Here's how to make your own Homemade Ranch Seasoning Mix without all the preservatives and other weird ingredients! Plus, make your own Ranch Dressing and Ranch Dip, too!
I love making my own seasoning mixes - there are so many wonderful flavor combinations to enhance your recipes, and you save a ton of money. Plus, there's no weird preservatives or other ingredients you can't pronounce!
Perhaps my most popular homemade seasoning blend is my Cowboy Spice Mix. With grilling season almost upon us, you need this recipe, so be sure to check it out!
But back to this Homemade Ranch Seasoning Mix - it's full of flavor and keeps great in your pantry for quite a long while. It's a lovely addition to a gift basket, too. I like to put a bunch of my favorites like Basil Salt, Italian Garlic and Herb Seasoning Mix, and Taco Seasoning together for a gift.
It makes a wonderful housewarming or hostess gift. Individually, these jars of seasonings make awesome stocking sufferers, because everyone loves having homemade goodies!

I just need to go buy some buttermilk powder. We had a few packets of the store bought stuff from other people bringing it to our house and in order to clear out the pantry I used them to flavor the oyster crackers for my husband and he loved them!! I think that he is a little bummed that we don't have any more. I also have this white cheddar powder so I might try the seasonings with that if I don't get the buttermilk soon. Thanks for the tip!!

Where do you buy dry buttermilk besides online? I have never seen it before. Can you use it for other baking recipes? I see recipes for buttermilk but I don't buy it and this would come in handy. Thanks

You can also purchase it at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. You can mix it with water and use it in all kinds of recipes, like my grandmother's Chocolate Zucchini Cake recipe.
