A NEW FAMILY FAVORITE....
Paying a little more attention to health lately, I have become a total food label reader and avoid extra "junk" that seems to get slipped into our food.  My family loves ranch dressing, so on a quest to discover a good recipe to make my own, I stumbled across a blog called Gwen's Nest who just happened to have a great recipe for ranch dressing mix that I thought I would share.  I ordered the ingredients from azurestandard.com, or you could probably buy them in bulk at your local health food store.  Enjoy!
