  1. Help! How do you cook chicken breasts? We are “experimenting with meat,” and I feel a little lost now in my kitchen. : (

    Maybe this could be an ask Cafe J question?

    Have a great weekend!

  2. I will totally try this dressing. It is different, as you say, than the usual sweet dressings. As for the salad…it is a home run already!

  3. That salad sounds fabulous. I love the idea of the sun dried tomato dressing. Over here in England they don’t do salad dressings much and when they do it’s usually a vinaigrette. I have come to love them much more than the sweet salad dressings from home.
