Ranch Dip

May 13, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 17 Comments

Happy Mother’s Day!

Today I bring to you the simplest recipe ever.  It’s so easy and silly I am almost to embarrassed to show you, but sometimes things are so simple we don’t realize it.

This is my quick, healthy version to Ranch Dip!  First let me tell you, I love Ranch Dressing but I never buy it or order it because the calories are through the roof.  So today I finally got my ranch dip for 18 calories per 2 tablespoons.  Yup, 18 calories.  This is so simple, gosh I can’t believe I’m even posting this recipe.


I used 1 cup plain greek yogurt and 3 teaspoons of Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning.  You know the stuff in the packet?  Thats all!  This is a creamy dip that is so perfect for dipping your vegetables in.  I made this twice last week to take to work.  Makes for a great snack!!

I tried to make my own ranch dressing and it tasted ok, but honestly so far I like this one better.  It has that rich, creamy, thick taste that I like in a ranch.  If you wanted it to be more of a dressing, I would add milk, about 1 teaspoon at time.  Mix until it’s the consistency you like.  This dip lasts about 4 days in the refrigerator so it’s perfect for making ahead of time.

See what I mean about it being so simple and almost silly?  Either way I like it and wanted to share it with you.

    Sometimes simple is best! I’ve been using the Hidden Valley packet a lot lately in recipes, but haven’t made it into a dip in so long! I love the idea of using greek yogurt for the base 🙂

    i love making dip alternatives. If you have never tried “quark” try it. The nutritional values are incredible!

    I can’t believe you make this ranch dressing, I have been making this for about a year, I add Franks Hot Sauce and dip my chicken tenders in it, I also use low fat sour cream, great minds working together! Love You, Mom

    Thanks for posting! I love ranch but was scared away by the crazy amount of calories it had. This recipe looks like it keeps the taste but obviously gets rid of so many needless calories.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

Happy Tuesday! Today we have Gale force winds and Happy Tuesday! Today we have Gale force winds and rain. I’m still blown away by this crazy weather. It feels like it’s never going to end. I just hope everyone is safe.
🌿
I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
