Weekly Recipe: September 10
This is just one of the things that was not actually made this week. Tuesday at 3:00 a.m. Alexander came down with a violent illness. Thursday afternoon, three more people had it. Friday and Saturday saw two more people down. We would appreciate your prayers.
Ranch Dressing
This is so simple and very inexpensive to make. Like most other bottled salad dressings, once you have made your own, you will wonder why you spend the money on the marked up, poor ingredients version. If you make your own buttermilk and/or mayonnaise, you will find it even less expensive.
2 cloves of garlic, mashed or crushed
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice
1/4 cup finely chopped herbs (I usually use parsley and chives)
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Mix all ingredients well. Serve or refrigerate immediately. That's it. Really.
