Today I'm making monster cookies. And I'm realizing how many American ingredients it takes--peanut butter (ok, we CAN buy it here, but it is expensive and not very good), brown sugar, corn syrup, and chocolate chips. That's a long list of things I can't get here. So, I try not to make these kinds of cookies too often. More substitutes (this time some dressings I like that I can't buy here):
Ranch Dressing
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 tsp. onion salt, garlic salt, celery salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. parsley flakes
Mix together and use on your favorite salads!
French Dressing
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sugar
2 Tbsp. vinegar
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tsp. mustard
1 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. water
1/4 cup oil
Mix and serve!
Italian Dressing
2/3 cup cold water
1/3 cup oil
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tsp. onion powder
1 Tbsp. sugar
1/8 tsp.pepper, allspice, paprika
1 tsp. celery salt, garlic powder
1/4 tsp. oregano
2 soda crackers
Combine in blender. Blend until smooth.
Croutons
Butter both sides of bread. Sprinkle with seasoning salt. Bake on 250 degrees for one hour or until dry and crisp. Stir occasionally. We love these homeade ones.

i love making homemade dressings. I think they are better than boughten. Have you ever tried frying the croutons? it works quite well if you are in a hurry. just fry in butter, stirring until crisp and golden -val
Ah yes-the substituting! I can't understand why they don't have corn syrup here in England... and ENRG-Egg Replacer is another thing we wish was here. But praise God for American friends!! :) I guess we should be thankful we have chocolate chips, brown sugar--and good ketchup here! :) :) We always make our own dressings... I have a feeling my mom doesn't trust the store-bought ones, or something! See ya! -Asia
Hey, good idea. I hadn't thought about frying croutons. I'll have to try that.
