Quick Fix: Chipotle Ranch & Mayo K

I am a condiment fool. I love them so much, despite my will to be and eat healthy. I like mayo, and I won't apologize for that....and even though I was once embarrassed by ketchup, I still love it. Ranch? I put it on everything. I'm loud and proud when it comes to my love of condiments.

'Round these parts, we like to put an extra pow in our condiments. So, I thought I would share a couple of these with you. It's easy, and takes about 5 minutes, so really, there is no reason not to make these wonderfully easy and totally yummy condiments!

Mayo K- It's basically mayonnaise and ketchup mixed together. I first enjoyed mayo k in Puerto Rico, where it's practically everywhere. Then, I was thumbing through an issue of Cook's Illustrated, and I saw that they had a similar recipe in there under the same "hamburger sauce." My recipe is simpler than theirs, and really, who cares what you call this because it's just "awesome."

Mayo....

Ketchup....  

CAYENNE! 

This goes really well on fish sticks, fish tacos, korean BBQ, french fries, burgers, deep fried pickles, and like anything else.  

Chipotle Ranch- Also extremely easy. I'm combining my favorite chipotle flavored hot sauce with good Hidden Valley Ranch. I added a whole teaspoon, but if you prefer the keep the heat down, you can add a half a teaspoon.

Ranch + chipotle. SHA BAM. 

See how awesomely easy that was?!?!?
