Made the Greek pasta salad and loved it! I wish the nutritional values could be added with the recipe but I understand that’s an extra step. I do appreciate the wonderful recipes though! Great work! Thank you
Love your show. When I can’t sleep I watch your show. Going to try to make your Hemp seed Ranch Dressing.
I’m literally eating it right now, it’s so delicious and refreshing, especially great on a hot day. God bless Jill and her family for all their dedication and hard work.
I tried this recipe. It was okay, better to eat it immediately. I found that the second day, the dressing got all dried out, which was disappointing. It was kept covered in the fridge. Anyone else notice this?
I made my noodles the day before and I didn’t use dates as the sweetener because it will make it thick you can use agave or date syrup
Love this recipe
Very delicious
