Buttermilk Dressing

I was really thrilled when Jessica announced that she is getting married on December 30, 2011. Then I remembered the pictures from Rachel's wedding. I hated the way I looked in those pictures. Trying to find something beautiful to wear is very hard when you're fat. Since Jessica also wanted to lose weight, we decided to go to Weight Watchers. Weight Watchers is a heathful way to lose.

I must admit that I really like food. My Mama and sisters are all excellent cooks. I am an excellent eater. Food has to be flavorful if I will eat it a second time. I've failed at dieting before, because I couldn't find lower calorie foods that I loved. If you eat higher fat foods, of course, you must eat less. As well as needing very flavorful foods, I need to not be hungry. I will fail if I'm hungry all the time.

I know to succeed at this diet, I need to eat a lot of salad, but I hate fat free salad dressing. I experimented and found a homemade salad dressing that I can eat and best of all is low fat.

Buttermilk Dressing

1 cup buttermilk (I used my fat free homemade buttermilk)
2/3 cup plain yogurt (I used my fat free homemade yogurt)
2/3 cup low fat mayonnaise
1/4 tsp. mustard powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 tsp. dry dill
1 tsp. dried chives
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 Tbsp. cider vinegar

Toss everything in the blender. Blend until smooth. Chill.

This dressing is 1 point per tablespoon. Best of all, it's really yummy.
