Answer 1

Excellent ranch dressing is made by combining buttermilk and mayo (50-50 quantities) with those ranch dressing packets. Buttermilk makes excellent baked goods of all kinds: Think cornbread, biscuits, soda breads, pancakes. There's a custard-type pie made with buttermilk, called "buttermilk pie." Buttermilk cannot successfully be subjected all alone to high heat or acids, as it will separate.

Even opened, buttermilk will keep at the back of your refrigerator about 3 weeks past the expiry date printed on the carton.

There are so many variations of spinach casserole, I'm not certain what you want. Here's how I think I'd make it (and specific amounts aren't essential):

2 or 3 Ten-oz boxes of frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed in your hands (hard!) to remove extra moisture
A pound (16 oz or so) of ricotta cheese
2 eggs
butter/marg, milk, flour
Onion, garlic, white sauce, salt, pepper, nutmeg/mace (read on)
More cheese?

Make a white sauce by frying a half a chopped onion in about 3 tbsp of butter or margarine until it gets kinda clear looking, then stir in 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) of flour until it's mostly smooth, then whisk in 2 cups milk (keep whisking a minute--no lumps). Let it come to a bubble, then let it simmer for 5 mins. Turn off heat and set aside. Add some garlic powder or garlic salt, or a clove of fresh garlic, pressed or chopped to this sauce, and a couple pinches of nutmeg or mace (about 1/4 tsp), and a good amount of black pepper (1/4 tsp) and a half-teaspoon of salt.

Beat the eggs into the ricotta. Stir the white sauce into this mixture. If you want more cheese, such as grated cheddar or parmesan or Gruyere, add it now, about a half cup to a cup, as you wish. Now stir in your spinach.

Pour this into a greased 9 x 9 baking dish. Bake at 350 for about 30 mins, until it puffs slightly, and a knife inserted 2/3 way towards the center is clean (but the center can still be a bit wet and jiggly). Remove from oven and cool on a rack.

Answer 2

you can make pancakes with the buttermilk, you can make cornbread with buttermilk (which gives it a distinctive taste than other cornbread)

Here is how I make my cornbread: Depending on the size of the cornbread I want to make, I pour white corn meal into my bowl. I add probably a teaspoon of veggie oil (I use canola) and then pour some buttermilk in there, like 1/2 c. to 3/4 depending on how much meal you are using, just enough to get the meal wet but still dry. I then add enough water to make the mixture smooth. I spray my baking dish with cooking spray and pour in the mixture. I bake it for about 45 min on 400.

You can use buttermilk if you want to make some homemade biscuits.

There are some cakes that ask for buttermilk in the recipe. You could do a search for buttermilk cake recipes or recipes calling for buttermilk.
