In the Kitchen With Molly
Need a hand in the kitchen? Molly can help.
From planning meals to putting them on the table, feeding a family is a big job. In the Kitchen With Molly is the next best thing to having a personal chef.
This new E-Book contains 12 weeks of menu plans, one for each month of the year, plus shopping lists and printable recipe cards. With the planning done for you, you'll have more time to spend enjoying your family or tackling other projects that need your attention.
And with Molly, the focus is always on frugality. These recipes not only save you time, but they also save you money. Trimming dollars from the grocery bill can add up to a significant difference in the family budget, and having meals planned means you'll eat out less often. That's good for your wallet and your waistline.

 I know it's not summer quite yet, but I am dreaming of coming in after a long, hot, sunny day and eating a cold, crisp, salad made from ingredients out of the garden. It's not only nutritious, but it also tastes great and saves you from turning on a hot oven after an already warm day.
Get your binders ready! You will want to print out these salad and salad dressing recipes to have on hand when your garden starts producing!

Basic Caesar Salad
Ingredients:
1 head of romaine lettuce
3/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 tablespoon dry mustard
1 clove crushed garlic
1 egg
1 lemon, juiced
black pepper to taste
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 (2-ounce) can anchovy fillets
1 1/2 cups garlic croutons
Directions:
- In a bowl, combine the oil, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, mustard, garlic, and lemon juice. Whisk the mixture until it is well blended.
- Coddle the egg by heating 3 cups of water to boiling. Drop in the egg (still in its shell) and let stand for 1 minute. Remove the egg from the water and let it cool. Once cooled, crack it open and whisk the egg into the dressing until it's thoroughly blended.
- Mash the desired amount of anchovies and mix them into the dressing. If desired set aside a few for garnish.
- Tear the lettuce leaves and place them in a large bowl. Pour dressing over the top and toss lightly. Add the grated cheese, garlic croutons, and ground pepper. Toss together and serve immediately!
