Simple Fare, Fairly Simple

My kids LOVE ranch dressing. #1 son heated up some leftover pizza the other day and asked if we had any Ranch dressing to dip his pizza in.  Of course, I did. Then he said he wished the store bought stuff tasted like what you get in restaurants. Well..that's all I needed to get in the kitchen and make my own. Here you go.....#1 son and IT Guy both declared it a success!!
