Olive Garden Italian Dressing

I love eatting out, especially at the Olive Garden. The one thing I like is their great tasting garden salad. The tangy Italian dressing is awesome.  It took me over a month of asking to get their famous Italian Dressing recipe.
Here it is for all  of you Olive Garden fans.


Pour this dressing on your salad  then toss lightly just before serving.
It seems to tast better if left sitting over night so the flavors can mingle.




 
1/2 cup white or red wine vinegar
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil or olive oil
1/4 cup light corn syrup
2 1/2 tablespoons grated Romano cheese
2 tablespoons dry pectin (used to thicken jelly)
2 tablespoons beaten egg or egg substitue
1 1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. lemon juice
1/2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic or 1 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
pinch of oregano
pinch of crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste

Combine all of the ingredients with a mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds -Or- in a blender on low speed for 30 seconds -Or- use a wand mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. Chill at least 1 hour.

Yes, there are a few carbs in this dressing but it's such a little amount
 we can't even count them.

Double Chocolate Brownies


If you have been craving dessert or something chocolate these brownies will
hit the spot. and satisfy that sweet craving. I sometimes eat one in the afternoon
for a snack. I also found that they are more filling if I add some sliced almonds or
 chopped pecans or walnuts to them before baking.
You can sprinkle the almonds on top before you bake or mix with the batter.
The pecans and walnuts are better mixed into the batter.

Ingredients

    * cooking spray
    * 1/4 cup butter
    * 2/3 cup sugar, granulated (see tip)
    * 1/2 cup water
    * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    * 1 cup flour, all-purpose
    * 1/4 cup cocoa powder, unsweetened
    * 1 teaspoon baking powder
    * 1/4 cup chocolate chips, semisweet miniature
    *  2 teaspoon sugar, powdered(see tip2)
    *  Pecans peices, chopped  walnuts, or sliced almonds(optional)

Preparation

 Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat the bottom of a 9x9x2-inch baking
pan with nonstick cooking spray, being careful not to coat sides of pan.

 In a medium saucepan, melt butter; remove from heat.
Stir in granulated sugar, the water, and vanilla.
Stir in flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder until combined.
Stir in chocolate pieces. (and nuts)
Pour batter into prepared pan.
