Recipes in this category aren’t just about my cravings; they’re also inspired by family and friends. For example, Shelby’s Green Chicken Enchiladas were born from out of my girlfriend’s random craving for enchiladas. We made what we could with what was in my kitchen, and it just worked! And then there is my Dill Pickle Ranch Dressing, born from a shared love by multiple friends of pickles and ranch. It’s creamy, tangy, and perfect for salads or dipping.
