[Applause] in welcome back dear friends when it comes to dressing dressing for a lettuce salad or a pasta salad there are dozens and dozens and dozens of options but making your own is almost always more delicious and you’re going to find out she’s been telling you for a while
Surprisingly easy here to share her SE dressing cheat is our foodie Queen give it up for the host of taste buds on Fox local Stephanie Hansen hello love hello now you said that homemade dressing is almost always better it just is better okay I’m just
It is like it’s the easiest thing to do and people don’t do it enough so let’s all just make salad dressing but before we do that I don’t mean to bring up a a sensitive topic with you but may I sure I’m sorry uh the audience and I would
Like to give you condolences I’m very sorry about Adele Uh and you’re Adele your Adele tickets but she’s going to give you a refund love she is uh okay when and will she also schedule my hotel and give me a refund for that and a refund for my airfare and oh wait they
Don’t give you a refund for your tickets they let you schedule it some other time well that’s a whole another trip I have to plan I yeah I should be more sensitive but I’m feeling a little salty so um so back to dressing um yeah it’s it’s a lot this morning Jeff
Make a note don’t ever let me go off script with okay thank you yeah um why do you call this a cheat though all jok aside okay so this is from the heavy table newsletter by an author named uh John Garland who’s a friend and I read
This and I was like oh this is brilliant because a lot of people don’t want to deal with raw eggs when making Caesar dressing it just kind of creeps them out they also maybe don’t love the whole Antro CH thing so I’m just going to show
You a few like ways around that because you made a version of this on our show a couple weeks ago and the ano you know what it is it’s seeing the sausage being made it did freak me out a little bit and I have a great Caesar dressing with
The eggs and everything on my website it’s Curts it’s my husbands it’s famous everybody loves it but I’m just going to show you something different because I liked that it was just different okay let’s do it I’m very cuz I like a good Caesar dressing so the recipe calls for
Three and chovies and mashing them with salt in a bowl to get a paste okay now I would do that cuz I love anchovies but you can have this paste oh God are you that creeped out I honestly don’t know what’s worse seeing the fish
Or the fish paste coming out of a tube I I Eric Eric take a shot of that okay and to be fair to be fair that was not in John’s recipe that’s just my way because a lot of people don’t want to touch the anchovies okay so I’m just helping you get your
Own dressing onto the table so we’re going to do stop with your face we’re going to do four tablespoons or excuse me four garlic cloves okay we’re just microplaning them okay again get a microp planer it’s a handsome hack one of the best things you can have in a
Kitchen drawer a little wor toer saw okay oh also if you don’t like anchovies you can use Capers apparently instead of instead of brown toothpaste yeah yes okay okay three tablespoons of Dijon mustard okay you’ve got the juice of half of a lemon okay and don’t even tell
Me I’m not juicing right cuz I already went through that whole thing with you guys about why I juice it like I do Leo take camera 7even really quickly please she is sirly today that’s right I probably am I blame a okay 3/4 cup of mayonnaise okay and mayonnaise already has eggs in
It it’s already emulsified that’s the hack this particular mayonnaise has olive oil that’s what John recommends also we’re going to put a/4 cup of cheese and a lot of fresh black pepper a lot a lot okay I’m liking this so far even that especially cuz you’ve Now
Hidden that pace yeah you know yeah yeah so you don’t have to like touch the chovies they’re in the paste you don’t have to touch raw eggs and here’s your dressing it’s really simple it’s no but and I’m and I’m being honest what what what does the anchovies add is it
Is it like a oh my gosh everything really salt the Umami the flavor if you don’t have an anchovy in a caesar dressing you might as well just call it mayonnaise dressing really yes you have to have the anch it’s what makes the dressing and I’m legitimately asking they sassy yeah
Sorry am I look so bitter today literally there are little icicles coming out of your eyes to me yeah yeah okay sorry I didn’t realize that was so crabby okay but Capers you could use Capers instead of because you need that acid you need the brininess yeah so this
Is literally our dressing so I’m going to show you so this is dressing one number one one you’re going to have a Caesar salad okay okay so I love a Caesar toss that with my homemade croutons okay do you and by the way cuz I love your you have your crouton recipe
