My husband is a wannabe-“Prepper”. You know, those people who have a three years supply of freeze dried food, water purifiers, multiple generators, several ways of making fire, and a defense arsenal in their fortified basements, you know, just in case. In case of what, I’m not sure, but after watching some of those reality shows, he now makes sure we have a stock of canned beans and veggies, bottled water, and the like. We have a year’s supply of batteries, flashlights, a generator, full gas tanks, all that sort of thing. When some sort of potential emergency strikes, he goes into full-on disaster preparedness mode. It’s a good thing, despite the occasional over-preparedness, but I suppose I’d rather be over-prepared than under.

So what’s prompting me to tell you this? Well, as we speak (or as I write), I’m keeping vigil over a frozen pipe. We came home from visiting my mom for the weekend and all was well in the house, until we tried to use the bathroom sink in the basement. All of the other faucets in the house are working fine – showers, sinks, even the shower in the same basement as the non-functioing sink. We are thinking that the issue is that the sink is on a wall against the foundation, with only frozen earth behind it.

Upon this discovery, we put a space heater in the bathroom, put empty buckets under the sink to catch the few drips we have detected at the connections, filled buckets and coolers and pots and pitchers should we discover a burst pipe and have to turn off the water supply to the house (since that’s the only valve), and just to be sure, once I do go to bed, we may just turn off the water overnight anyway.

Might I remind you we live in Maryland, not Minnesota. I shouldn’t be dealing with this nonsense. But alas, here I am, writing about disaster preparedness and Ranch dip, staying up way later than I should, since I’m not prepared like he is and didn’t have a Tuesday blog post written before we left for mom’s, keeping watch over my pipes while the rest of my family sleeps.

In some ways, though, I do try to be prepared. My version of being a “Prepper” is to always have ingredients on hand to make something like this…

Pantry Greek Yogurt Buffalo Ranch Dressing or Dip is a super easy and yummy way to jazz up your veggies.

When I made my Pantry Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip, I told you all about my kids and their dipping, and how I just didn’t want to worry about whether I had things like fresh chives and dill or lemons or buttermilk. Same holds true here, but since I am obsessed with all things Buffalo, it was inevitable I add a little kick to my Ranch. It’s a perfect healthy party dip, or drizzle it over a salad with grilled chicken and lots of veggies.

    Very good, and made with Greek yogurt it’s WW friendly—I’m a garlic nut though so had to go with the whole clove, not just powder!

    I halved this recipe and followed the instructions exactly–1 Tablespoon of apple cider vinegar is a LOT in this. Not sure if that’s a typo or not but next time I make this I’ll probably only use 1 teaspoon, if that. It makes the dip very, very tangy. I think the flavor will be excellent with that change. Thanks!

    Thanks so much! This looks really yummy 🙂 I’m the prepper in our house and get plenty of eye rolls from my hubby & teens! Living in CA being prepared is not only smart – it’s essential. We may end up dipping dehydrated carrots in your lovely dressing and will be thanking you again.

  4. Thanks for sharing! I’m the wannabe prepper in our household. The dip looks very tasty, and those are ingredients that we almost always have on hand.

    Oh wow! I guess living in CA made us neglect about emergency preparedness, other than emergency kit for earthquake. This reminds me to check my supplies. Meanwhile, let me snack on this greek yogurt buffalo ranch dressing. Sooo good and healthy.
