The recipe includes buttermilk powder, parsley (or alternatives like carrot tops), garlic powder, onion powder, dill, chives, salt, and pepper, with optional additions for sweetness or spiciness.
Rachel offered substitutions based on what might be available or preferred, such as using carrot tops instead of parsley and freeze-dried green onion tops in place of onion powder.
She highlighted the benefits of keeping buttermilk powder as a versatile pantry staple and how it can be easily mixed with water when needed.Making homemade mixes can save money and avoid unwanted additives found in store-bought versions.
Rachel illustrated this with the ranch mix, noting that a single bag of buttermilk powder costs less than multiple bottles of ranch dressing, and many ingredients can be homegrown.
The ranch seasoning mix is versatile, usable in various recipes beyond dressing, such as for chicken coating or popcorn flavoring.
Rachel encouraged viewers to explore other homemade pantry staples like taco seasoning, cake mixes, and hot chocolate mix, emphasizing the ease and benefits of preparing these at home.

I think schools should have videos like yours for Home Ec class. I’m in my early 70s and when I went to school we had Home ec. I learned so much in that class.

@carollorenzano5411 Ай бұрын

They don't have Home Ec today in schools , so sad.

@themanifestorsmind Ай бұрын

I'm 42. When I was in middle school we had Home Ec. By the time I was in high school in the late 90s they had officially changed the name to Family and Consumer Science but the students still called it home ec. I took 3 years of home ec and got that as my technical education seal on my high school diploma (if we took 3 or more years in one elective course, we would get a special seal displaying our knowledge in that subject).

@GeorgiasGarden Ай бұрын

I loved Home Economics. I took it two years. I wanted to be a Home Economics teacher. It was my home economics teacher that told me it would be going away in years to come. I graduated in 1985. So sad.

I just made homemade buttermilk ranch dressing this morning. It’s a very forgiving recipe. I just trimmed a bunch of herbs from my plants and added to my dressing. I always keep a half gallon of buttermilk in my fridge, and everything else is just pantry staples. Once you make your own dressing, you will never go back to store bought

Great video and recipe. I found out in 2019 that I have developed an allergic reaction to monosodium glutamate. It took my engineer husband's devotion to deduction to find it. He start focusing on cause effect, and found it. It was a mystery prior, because we looked at food's we were consuming, soaps, shampoo, laundry soap, lotions etc. But it was in spice mixes, salad dressing, sauces, crackers, and so much more. We went through every item in the house and gave 2 grocery bags full of items to family members. We now check every label, we rarely ate out before, so not doing it isn't an issue. The incredible thing is that I have no problem whatsoever when we travel throughout Europe. They don't allow that in their food. We all need to learn to scratch cook and avoid all of those chemicals.

Two things. First. I made yuur chili base the other day (last years tomatoes were still in my freezer 😂) anyway, the chili base is amazing!! I added some pumpkin purée and dried zucchini but used your base recipe and it was fabulous!! Thanks! Second, I too make bulk ranch dressing mix and made some recently using what’s left in my bulk herb storage of my parsley. So in my head, I’m thinking I need to plant some more parsley so that I will have enough to get me through the winter. I was just thinking about doing that this weekend. I also have three beds of carrots that are ready for harvest so I won’t be planting parsley, I’ll be harvesting carrots and freeze drying carrot tops. Thanks so much for that as well!

Thanks Rachel for another great homemade recipe. As crazy as it sounds, ranch dressing is also great to drizzle on top or dip pizza in. I've found that so many convenience spice mixes have MSG or other crazy things, I am in the process of converting everything I can. Found a major pickle brand that is putting high fructose corn syrup in dill pickles. Just got cucumbers today so won't buy those anymore.

something to think about: Parsley: Falafels with loads of cilantro and parsley is incredible! they also bring in swallow tail catepillars. other bonus reasons to grow it: the flat flowers are amazing for bringing in preditory bugs, and it grows till heavy snow/ super hard frosts and is a biannual

I can’t believe you don’t grow parsley, it is so easy to grow, super healthy, helps deter pests in the garden and is super easy to harvest and dry ! Carrot tops are healthy and good too, but parsley is actually easier because one plant produces A LOT ! Plus it just keeps growing more stems after you harvest. I grow tons of celery too, I can the stalks and dehydrate the leaves. For those who haven’t grown their own herbs, you really don’t even know what they taste like, homegrown packs punch of flavor !!! Mirepoix is a French flavor base and is a handy canned pantry staple, onions, celery and carrots canned together you have a start to any dish !!! I suppose you could freeze dry it too !
