I've been asked to share my ranch dressing recipe. I don't have good measurements for this so hopefully I get it right. Mess with the seasonings if you need to.
1 cup real sour cream with just cream
1 cup best foods mayo (not lowfat)
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder or a clove of fresh garlic
1/2 tsp salt (add more later if needed)
1/8 tsp black pepper
1 TBSP Bubbies pickle juice
stir all together for a great dip (for veggies or chips) or thin with whole milk or water for a dressing. Tastes better the 2nd day after the flavors melde together.
I love the squeeze bottle of mayo and we clean it out, thin the dressing, and keep it in the bottle for easy access.

Veggie Dip or Salad Dressing
I have a variety of dips and dressings I make with just a few ingredients...here's what I use
sour cream (I use Daisy, the only ingredient is cream)
mayo (I use Best Foods regular)
Use either sour cream or mayo, or a blend of 1/2 and 1/2 of both.
about 1/2 tsp salt per cup of dip
1 tsp onion powder (not onion salt)
1 clove of garlic, minced or squished
1/2 tsp of dill
1/4 cup of blue cheese (made with whole milk or just milk, not lowfat)
I mix all or a few of these together. To thin for a dressing just add a little whole milk.
This will taste much better the next day as the flavors meld together. Add more salt the 2nd day if it needs it. Be creative, add your favorite spice.

Cranberry Sauce, Thanksgiving Dinner
I was searching for a picture of cranberry sauce and found this blog entry that has a step by step tutorial. They add juice to their sauce and it sounds like a yummy addition. I'm all about simple but these shouldn't take too much more time or money. Remember to use 100% juice and the frozen kind and you should be safe.

I usually just get a pot (bigger than you think in case of foaming) and dump in the bag of cranberries or about 4 cups if you have a large bag, add 2 cups of sugar and 1/4 cup of water to get it going. Then turn it on medium and let it do it's thing for about 30 minutes. That's it.
We buy 4 huge bags at the warehouse store when Thanksgiving comes along because I love to throw a handful of cranberries in my smoothies. They do wonders for the urinary system.
My dd uses this cranberry sauce as jam on EVERYTHING.
