A few weeks back, I taught an essential oils class for some friends, at their church.
Now please keep in mind that I live in the Bible Belt, and this class was held at a Baptist church. If you’re not familiar with the Baptist denomination, anytime there is a gathering (especially in the Southern Baptist church), FOOD is always present. Lots of it. And it’s goooooood.
I walked into the church fellowship hall to begin setting up all my oil goodies, and my friends are in the kitchen whipping up all sorts of tasty treats for the class attendees. It smelled amazing. I almost didn’t turn on my diffuser… 😉
One of the items on the table for consumption, was a southwestern style dip. But with a ranch twist. I couldn’t get enough.
I immediately asked her for her recipe, of which she graciously gave to me.
Fast forward a few weeks, and my Sunday School class had a cookout. And you guessed it…we had LOTS of food! I was crunched on time, so I decided to scour my pantry, and discovered I had everything I needed to make a version of this dip. The only thing I didn’t have, was the packet of ranch that my friend used, but I had all the ingredients to make my own. So I went to it. Made Mountain Man taste test. Made a few adjustments. Taste tested again. Perfection.
Let’s just say that there may have been 1 or 2 folks at the cookout who just stood in front of the dip the entire time. 😉 Also, Little Miss T was not phased by the spicy-ness. In fact, she kept asking for “mo dip, mo dip!” A girl after my own heart…and hair. Oh that hair.
So without further ado, I bring to you this Spicy Ranch Dip!
Don’t let the “spicy” part deter you from trying this. This recipe is super flexible and you can add as much or as little “spicy” as you want. As for me and Mountain Man? We like the spicy.
In the recipe, I mention adding some of my Taco seasoning…it’s easy, and if you haven’t tried it yet, you need to. Stat. Go here now to get the recipe.
