Kiss my Lime-Dressing

Alright, so I know everyone kinda has a spin-off version of cilantro dressing.. just like the kind at the covetted Cafe Rio.. But, I have been using this recipe for years, and it has been okay.. But today I decided to do something a little different, and I couldn't believe how amazing it was!! We served it at the family dinner and it got mad reviews!!

Ingredients

1 pack (1oz) Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix

Just the packet, no need to worry about the directions on the back..

1 C mayo

1/2 C milk
1 lime-Or Lime juice.. which is was I use..
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1/2 C roughly chopped cilantro*
1/4 C green salsa
hot sauce-to taste

*side note- I am not overly crazy about cilantro.. I used barely any in my recipe, and I just did it to taste.

Alright, nothing too fancy.. I will however say that I have used different green salsa before but the

La Costena was by far the best I have used when it comes to this recipe!!

Alright, pull out your blender, or your bullet.. and empty your ranch packet in.. I know this sounds crazy but trust me.. I did it this way and it made the world of difference..

Add your milk, and blend until the ranch and milk look well blended and the milk has some bubbles.. or looks frothy.. if that's a worth... add your mayo, and your green salsa... and of course blend.. Now ad the garlic..

add lime and hot sauce to taste..

I tasted it after almost every ingredient.. I wanted that perfect blend.. Also, start with a little cilantro.. like not even one Tbs.. it's easier to add than to take away right?

Super easy, and always a favorite. Make sure you make it a couple of hours ahead so you can put it in the fridge to thicken..

Enjoy

Ritzy Pork Chops

Okay I love this recipe, and I promised I would post it for some of ladies, so enjoy it bleeps, and seriously it is like the best thing ever!

2 boneless pork chops (or skinless chicken breast) 1 Tbsp parsley flakes

1/2 cup plain yogurt or sour cream. (I use sour cream, much better.)

1/4 tsp. pepper 10 Ritz crackers

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese 1/2 can of cream of chicken

1 tsp. garlic powder 1/2 cup canned milk

Crush the crackers to make coarse crumbs. Mix crumbs with Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper. Pour mixture into zip-top bag or shallow dish. Dip chicken into sour cream(or yogurt) and then in crumb mixture to coat pork chops(or chicken). Place pork chops in baking pan. Bake at 425 for 50-60 minutes or until pork is crisp and golden brown. Mix soup and milk. Heat through and pour over pork.

Okay a few things... I never do the cream of chicken stuff. I just make gravy.. I like it better. Also I don't really cook the meat that long... I think it makes it too dry.. So just watch the meat, and check til it's cooked through. I love this dish. I hope you enjoy... Perhaps adding a few recipes every now and then might be a new thing. I love to cook, enjoy!
