by: Wolfmama |
1/2 pound thick-cut Irish bacon
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard |
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 pound prewashed baby salad greens |
Slice
bacon crosswise into 1/4-inch thick strips. Fry until crisp in a
heavy skillet; drain and set aside. In a pint jar with a lid,
whisk together vinegar, sugar, mustard, salt and pepper. Add oil;
cover and shake until combined. Divide the greens among 8
chilled salad plates; top with bacon. Shake dressing and drizzle
over salads. Serve immediately. Makes 8 servings.
Note: Irish bacon is now available in supermarkets across
the country. The wide meaty slices provide lots of flavor as a
salad topping. |

by: Wolfmama |
3 cups firm white bread
cubes
1/2 cup of raisins
3 large eggs
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 cups milk
1/2 cup Irish Cream liqueur
vanilla ice cream
ground cinnamon |
Generously butter a
2-quart baking dish or casserole. Combine bread and raisins in
the buttered dish. Whisk together eggs, sugar and salt in a
medium bowl. Gradually whisk in milk and liqueur. Drizzle over
bread cube mixture; wrap tightly and refrigerate until ready to
bake--several hours or overnight. At least 1 1/2 hours before
serving, preheat oven to 350°F. Uncover baking dish and place on
rimmed baking sheet. Bake pudding until golden brown and a knife
inserted into the center comes out clean (50 to 60 minutes). Set
aside to cool slightly before serving. To serve, divide pudding
among 8 bowls. Top with ice cream and sprinkle with cinnamon.
Makes 8 Servings
Note: This dessert is especially easy for entertaining
because you must assemble it ahead of time so it has time for
the custard mixture to soak into the bread. It can be baked just
before time to start main dish and served at room temperature |
