Miranda's Kitchen Adventures

Happy 2014! A new year always brings so much excitement. The beginning of the year is a time for resolutions, recovering from the holidays, and focusing on healthier eating habits. I always strive for well-balanced meals and enjoy making dishes from scratch, and this Caesar dressing is no exception. I've wondered why I hadn't made this dressing sooner. Perhaps it was the anchovies or the raw egg typically called for in Caesar dressing recipes. After having Jacob, I developed an egg allergy, making it difficult to eat cooked eggs like scrambled, deviled, or quiche, though eggs in baked goods are fine.
