Really nice recipes. Every hour.

blah blah blah I was sad that so many store bought spice mixes featured gross things in them like ungodly amounts of processed sugars and unnecessary preservatives so I went out to find homemade spice mix recipes and these are now all staples in my diet. Why am I sharing them with you? No idea, but I am gonnnnnnna.

about two tablespoons of this mixture = one packet of store bought ranch mix

add it to a mayonnaise of your choosing to make a DIY ranch dressing

I like to make air fryer hot wings with buffalo sauce and then toss the wings in this seasoning for a really lovely flavor

sprinkle it on everything, ranch tastes so good on everything, literally just add this to everything and make it ranch dressing flavored
