I just can't get enough of Ina Garten.  I got really hooked on her show in 2007 and it's gotten pretty creepy since then.  At first I was just watching the show with corresponding cookbook in hand taking notes on her technique.  Now I watch the show online and take print screens to try an identify certain brands she's using.  There is a lot of deceptive marketing out there to make labels look high end or imported, don't be fooled!  Let Ina do the research for you!  
 I need a "good" champagne vinegar and hope to find this one in my local specialty food store.

Calvados and apricot jam for the french apple tart I am dying to try.

I thought I would share a favorite recipe for buttermilk ranch dressing.  If you're still using bottled dressing your life is not complete!!  I recommend California olive oil (if only I could afford Olio Santo), Fage greek yogurt, and Duke's mayonnaise.

 We are trying to make the most of Spring veggies in our home....a homemade dressing makes all the difference!
