Years ago I discovered Rachael Ray on Food Network. I ADORED her show called 30 Minute Meals. I learned so so much about food and how to cook from watching her. (Thank you, Rachael!!!!). I was SHOCKED when I watched her make her own salad dressings!! I know, I know. That's ridiculous, I get it. But for some reason, I never even thought about salad dressing coming from anywhere except in a bottle from the grocery store!!! Since then, I've made many different types of salad dressings. It's so easy and inexpensive, too! Plus, they always taste WAY better!!! Today I want to share with y'all the BEST Creamy Southwest Salad Dressing. I could eat this by the spoonful!! No joke!! It's that good!!!! Don't believe me? Give it a try! And let me know what you think!!! Tonight we're having tacos for dinner and this dressing will go with just a simple side salad of lettuce and tomatoes. However, it'll also be really, really good with Chicken Taco Salad!! Here's what you need... Creamy Southwest Salad Dressing 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1/4 cup sour cream 2 T honey juice of 1 lime 1 T Apple Cider Vinegar 1/2 t salt 1/2 t black pepper 2 t cumin 1 t paprika 1 t Chipotle Chili Powder Directions are simple. Just measure everything out and mix together. Be sure and taste it to make sure it has the level of salt you like. This is so sooo delicious!! Mmmmm I can't wait for dinner tonight!!!

I've been promising a tutorial for my Saguaro Quilt for quite some time, and today I'm finally going to deliver! I actually had the idea for this cactus quilt rolling around in my head for several months before I put pencil to paper, and it was last October that I made my first block and posted it to Instagram. You can see more pictures of this quilt on my blog post HERE. These Saguaro blocks are a good way to make a dent in your green scraps. For more variety, I recommend swapping some 2.5" green squares with your friends! I'm SO grateful for my friends who donated their scraps when I made my quilt! Keep in mind that this isn't a quilt pattern...simply a tutorial, so you may have to do some figuring out on your own. But you're smart, so I'm sure it won't be a problem. I will give you measurements assuming that your seam allowance is a perfect scant 1/4" and all of your blocks measure a perfect 12.5"x 20.5" (unfinished). Please measure your completed blocks before cutting your sashing and borders. You may need to adjust the lengths to fit. FABRIC REQUIREMENTS FOR QUILT 3-1/2 yards PINK BACKGROUND Lots and lots of GREEN SCRAPS BLOCK CUTTING GUIDELINES Color Size 1 Block 12 Blocks Green 2.5" x 2.5" 30 360 1.5" x 1.5" 2 24 Pink 8.5" x 4.5" 1 12 6.5" x 4.5" 1 12 12.5" x 2.5" 1 12 10.5" x 2.5" 1 12 4.5" x 2.5" 1 12 2.5" x 2.5" 1 12 1.5" x 1.5" 2 24 1" x 1" 6 72 P/G HST 2.5" x 2.5" 2 24 P/G HST = Pink and Green Half Square Triangles.

Place the square on the corner of the fabric, right sides together. Stitch diagonally, press back to check for accuracy, then trim. The unfinished block measures 12.5" x 20.5". NOTE: You will need to make SEVEN blocks as diagrammed below, and FIVE that are opposite. You may notice that the 1' x 1" squares aren't added to the bottom of this saguaro. This was my prototype, so they were added later.
