Homemade Honey Mustard Dressing

Well, it's been a while, eh? We have been busy with moving, life, 2 toddlers.... etc. I wish I had more time for fun cooking/experimenting but that is just not the case lately. And I am ok with that season of life. It's a lovely season that my daughters' fill up beautifully.
So here's an easy salad dressing for your summer salads and a great easy meal idea. We love "Kitchen Sink Salads"- basically whatever you have on hand. Everything but the kitchen sink! :)
