Real Recipes made from Real Food

I spent a lot of time on the couch this weekend (one part self-induced, one part self-pity, one part common cold), which meant I watched the first two seasons of Daria and lazed around on Pinterest.

And of course, my hectic weekend schedule meant I just didn't have the time (and by time I mean energy) to make supper. Instead, I contributed by looking up recipes. On Pinterest. Yes, I am the best wife ever.

I'm sure many of you have seen my rants about this in one form or another, but I strongly believe they should have a certain vetting process for recipes on Pinterest.

Sure, a recipe may be a combination of more than one ingredient to make an edible meal. However, if I see one more recipe for "Ranch Dressing Dip" which contains:

1 pkg dried Ranch Dressing seasoning
Sour cream / mayonnaise / yogurt

I may scream.

This was not a recipe for Ranch dressing seasoning (which was my aim), but a recipe for people... too lazy? to look at the back of the package?

I think it's a fair bet to say "if it calls for a 'package' it's not a legitimate recipe"
