Homemade Ranch Dressing

{Homemade Ranch Dressing}

I've been making this Ranch Dressing for years.
It is so simple.  You follow the directions on the Hidden Valley Ranch (Buttermilk Recipe) packet.
1 Cup Buttermilk  1 Cup Real Mayonnaise  Packet of Hidden Valley. Mix. Chill. Serve.
*Warning*  This may allow you to become a Ranch Dressing Snob.
No other tastes the same. You have been warned.  :)
Hope you enjoy.
Blessings.

Wisk together 1 Cup Buttermilk, 1 Cup Mayonnaise. 1 pkg Hidden Valley Ranch (Buttermilk Recipe)

Chill 1-3 hours.  Serve with veggies, chips, pizza....what doesn't taste good with Ranch?


Homemade Ranch Dressing:

1 Cup Buttermilk
1 Cup Real Mayonnaise

Sweet and Savory Spanich Salad


Sweet and Savory Spinach Salad

We had family from out of state come to visit yesterday.
I am so blessed to have married into a wonderful family.
I always look forward to spending time with them.
All the cousins got to spend the whole day together and make memories that will last a lifetime.
For supper we ordered pizza and made a few sides and desserts to share.
Whenever I make this salad I usually get asked for the recipe.
It's SO simple and delicious!
Hope you enjoy.
