Are You Dressing the Part?

The other day I wrote about how “dressing up” can have an impact about how we feel about ourselves and our confidence level as we go about doing our work. There are those of us who love our home businesses partly because we DON’T have to follow a dress code or dress up while we work. Still, I think it is important to take into consideration whether we are really dressing the part for the industry we work in, the job we do, and the people we meet—even if we are in business for ourselves. What are you trying to … Continue reading →

Homemade Holiday Gifts in a Bottle

In a previous blog I revealed that my best friend from Hawaii was forgoing her holiday baking and opting to prepare homemade salsas and a variety of dressings to give as holiday gifts. She’s done with the salsa and is now in full dressing mode. The following recipes are the ones she is using for the remainder of her holiday gifts.

Spago Salad Dressing

If you’ve ever had a really good salad—no, I mean a REALLY good salad, chances are it was delicious because of the dressing as much as the ingredients.

A dressing without enough olive oil can leave you puckering and reaching for your water. Here’s a delicious recipe I wrote down when Wolfgang Puck was hosting a cooking show on the Food … Continue reading →

So why make dressing from scratch? Because there are a few good recipes that are so yummy that they are worth the effort. These are my favorites, and I haven’t been able to find … Continue reading →
