This recipe works great as a buttermilk ranch salad dressing or as a ranch dip for veggies and Buffalo Chicken Wings. If you love the flavor of restaurant ranch, this homemade ranch dressing is a must-try. This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy. Buttermilk Ranch Dressing Recipe Over the years we’ve bought MANY brands of ranch dressing, but few have been kid-approved. The only one that my little ranch connoisseurs actually liked had some pretty awful ingredients in it, and I couldn’t bring myself to buy it again....
Honey Roasted Butternut Squash What goes great with a nice big turkey dinner? I say butternut squash. This healthy fruit pairs perfectly with many meals and tends to be a Thanksgiving favorite. After all, Summer and Fall are harvest time for winter squash so now is the best time to pick up a nice fresh one. Just in case you were wondering, most people consider squash a vegetable, but it is botanically a fruit, because it produces seeds....
This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy. Happy Easter! Easter is probably THE most important holiday that Christians celebrate. It’s not about the commercialized bunny, or the eggs, although those traditions can be fun. It’s so important to us that our family understands Easter is about Jesus Christ’s death, burial and resurrection through which he paid the penalty for sin so everyone who believes in Him has eternal life with Him....
To help prevent spoilage, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice to your apples (which contains vitamin C). It’s not 100% necessary, though, as long as you transfer the frozen apples to an airtight container after the initial freezing process. What is the Best Way to Freeze Apples? Here’s how to freeze apples: Step 1: Slice & Core the Apples You don’t have to peel apples before freezing them, but you can if you want to....
Other than the avocados, all you’ll need is parchment paper, a flat surface that you can transfer to your freezer (like a sheet pan, plate, or glass storage dish), and an airtight storage container for later. How to Freeze Them You can freeze avocados in just 3 simple steps. Peel & cut the avocado. I like to cut the avocado into 4 quarters for easy measuring later. (Most smoothie recipes call for only 1/4 of an avocado, and it’s easy to grab 4 quarters if you need a whole avocado, too....
What is tahini made of? Just like peanut butter is made from ground peanuts and almond butter is made from ground almonds, tahini is made from ground sesame seeds. No added oil is required! Benefits of sesame seeds Since tahini is simply a paste made from ground sesame seeds, it should have the same health benefits as the seeds themselves. Check out the possible benefits below! Tahini may help to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels, which are considered risk factors for heart disease....
What’s in a name, you ask? When it comes to the Hungry Man’s Pizza, the name says it all. This pizza doesn’t do subtle, it doesn’t do minimalistic, and it certainly doesn’t do “light.” Think of it as the extroverted cousin of your standard Margherita; it’s the pie that shows up to the family reunion in a Hawaiian shirt, ready to turn things up a notch. This is the pizza for those who think a simple pepperoni and cheese combo is child’s play....

How to Cook Pasta in the Instant Pot To cook pasta in a pressure cooker, you’ll combine the dry pasta and water, and a little salt for flavor. Then you’ll cook the pasta at high pressure and allow the pressure to release naturally, using the cooking times listed lower in this post. I make pasta in the Instant Pot a little differently than most other recipes I’ve seen online, because I don’t believe you should ever perform a “quick release” on starchy ingredients that create foam in your pressure cooker....

What Does Jackfruit Meat Taste Like? Jackfruit has a relatively neutral taste, absorbing the flavors of what you cook it with. Because jackfruit is often canned in brine, it can have an acidic or salty taste that I usually try to rinse off before using it in recipes. Texture-wise, jackfruit reminds me of a cross between canned artichoke hearts and pineapple. When cooked in barbecue sauce, it reminds me of pulled pork, just not quite as chewy....
While I love my salads, I’m not one that goes out of her way to buy kale and make these “green goddess” salads. Nope that’s just not me. No matter how much people rave about how good kale is and how good it is for you, I kind of disagree because I’d rather eat bacon, let’s just put it that way. Now bacon I can rave about for days. But sometimes in your life, and I mean just sometimes, like once in your lifetime kind of thing, you come across a kale salad that makes you smile and think to yourself that yeah I can eat kale salad and enjoy it....
Spring is when we begin to see fresh asparagus popping up everywhere in our grocery stores or local farmers markets. Indeed, these lovely green spears are in season from February to June. Whether you like to stir fry, boil, or roast them like I did several days ago, it is important to know how to prep them efficiently. For years, I have snapped off the ends of each stalk of asparagus, a trick that I learned from an episode of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy (does anyone still remember that show?...
