Controversial take: Hidden Valley Ranch dressing s Controversial take: Hidden Valley Ranch dressing sucks. It’s too sweet and weirdly thick and not at all herby and we hate it. Based on this, you probably think we hate all ranch, but that’s not true. We actually love it! We love it on our pizza, as a dip for chicken wings or vegetables or even potato chips, and on our salads. And because we love ranch, we know that it can be so much better than the bottled stuff you find at the grocery store. If you’re like us and want to live in a world with the best, herb-forward ranch possible, you should make our Homemade Herby Ranch recipe. It’s savory, fresh, balanced, and stupidly easy to make (put everything in a container and blend it up). Plus, it’s not gross. Win-win! You’ll need: • Sour cream • Mayonnaise • Some milk • A little sugar • Lemon juice • Fresh herbs, like dill, parsley, and chives • Salt and pepper For the full recipe, search for “ranch dressing” on our website, https://cookingwithconks.com/. Or go here>> https://cookingwithconks.com/homemade-herby-ranch-dressing/ #ranchdressing #homemadedressing
Stuffed zucchini boats (AKA shipwrecks) 🛶 Zucc Stuffed zucchini boats (AKA shipwrecks) 🛶 Zucchini boats don’t have to be boring! We actually like to call these Turkey Taco Zucchini Boats “shipwrecks” because there’s so much delicious filling that it overflows the boats (which is a good thing when the filling tastes this amazing). If you’re gluten-free or just trying to eat fewer carbs, this is a great dinner option. The canoe-like zucchini are stuffed with turkey spiced with our taco seasoning and mixed with black beans, onions, and corn, and topped with melty cheese. This recipe makes 8 stuffed boats. Search for “zucchini boats” on our website to get the recipe or go here >> https://cookingwithconks.com/turkey-taco-zucchini-boats/
We may be biased, but we think this is the Best Ho We may be biased, but we think this is the Best Homemade Taco Seasoning. It’s tastier than store-bought and super easy to make! It has just the right balance of smoky, spicy, earthy, savory, and slightly sweet flavors. We love it so much that we always have a jar of it in our pantry. Add this seasoning to ground meat, plant-based meat, roasted potatoes, veggies, scrambled eggs, shrimp, etc. The possibilities are pretty much endless with this seasoning. Have fun with it! Search for “homemade taco seasoning” on our website, or go here directly>> https://cookingwithconks.com/best-homemade-taco-seasoning/ #tacoseasoning #taconight #spicemix #recipe
Quick and easy chicken recipe Make this Moroccan Quick and easy chicken recipe Make this Moroccan Inspired Spiced Chicken recipe for dinner this week! It’s quick, easy, and so good that you’ll definitely want to make it again and again. This recipe has 3 main ingredients: chicken thighs, lemons, and spices.

For the recipe, search for “Moroccan spiced chicken” on cookingwithconks.com, or go here: https://cookingwithconks.com/moroccan-inspired-spiced-chicken/ #chickenrecipes #onepanrecipe #spices

Like popcorn shrimp but in salad form! The combin Like popcorn shrimp but in salad form! The combination of flavors in this Shrimp Salad with Tartar Dressing is reminiscent of the popcorn shrimp with tartar sauce that you might get at a seaside restaurant. The shrimp are juicy and lemony, the dressing is creamy, herby, and has just the right amount of sweetness and tang, and the pan fried panko topping give this salad serious popcorn shrimp vibes.
