I use Ranch for a lot of recipes and I really like using the powder Hidden Valley mix for many Crock Pot recipes. In this next recipe, I am making copycat Hidden Valley Mix (Ranch) and I like it more than the store bought kind. If you’ve ever read the ingredients in these packets, you might be a little scared as there are a lot of random ingredients. That’s why I like making my own. 😉 When recipe calls for 1 packet of mix, use 2 tbsp of this instead. Enjoy!

I love Copycat Starbucks drinks! Here is one of my favorite drinks to make at home and especially when it’s cold and snowing outside. If you can’t have caffeine or are trying to limit your intake, you can just omit the coffee or use decaf and it tastes just as good. This is really the type of drink you could make all year long and the great thing is, Starbucks stops making them after the Holidays so you can continue to make them at home with this recipe.
