This was just ok for us. Iam giving this four stars instead of 3 because It might be my fault it didnt turn out great. I used fat free ranch instead of low fat, and we all know the fat free does have a strange after taste. I will make again using the low fat ranch. With that said, we did like the dish and the concept of it. It was very quick and easy to make. I will update when I make again. Thanks. :)

I am a primary school teacher living in Bristol, England. At the moment I teach Kindergarten, known here as Reception. I really love my job but it doesn't leave much time for hobbies!
I enjoy cooking for friends and aim to try new recipes as often as possible! My signature dish has to be White Chocolate Blondies, as it is my most requested sweet treat, and I definitely have a sweet tooth!
Update- 5-5-09: Somebody was very thoughtful and gave me the gift of a premium membership. I can honestly say it made me feel so good! If you're out there, THANK YOU so much! I can't quite believe the generosity...
