Buttermilk Ranch Dressing

After making some mayo, I thought we could use it to make some Buttermilk Ranch Dressing. I started with these two recipes, and then modified as I went. Making this dressing doesn't take long at all. In fact, it was quite fast compared to making mayo. The only thing that took me a while was tweaking the flavor. Sure, the initial attempt turned out decent enough, but I wanted to just tweak it a little bit. Then I started wondering " What if...." What if I tried a bit of lime? What if I added some mustard? What about some pepper? Do you do that too? Tell me I'm not the only one!

Note: If you're using dried herbs and flavorings, it might take a little longer to achieve your final flavor. I'd recommend letting the dressing sit in your refrigerator overnight to allow all the flavors time to come out and introduce themselves.

Roasted Beets and Carrots with Dill

Although James didn't like beets, he bought some, and so it became my job to make something tasty with them. Since I had not made roasted beets before, and roasting tends to make vegetables taste better, I thought I would give it a try to see if it might change what James thought about beets. I'm happy to report that it worked quite well! After trying this dish, James decided that beets were not only "not too bad" after all, but actually quite tasty! The sweetness of the beets and carrots played quite well against the dill. The basis of this recipe is of course, the beets, but they are made more tasty by roasting and then accented with dill. I also threw in some carrots since they're a bit sweet and provide some additional color. After that, all you have to do is throw in a bit of garlic for some punch, and you've got one quick, easy, and tasty dish.
