Ranch Dressing - Gluten and DAIRY Free

The Hub's Grandma made a fantastic "dilly dip" that was kind of renowned in the family.  Just so good! 

So finding a dairy free substitute only took me, oh, I don't know, 1,847 years!!!  

But, I hereby declare that the Hubs, the harshest critic on judging a substitute for his Grandma's recipe, absolutely LOVES this recipe.  He asks for it often.  

You won't be disappointed.  
 Ranch Dressing or Dip - Gluten and Dairy Free 
2 cups of safe mayo (use vegan for egg free) (Add more as needed to make it more of a dip than a dressing) 
1/2 c. rice milk 
1 3/4 tsp. distilled apple cider vinegar (or just distilled white vinegar) 
1 tsp. parsley 
1/8 tsp. dill 
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. onion powder 
1 1/2  tsp. dried chives 

Combine all ingredients and stir, or whisk, until well combined.  Make the day before for better flavors, as the spices meld. 

ENJOY!

Cinnamon Roll Chex Mix - Gluten and Dairy Free

Whenever LDS General Conference comes around, we like to join the rest of the LDS world and have cinnamon rolls. . . . alas, gluten-free-dairy-free-YEAST-free cinnamon rolls is not something I have attempted to conquer just yet. (But do plan to . . . some day.)  

But have no fear . . . this chex mix is the PERFECT substitute.  
My 9 year old son got tired of waiting for me to make it and made it himself which was super awesome!  (And also the reason it didn't get mixed quite as thoroughly as usual.)  
Cinnamon Roll Chex Mix - Gluten and Dairy Free 
16 cups of gluten free chex (we like corn and rice, or just corn)
1/2 c. of coconut oil 
3/4 c. sugar 
1 heaping Tbsp of cinnamon 

Pour chex into a large bowl.  Melt oil and stir into cereal, until it is evenly coated. Mix cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl then pour over cereal mixture. Gently stir with a spatula until even coated, then spread out to dry.  

So easy your kids can do it! 

Enjoy!