On your on your website right I think so I think you do I’ve seen ites yeah it’s really but homemade croutons to real good real good okay that’s idea one well let’s say you want a little protein this is idea two is to put some chicken in there okay but we’re
Going to get even better and this is I actually roasted this chicken but you could use r tiery chicken if you’re wanting to be fast this is just all about getting a little situation to your table yeah how about this now what this is idea three adding a little bit of
Pasta to your to really so with this one dressing from our friend John Garland at the heavy table we have just made three different variations I have never thought about adding pasta to your lettuce so delicious and Ian I’ve never seen that and if you have like leftover Caesar too
If you want to like add some pasta then you can use it the next day yeah it’s super delicious really satisfying very filling you’ve made your own dressing it’s not full of all the icky stuff and there you go Stephanie Hansen everybody crabby crabby Stephanie Hansen this is Stephanie’s phone your daughter

Rhonda hi Rhonda she says hey what is your favorite egg bake recipe for uh Easter brunch oh I have a lot on my website I’m just trying to think of what the best one is like a basic yeah the basic ingredients they I like one with breakfast sausage yes I like a Cheesy
Bre pudding kind of with the bread with the sausage with theegg soaking it up overnight then you cook it and it kind of puffs up a little bit uh that’s a great Savory egg bake the best I I like the ones that you do the night before
Those are that’s probably a general R that’s my favorite yeah because you want that egg to soak into the bread and that’s kind of what gives it a little bit of that bread pudding lift yeah there’s also sweet bread puddings that can be good that end up kind of like
Berries and french toast I think I have one for lemon blueberry on my website that’s real good yeah I love I I love that combo Patricia is next hi Patricia she says hey Stephanie what is your favorite Easter Dessert okay I have a sassy answer but it is the coconut cake
That I make that I made on the Jason show last year we had a coconut cake competition and I won so of course that’s my answer I’m super competitive this coconut cake let me tell you this lives in the Legends of our show because it was my coconut cake which is really the
Uh hakalani coconut cake in Hawaii versus your cake Aaron Schwab was the deciding factor and she voted against me and uh and our friendship has never been the same since that day that’s right and he’s not at all bitter no Nancy is next and she she has another
Dessert question hey Stephanie do you have a great carrot cake recipe oh yeah I do it’s on my website but yeah what’s a secret to it uh I okay people have a lot of feelings about raisins I know I hate them like do you want raisins do
You not want raisins I go both ways but I do like raisins in a carrot cake cuz I think it needs a little bit of that extra fruit otherwise it’s just kind of dry so you do raisins in your I do and lots of carrots and shredding the
Carrots yeah I like carrot cake Also let’s just be honest about what what the secret to a carrot cake is cream cheese frosted I was just going to say that it is the delicious frosting it’s absolutely the secret forget the cake and you know what else
Like you can just do it in like a 9×13 pan or you can do it in a 9 in round you don’t have to like do all the layers if you’re feeling kind of a little lazy and you just want it to be easier as long as
You put that dressing on there you’re good yeah Pat is next she has a baking question hi Pat she goes hey Stephanie I made a cranberry bread with fresh cranberries and it got moldy quickly should have uh should I have used Craisins well probably not only because
It’s not going to be as good cuz cranberry with whole cranberries is going to be better but you may want to have like cut it in half and then froze half right away because those cranberries have a lot of moisture so that’s what’s creating the mold problem
But like a real cranberry versus a Crain and a bread there’s probably like a massive amount of difference yeah you want that good whole cranberry juice really quickly one more question from Lisa H she goes hey Stephanie do you have a health go-to recipe for salmon
Yes it’s super easy on papot which is just a fancy way of saying put it in parchment paper with a few lemons on it salt and pepper wrap it up and cook it low and slow in your oven at like 350 also I have a really great recipe that
Has Believe It or Not Go cheese on it oh and it’s super delicious you can put mustard as a topping and then you can put breadcrumbs I have a lot of salmon recipes I like [Applause] salmon I like orange ruffy we just going to I like toia we
