Blue Cheese Dressing and Wings

I have to share this recipe for Blue Cheese Dressing with you. Wade and Tricia and I love it. Tricia called last night at 8:30 and wanted to know if I had any left! She didn't come get it but we did have a little left :)
I have been making wings baked instead of fried.  We like them hope you do too.

Blue Cheese Dressing:

3/4 cup mayonnaise

½ cup sour cream

1/2 lemon, juiced

Pinch Seasoned Salt

1 teaspoon garlic powder

5 ounces blue cheese crumbles

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1 tablespoon buttermilk

Pinch black pepper

Mix all ingredients in a mixing bowl with whisk and store in jar with tight lid. I usually use a glass pint jar with a screw on top. I added a little more black pepper in the end....We like black pepper...... 

Kept refrigerated, the dressing will stay fresh in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.    If it last that long!!!

I made this dressing earlier this week and we love it. I made green salads with romaine lettuce and added fresh chopped avocado and croutons.  Delicious….

We also ate the dressing with oven baked chicken wings, they were delicious too.

 

Oven Baked Chicken Wings

Chicken Wing Pieces …..Allow about 5 to 6 wing pieces per person.

Olive oil to coat wings lightly

Salt and Pepper to cover

Morton’s Nature seasons to cover

Coat chicken wings with olive oil and seasonings cover and let stand for about 30 min. in refrigerator.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place in a glass rectangular baking dish large enough to hold a single layer of chicken wing pieces.  Bake in oven until browned flip and bake until till browned. The time will vary depending on how large the wings are and how many wings you have. Just get them crispy brown.  Serve with blue cheese dressing and sliced celery and carrots. 

You can add spicy wing sauce if you like just brown the wings as stated above and remove from oven coat with hot wing seasoning, ( We like Moore’s brand) and return to the oven for about 5 min.

Serve Hot……

Momma's Lemon Cheese Cake

There are several versions of this cake. Momma uses more lemon in her recipe than most recipes.
Momma usually uses a Duncan Hines butter recipe cake mix for the cake divided into 4- 9" cake pans and makes the icing as follows.

Lemon Cheese Icing

3 large or 4 medium to small lemons zested and squezzed
8 egg yolks
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 egg white

Seperate the eggs while they are cold.

Mix together lemon juice and zest, egg yolks, sugar and butter, and 1 egg white in large sauce pan. Cook over medium heat until thick enough to spread. Stir constantly do not leave it. This will probably take about 10 min.

Lay small strips of wax paper on cake plate where the edges of cake layers will lay to keep icing off plate. When cake has cooled and the icing has cooled to point where you can touch without being burned layer icing and cake. Ice sides of cake also. Let stand for an hour and remove wax paper. Store at room temperature in Cake Dome. Do not refrigerate.
