lettuce. Isn't that an odd food aversion?? Anyway, I'm always keeping an eye out for new salad dressings. Let's face it, oil and vinegar gets a bit boring after a while.... there's only so much you can do with it. I saw this recipe at Cookin' Up North and pinned it to try. We LOVE it. Very yummy, creamy, tangy, and full of flavor. I highly recommend you give it a try and also check out Cookin' Up North, it's packed full of great recipes.
And now I need some help from y'all. :) I've decided to squirrel away some money for a new camera. I've had my little camera for years and as much as I love it, I think it's time to step up a bit. I love photography, so it will be a good investment. I am definitely, without a doubt, buying a Canon. I have nothing against Nikon, but I've always owned a Canon and I'm familiar with them. But now I'm stuck between two different kinds. The Canon 60d and the Canon Rebel T3i. I'm leaning towards the T3i because it's cheaper.... but I'm undecided.
Any thoughts?
Does anyone own either camera and if so what do you think of it?
Houston's Buttermilk Garlic Dressing

*Note: I've never eaten at Houston's so I can't compare.

It looks great, can't wait to try it...HOpe Christmas was good and the children are doing well...Happy New Years my friends...with Love Janice
Elsa, Your dressing looks great! I always make my own dressing using a little mustard, flavored vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), and oil. I'm not good at the creamy dressing like this, so I appreciate your post. Camera - I got the 60D for Christmas! I absolutely love it. I'm a amateur married to a professional photographer (who picked out the camera), so I had a little help in getting started, but all in all it's a very easy camera to use and to learn to use. I'm not familiar with the T3i, so can't help you there. Happy New Year!
This is a great looking dressing.
Not familiar with either of the cameras that you mention, but I stepped up to my first serious camera about six months ago and bought the Canon EOS 550D which I am totally loving.
Best wishes for the New Year, and best of luck with whichever camera you choose.

I love homemade salad dressing and this one looks like a "keeper". My grandmother always made her own dressing and the texture is just so much richer than store bought. I can't wait to try this.
I am glad that my daughter also love salad, she would always ask to buy one for her btw my entry for FTF is up, Sahm’s Dining Diary, I hope you can visit too, thanks!
Great recipe! I love homemade salad dressings. Thank you for visiting my blog and for your kind words, I appreciate it. The name "Anwar" means "Light"!
Seasons Greetings and Best Wishes for the New Year!
Cheers
Hi Elsa,
I love Houstons and am happy to get his awesome recipe. I have a Canon but it is very old, I just pray that it hangs in there, because I would not have a clue what to look for. I have really enjoyed the feed back that you got from others. Thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday. Wishing you and your family a very Happy New Year and Abundant Blessings in 2012!

You know, I've never eaten at Houston's so I can't even compare. I've never even heard of the restaurant until now. But the dressing is yummy, so it must be a good place to eat. :)

This dressing sounds so delicious! Thank you for sharing it with the Gallery of Favorites. I'm so sorry I don't know much about Canon cameras - we have Nikons. I know they are both great brands though. Good luck with your decision!
