Herby Greek Yogurt Ranch (from Pizza Night), Buffalo Cauliflower, Fudgy Brownies & More Favorite Recipes For Super Bowl Weekend
|
Hello, Friends. Earlier this week, perhaps with Super Bowl menu planning on the brain, I made the Greek yogurt ranch dressing from Pizza Night, which I love on a wedge salad and which my children love for dipping their veggies in. I have plenty left over for Sunday evening, which is nice because I'll be spending the weekend in the North Country for hockey and won't return until the Super Bowl is just kicking off. Being away for the bulk of the weekend unfortunately doesn't get me off the hook for the game day menu, which my children are so looking forward to. I've promised them stromboli, chips and guacamole, veggies and ranch (recipe below), and rich fudgy brownies for dessert. If time permits, I'll make a batch of this Buffalo cauliflower, which I find irresistible and which I think the kids might finally be into β feels like a good weekend to find out! Here's the Greek Yogurt Ranch Dressing recipe from Pizza Night ππ₯ Find more of my favorite game day/entertaining/crowd-pleasing recipes below πππ Greek Yogurt Ranch Makes 1Β½ cups
In a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, honey, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Whisk in the dill, chives, and scallions. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of the water. Taste and adjust with more salt and/or pepper. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons water to thin the dressing if needed. Store in the fridge for up to 1 week. Review of the Week

Hi. I'm Ali.

Friends, good morning. As I type, snow is falling, the third time this week, and while I should not at all be surprised having lived in Upstate New York for a decade now, it's still, well, I don't know: disappointing? What is not disappointing is discovering that my favorite baked steel cut oatmeal can be made eggless (pictured above). As most of you know, I don't avoid eggs, but I often receive questions about replacing them in recipes, historically for allergy reasons but more recently for...
Friends, hello. This hot cross bun recipe has lived on my site for years and as with many of my bread recipes, it has been tweaked numerous times. When I made the buns last year, I remember thinking they were a little too sweet and dense, and while my family still devoured them, I couldn't help but tweak them one last time. In sum: I've reduced the sugar from 1/2 cup to 1/3 cup (gram measurements, of course, are included). I've added the zest of one clementine (or orange) and then,...
Friends, hello. A few weeks ago, I revisited Jim Lahey's N0-Knead Bread Recipe. It was the 5th recipe I ever blogged about it, and in the nearly 20 years of making it, I hadn't strayed from the original recipe. But something I've been doing with nearly all of my bread and pizza dough recipes since writing Pizza Night is this: 30 to 60 minutes after mixing the dough (a period that allows the gluten to relax and the flour to fully hydrate), I perform one set of stretches and folds. It doesn't...
