2 Yummy Recipes

I was watching the Food Network today, I love the Food Network. Anyway, I happened to watch Healthy Appetite with Ellie Kreiger and she made 2 yummy recipes that I thought I would try. I was watching her show a few weeks back and she made a Ranch Dressing that had less mayo and was healthier so I'm going to look for the recipe.
