Amazing Caesar Salad

This is an easy Caesar salad (from my friend Melissa) that has loads of flavor!

Girard's Caesar Dressing
1-2 Lemon Wedges
1 Clove of Garlic, crushed
Head Romain Lettuce
Croutons
Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese

Mix crushed garlic with one cup salad dressing and let sit in the fridge for at least one hour. Once the lettuce has been washed and shredded squeeze a lemon wedge over it and toss to coat. Toss with dressing, croutons, and parmesan cheese. It is so flavorful and has a little bite with the garlic and lemon- which also makes the dressing taste like fresh, not bottled dressing.

Almond Citrus Slush

9 c water
4 c sugar
1 can frozen lemonade
1 can frozen orange juice
2 t vanilla
1 t almond extract (or a touch more if you love almond like I do)

Disolve sugar in water, then add remaining ingredients. Freeze to a slush and add to Sprite or Fresca. Keeps well in the freezer and makes the perfect party drink!
