31 Days of Pinterest: Day Twenty Four: Home Made Ranch Dressing
6:54 PM
Well, if I haven't mentioned it before, we have a Ranch-a-holic on our hands. Liam will dip literally ANYTHING in Ranch...
Carrots? .......yep
Pizza? .......of course
Chicken? .......why not
Gummy Bears? .......oh.... not so common is it? yep, he'll do it!
Apples? ......yes, sure!
Grapes? .......you betcha...
And I could go on and on....
So today's Pin was inspired by and found for... Liam! :)
Here's a common sight when we go out to eat, yep, that's RANCH!
For one canning jar full of delicious ranch dressing you'll need...
one packet dry Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix (I used the buttermilk kind)
one cup (2 individual containers) of Dannon Oikos plain greek yogurt
1/2 cup milk (the original recipe called for 1%, I used skim)
That lovely jar totals a calorie count of 205... for the WHOLE jar! And it's delicious!
Now... mine was a bit runny, especially since it's mostly used as a dip for the boy, so I would maybe delete a bit of the milk next time, but this was seriously good! He had two chicken legs for dinner tonight and picked them CLEAN, dipping each bite in ranch... ranch that's much healthier than any he's had before, AND eating two chicken legs which he's never done (He is VERY picky). That's a bonus for me!

What you should know about HIV
-HIV can NOT be spread through casual/household contact. HIV is not spread through hugging, kissing, shaking hands, sharing toys, sneezing, coughing, sharing food, sharing drinks, bathing, swimming or any other casual way. It has been proven that HIV and AIDS can only be spread through sexual contact, birth, breastfeeding and blood to blood contact (such as sharing needles).
- HIV is now considered a chronic but manageable disease. With treatment, people who are HIV+ can live indefinitely without developing AIDS and can live long and full lives.
- People who are HIV+ deserve to be treated with love, respect, support and acceptance as all people do.
Additional information on transmission of HIV can be found on the Center for Disease Control website: http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/resources

Little Did I Know
Little did I know that the road would be so rocky
Little did I know that the trip would take so long
Little did I know that my heart could hurt so much
Little did I know that God is never wrong
Little did I know that love could be so powerful
Little did I know that a dream so far could go
Little did I know that God would place the right ones
Little did I know that my heart, so large, could grow
Little did I know that a dream has it’s own timing
Little did I know that this day would finally come
Little did I know that four souls would be sent to guide me
Little did I know that they would choose to call me mom
But God knew all along and He had a plan to follow
God knew all along that my dream would soon come true
God knew all along that we five should be together
God knew all along that I’d share it all with you
