Buttermilk Ranch Dressing (and a Bloggers Bake for Hope reminder!)

FACT:  I have a love/hate relationship with ranch dressing.  Why, you ask?

I love it because, well, it's just delicious.  Rich, creamy, tasty...

I hate it because it's not exactly that great for you.

So, I can feel a bit less guilty about it if I make it myself...right?  RIGHT?

Yeah, I'd say that's right.

And remember, today is the last day to bid on tasty treats for a great cause!  Head over to Bloggers Bake for Hope now and check out all the goodies that are being auctioned off.  And please, spread the word!
