FAQs
All blue cheese dressing recipes can differ. Some are healthier than others and in general you can be very creative making salad dressing and dips.
This recipe is on the healthier side because it uses a mix of sour cream and greek yogurt as the base. Combine those ingredients with some buttermilk, lemon juice, dry seasonings (garlic powder, salt & pepper), and some bleu cheese crumbles.
If kept in an air-tight container in the refrigerator, this dressing will last up to a week before spoiling.

Meat thermometer recommendations
Every home chef needs a reliable meat thermometer to cook food perfectly.
On Sip Bite Go, you’ll often see me using:
- Meater thermometer – a fancy wireless thermometer that connects to a phone app – gifted to me from a Traeger partnership.
- ThermoPro digital thermometer – which has a wire that connects the thermometer to a display box outside the oven/grill.
It’s like being psychic! The great thing about either of the thermometers above is that I don’t have to take the food out of the oven to know the temperature.
How to use ‘em… What I do is stick the digital thermometer in steak, pork, chicken, whatever… Then put the food in the oven, on the smoker, or grill.
While the meat cooks, it reads the temperature so I know exactly what temp meat is as it’s cooking. Without having to take it out and check. It’s really difficult to overcook food when you know exactly what temp it is inside!
