I am kind of obsessed with my ranch seasoning. I love mixing it into interesting dishes that are far from traditional ranch dressing. Ranch seasoning mixes a unique blend of spices that bring a savory element to any dish! I love using my seasoning to make these ranch carnitas and ranch guacamole. Yes I realize I am putting ranch into everything. What makes this dish even better is that it’s made in the crockpot. I cannot stress enough how much I hate using my stove in the summer time. It makes my apartment in the 80s, which isn’t fun at all. A crockpot keeps all the heat contained, and you come home to a delicious hot meal. I love serving these carnitas with Paleo Cupboard’s tortillas.
The Fourth of July is this weekend, and I am so excited! The 4th is one of my favorite holidays because I absolutely love fireworks. I don’t know what it is but I have been in awe of fireworks since I was little. I think my favorite are the ones that burst then sparkle like a waterfall then crackle at the very end. Also this 4th is even more special because one of my friends from college is visiting. This is my first visitor since moving to OKC. I’m excited to get to show her around all my favorite places and eateries.

I made pulled pork this past week but needed something to dress it up. This looks like just the thing!
Thanks Rachel!!
Everyone go make this now!! So fabulous! The perfect meal prep for work lunches 🙂
Aww thank you so much!!
I have people in my house with a very bad attitude about crockpot food . (Texture thing) My workaround is a six slice counter oven outside on my deck I think this would be delicious in a pan in my big toaster oven .
That does sound like a good idea!
