Blue Cheese Dressing

This blue cheese dressing was one of the first recipes I made from Brother Jimmy’s BBQ: More than 100 Recipes (a cookbook I can not longer seem to find online!). I picked it because because it just so happened that I was making wings for lunch that day and I needed something (other than bottled Ranch dressing) for dipping. This was it. And this will be it from now on, because this is the easiest, best blue cheese dressing you can make. Not only great for wings, it’s great on salads or for dipping veggies. Anything.

Blue Cheese Dressing

Easy. And Great. With Just The Right Funk.

I prefer Gorgonzola versus say, Roquefort, when a recipe calls for blue cheese. It’s a little milder and doesn’t overpower the dressing.

There are so many great cookbooks, and so little time. Our local library has online checkout of literally thousands of cookbooks. They come right to my PC or Kindle. That’s great and…. sorta not! Easy access to tons and tons of cookbooks means I read them for hours and hours on end. I end up bookmarking recipe after recipe. And then my stomach starts to growl. So then I end up making recipe after recipe. And the spiral continues! Day after day!
