What do you mix the dry ingredients with when you say you use 2 tablespoons of the mix?

OMGosh!!! You have to eat gluten free too?!?!? Just when I thought I couldn’t love you anymore! My daughter was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 2010 & I was diagnosed in 2012. Do you use Gluten Free foods when you cook in your videos? If you don’t mind me asking do you have Celiac also or another reason to eat gluten free?
Rachel says
Do you mix it with water. ?
Carrie says
It’s a gluten intolerance. Yes, I try to use gluten free options when I can!
Carrie says
I use this instead of the ranch seasoning packets. I usually mix with water when cooking with this. Thank you!
