ok....heres a challenge for you...i am trying to 'replicate' the flavor of cool ranch doritos for a shredded chicken recipe... here's what i got so far

garlic
onion
pepper
chili
dash of cayenne
dash of dill
lemon zest
nutritional yeast(?)
parsley
chives



its missing something... or needs so repair, can you handsome genius self help?!?!

Ranch is actually a flavor I really don't like. At all. Cooler Ranch chips are okay I guess, but I detest ranch dressing. I've never in my life tried to make anything ranch-flavored because of this, so this, unfortunately, is something I'm not much of a help with. That link above looks like a good start. Or this:

Dry Buttermilk Ranch Mix Recipe - Allrecipes.com

The dry buttermilk powder is probably what you need as that's one of the strongest flavors in ranch. If you can find it, it's probably the missing ingredient to give it that "tang".

how about a smokey cheesy spice blend... ill use a tomato juice/chicken stock for the wet in the shredded meat ad add from there.... you got a blend? im thinking a carrot something might make it sweet/smokey/spicy

Invitation revoked. I don't want to live with somebody that's never seen Three's Company.

Actually he would have to be Jack since Jack was a chef on that show. Love Three's Company...RIP John Ritter.

Smokey cheesy spice blend...hmmm. How about cracked black pepper, bacon bits and the hardest romano cheese you can find? Few things go better than romano and peppercorn, and bacon is the perfect way to add a "smoked" flavor I bet you could crust some chicken in that, fry it in lard and it would be out of this world. Actually, I might have to steal that. And maybe add some rosemary in there, too!

As sad as this may sound, I've never been outside the country before! Isn't that terrible? I really want to go to Europe, but it's so expensive. If only I had a way to save on travel costs...will cook for a room?

Absolutely! I'm going to make it for lunch on Monday. Yes, I want to eat it for lunch I'll do a step-by-step. I just got 2 pints of nice strawberries for $3.50 and I have to use them!

One of my absolute favorites was my take on Primal Cheesecake. An obviously no-no for the anti-dairy crowd, but that ain't me, baby. The day I give up cheese is the day I die.

Sorry, I thought that was implied!! lol You can definitely stay in my spare room in exchange for cooking And I don't think it's uncommon for Americans to not leave the country, we have everything right there, ie- city, beach, moutain etc. I never even had a passport before I moved to England!
