Homemade BBQ and Ranch Spice Mix To Make or Gift

Here's a recipe for a great BBQ and Ranch spice mix to give out as a gift, including free printables for both mixes and a gift tag.

Sometimes it's fun to make your own signature spice blends. This year I made a BBQ and Ranch spice mix to give to my friends, family, co-workers and those who have touched my life throughout the year.

I used to buy pre-made rubs for by BBQ dishes and the ever popular packaged ranch mix but recently I have experimented with making my own. The barbecue is pretty much a no brainer. Most the combinations I tried were pretty good. The ranch was more difficult. The tough part was getting the right consistency. This recipe will make a great tasting ranch dressing but it's rather runny. I thought about adding xanthan gum as a thickener but I wanted to keep it simple. So if you like your ranch extra thick you may need to try adding a thickening agent or maybe just more mayo.
