A thought about Ranch Mix

You can buy the Hidden Valley Ranch Dip Mix at Walmart in the individual packets, but it is much cheaper to buy it at Sam's. At Sam's it is $6.87 for the 16 oz. bottle and lasts forever (200+ servings.) I can't remember right now if it is by the spices or buy the salad dressing, but if all else fails, ask. It will save you a ton of money (especially if you use it as frequently as I do!)

Grilled Ranch Chicken

This is a recipe for a marinade that originally came from my friend Maren. I think Maren cooks a lot of yummy things, and if I had to pick to eat at anyone else's house, she'd probably be at the top of the list. I hope she doesn't mind me sharing it, because it really is one of my favorites and I use it as a base for a ton of things I make. I increased the red wine vinegar from the original recipe, and here is my version:

• 1/2 c. Red Wine Vinegar
• 1/4 c. Olive Oil
• 2 tbsp. water
• 1 package Ranch Dressing

Whisk together red wine vinegar, olive oil, ranch, and water. Combine chicken breasts and marinade in a ziploc bag and place in the fridge at least two hours. (The longer the better.)

Grill!!
