Everything But the Bagel spice from Trader Joe’s is a go-to in our spice cabinet–adding it to homemade ranch might have just upped our obsession! Best part: it’s Keto friendly!
As much as I love to try new dressings from the grocery store, nothing beats homemade ranch. You know exactly what’s in it and you can spice it up in fun ways, too. A few years ago I discovered Everything But the Bagel spice at Trader Joe’s and I’ve been adding it to so many recipes.
These Smashed Potatoes were one of my favorite ways to use the seasoning–before we started this low carb lifestyle. Wahh wahh. Heads up: if you DO eat carbs, make these, then dip in this ranch. I’ll watch and drool.
Since we are watching our carbs, this ranch dressing uses Heavy Whipping Cream, instead of buttermilk. The swap out is great…you can’t even detect the difference!

While Trader Joe’s is the most common place to get the Everything But the Bagel seasoning, many other stores have it now, too! I saw it at World Market and Meijer, as well. I love the Litehouse freeze dried herbs, especially the dill–adds a great kick of flavor for dressings.

Great article! I often use diets in my life but all my friends think that “diet” means less carb in my eating life but it’s not true. Healthy carb is extremely important for healthy living! Probably the biggest thing for me was knowing my carbohydrates; it made a huge difference when I started to discover the difference between simple and complex carbohydrates.
