Lemon Bread
By Rosemary from an Italian in My Kitchen As I was cleaning out my pantry, I found a bag of lemons I bought last week. I wanted to use them before they went rotten and had to be thrown away; I hate wasting food. I love lemonade, but I was 2 lemons short. I got on Pinterest and typed in lemon bread; I love a good quick bread. To my surprise, I found this yummy-looking glistening loaf of bread. Easy to make, good reviews, and I already has all the ingredients; I had to bake this bread. At midnight, I got my Kitchen Aid mixer out and started baking. I am so glad I found this recipe. This bread is AH-MAZE-ING! The bread is bursting with lemon flavor, yet it’s sweet and moist with the perfect texture. Then the lemon syrup brushed on top; OH MY GOSH! I wanted to make more so I could dip the bread in it like one would dip chicken nuggets in a sweet and sour sauce. The lemon syrup tastes like lemonade drizzled on top. This recipe is without a doubt getting added to my repertoire. The recipe is here. Don’t wait until you have extra lemons to make this bread, make it now! Oh, what if you sub the lemons for limes? What about oranges; there are so many yummy possibilities! Side note: Here is the original recipe. The second time I made this recipe, I didn’t have enough butter, so I used ½ cup of vegetable oil as a substitute and it worked perfectly. Summary

Hickory-Seasoned Salmon
With everything bagel-roasted cauliflower From Home Chef I love salmon! When I saw hickory-seasoned salmon on the Home Chef Menu, I knew I wanted it. When the FedEx van pulled up in front of my house, I had my shoes on and was out of the door faster than the delivery guy could get to my front porch. I knew he had my home chef delivery; not that I was tracking it or anything. Happy dancing my package to the kitchen table, I ripped the box open and went through all of the ingredients as I always do; cooking with new ingredients makes me happy. I ran across liquid smoke; I always wanted to use it but never have. When I looked at the ingredients for the hickory-seasoned salmon, I was so excited that I made that meal first. I’ll start with the cauliflower. Full of flavor and seasoned just like my favorite Einstein Bros. everything-bagel, I was in love. I WILL be looking for an everything-bagel seasoning mix to put on any vegetables I decide to roast soon. I love veggies, but the seasoning took cauliflower to a whole new level. Last but not least is this delicious salmon. Cooked perfectly and seasoned oh so well, this fish was the star of the dish. The thick hickory smoke flavor complimented with a hint of sweet, then topped with a tangy, herby vinaigrette made the fish soar. I will be making this recipe over and over again; tasty, simple, and healthy meets my criteria for a Dowell House staple! Summary
