I know I haven't shared it, but I have a kick-ass alfredo sauce...It's based on Olive Garden's, but I've tweaked it a bit. So lately I've been thinking of different flavors, recently I did an avacado version. Then we went to our favorite mexican restaurant here in town, Hacienda.

Hey Laura;D I like the addition of the ranch dressing with the salsa. I sometimes do that to mine just to jazz it up a bit. The slightly pink hue is pretty too. I would make this in a heart beat . Better yet you could ask me over and I would do the d...more
