Roasted Garlic Buttermilk Ranch
I love developing salad dressing recipes. It’s such a serious upgrade to your home cooking when you switch from buying dressing from the grocery store to whipping up vinaigrettes at home. But, until now, I hadn’t ever tried to recreate the king of all salad dressings – Ranch. If you love ranch dressing, you’ll love my upgraded Roasted Garlic Buttermilk Ranch as a wholesome, customizable alternative to store bought. I don’t always make copycat recipes, but you know I’ll still need to put my own twist on it, and the roasted garlic really bumps this dressing up to the next level.

Sweet and Sour Pickled Cantaloupe
I find cantaloupe to be an extremely polarizing fruit. For some, like my brother, cantaloupe is one of their favorites. For others, its the fruit they leave for last when eating fruit salad. As for me? When cantaloupe is ripe, I love it. It’s sweet and succulent, and it reminds me of summers as a kid when my mom would buy cantaloupes weekly and keep them cut up in the fridge. However, because cantaloupes continue to ripen even after they are picked, they can turn quickly if they’re not used immediately. That’s why I decided to try pickling the melon balls, and the results blew me away! The pickled cantaloupe was both sweet and sour, and they get better as they sit in the refrigerator.
Sure, pickling takes some time, but I think you’ll agree that the wait is worth it!
