Avocado Ranch Dressing

Image
                                       Avocados are a delicious addition to ranch dressing to really bring out the flavors.  I love being able to make as many things from scratch that I can.  I love ranch dressing on my salads but it seems like the store bought salad dressings expire before I use them up.  I am so glad I found this recipe so now I can whip up a batch whenever I need to.  Plus it is much healthier to make at home without all those preservatives and extra additives.  The avocado flavor in this recipes is very mild and the dressing only has a very slight greenish tint to it.   I really love avocados so I usually use the whole avocado when I make this.                                                 __________________________________   Click here for Printable Recipe

Crustless Spinach Quiche

Image
This delicious protein-filled quiche is super easy to make and I promise you won't even miss the crust!  Packed with nutritious spinach and eggs, this is very low in carbs but high in protein. Even my son who is not crazy about spinach loves this!   I like to prepare this on Sundays to have handy to warm up for a quick breakfast during the week.  This also makes an elegant breakfast to serve for guests along with some fresh fruit or sausage links.  In a large bowl, combine eggs, cheese, salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft. Stir in spinach and continue cooking until excess moisture has evaporated. Combine the spinach mixture into the egg and cheese mixture. Pour this into a greased 9 inch pie plate.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.  Let cool 10 minutes before serving.                                           ________________________________________ Printable Recipe  Ingredients
