Ranch Mix (Finally) and Crepes for Dinner

For those of you who don't already know, I'm seriously in love with Ranch Dressing.  Forget ketchup, Ranch is what goes on fries & burgers & steaks & pretzels...etc.  I've made my ranch from hidden valley ranch since I was in High School because it's much better than the stuff in the bottle.  I'd been dying to make my own mix since I started this little experiment, but I had bought my mix at Sam's.  *pout*

Last time I made Ranch, I got to do so with my cultured buttermilk and I used the last of my Enormous bottle of mix.  This morning I mixed up Heavenly Homemaker's Mix with some mayo and buttermilk.  Much Yum!  Of course, there are plenty of mix recipes to be had online, but her recipes are always wonderful!

Also, we finally had our Meat-Free Monday on Monday.  We had Crepes Filled with Mushrooms, Spinach, and Fresh Mozzarella from the Sonoma Diet Cookbook.  I did the Sonoma Diet a while ago, and I must admit I thought it was the most reasonable, healthy and well-rounded diet I've ever done.  Anyways, the cookbook has a big, really delicious meat-free section.
