Italian Parmesan Herb Mix

Tue, 27 Dec 2005 12:36:23 -0500

This came from my Southern Living magazine in an article about homemade food gifts for the holidays. I think nothing says love better than something homemade. It means you took time and thought into making someone a gift. Their suggestions for use are to toss with pasta, veggies, or popcorn, sprinkle over salads, mix with butter and baste hot baked bread with it, or use it in flour for breading chicken. -- posted by Redneck Epicurean

Wed, 04 Jan 2006 20:21:32 -0500

Barbecue Chicken Rub

Mon, 20 Mar 2006 20:51:21 -0500

A great rub for chicken on the BBQ that goes well with most sauces. I always use it for wings on the grill. You can substitute cane sugar with brown sugar, although the moisture content of it will cause clumping in your rub. You can avoid the clumping by drying out the brown sugar by spreading it out on a cookie sheet, stirring it around every three hours. -- posted by Whipper

Lone Star Rub

Mon, 20 Mar 2006 20:51:33 -0500

A really nice tex-mex style rub by Jamie Purviance that's great on steaks. This makes enough for four good sized steaks, but I quadruple it and store it in a air-tight jar so that it's always handy. -- posted by Whipper

Whipper's BBQ Rub

Mon, 20 Mar 2006 20:51:43 -0500

A good all-purpose barbecue spice rub that is best suited for indirect cooking, or at least medium to low direct grilling. The sugar will burn with direct grilling over high heat. You can subsitute the cane sugar with brown sugar, but because of the mositure content it tends to clump and isn't as easy to work with. You can always dry the brown sugar by spreading it out on a cookie sheet and letting sit until it drys out, stirring every 2-3 hours. -- posted by Whipper

Roasted Taco Seasoning Mix

Wed, 29 Mar 2006 14:19:47 -0500

Herbes De Provence

Mon, 03 Apr 2006 14:56:15 -0400

From herbsearch.com. "Every experienced cook has a different recipe for herbs de Provence. This is a good basic recipe to start with. Experiment with the proportions and find the flavor blend that suits your palate best. All herbs should be dried and coarsely crumbled. CHer's add your favorite dried chiles to liven it up. I usually add a milder chile for flavor then a bit of Thai Birds. -- posted by mama's kitchen

Spicy Meat Rub

Mon, 19 Jun 2006 18:35:29 -0400

A beautiful red spice mix with a kick, this spice combo is good as a general purpose taco seasoning replacement or as a meat rub. Works best with pan fried or grilled chicken or steak, but should be good with pork, lamb, or anything else that breathes air. Would also be good sprinkled over pasta or added to steamed vegetables. To add more of a kick replace one part ground black pepper with one part cayenne pepper. -- posted by GenYChef

It's the middle of winter, it's cold, and what works better to warm the stomach than a nice cup of chili? While this may be a refined version of the first spice mixes I conjured up it's too good to keep to myself. Don't just limit it to chili stew mind you, it's good any time you want some added zing in a family meal that you just can't get from store-bought "chili powder". -- posted by GenYChef

The Best Creole/Cajun Seasoning Mix

Wed, 13 Sep 2006 20:43:26 -0400

Move over Emeril!... you will never purchase Creole or Cajun seasoning again once you taste this one --- I have searched for the longest time to find the best seasoning blend, this is it! --- four tablespoons of seasoned salt will not be overly-salty if you prefer a more salty taste then add in some white salt --- this makes a fair amount of seasoning, just store in a tightly-sealed glass jar in the refrigerator to use in ground beef recipes, soups, or stews, homemade pasta sauce recipes, or use it to season roasts, chickens, pork, beef, I use it on just about everything! If you like extreme spice then increase the cayenne up to 4-5 teaspoons. This makes a great gift for a spice-lover! -- posted by KITTENCAL

Cajun Spice Blend

Wed, 03 Jan 2007 13:34:46 -0500

I was looking for Cajun seasoning for my New Year's Day black eyed peas. This is based on Julie Sahni's recipe in "Savoring Spices and Herbs" with a few alterations. Everyone loved the peas, btw. NOTES: I ground only 1/2 the herbs/spices for textural effect. I usually grind up a whole nutmeg & store in a jar so there's always an amount of fresh nutmeg on hand. "Cook" time = grate & mix time. -- posted by Elmotoo

Oven Dried Onion / Garlic Flakes

Mon, 08 Jan 2007 14:58:11 -0500

This is a good way to use up extra onions/garlic and store them for future uses. Be sure to store in cool, dry places at room temperature in AIRTIGHT containers out of sunlight. With no moisture to be allowed to enter the container...ever ever. FYI-Temperatures too high will result in the onions being cooked instead of dried and when overdried will lose its flavor and nutritive value. Onions/garlic that are underdried will spoil so be sure they are crisp when removed. 1 small clove = 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon dried garlic slices. 1 small or 1/4 cup chopped,fresh onion = 1 tablespoon dried onion. -- posted by ~Rita~

Calypso Rum, Pineapple, Ginger and Brown Sugar Marinade/Glaze

An easy concoction that I made to give barbequed meats a bit of a spicy kick! With all the elements of the Caribbean - Dark Rum, Barbados Brown Sugar, Tropical Pineapple Juice and Fresh Ginger. This will make enough marinade/glaze for about 6 pork chops or pork steaks, 6 chicken breasts etc. Reserve a little of the marinade/glaze to dribble over the cooked meats just before serving. (NOT the marinade/glaze that the meat has been soaking in - as it will contain raw meat juices!) -- posted by French Tart

Tue, 21 Jul 2009 13:24:26 -0400

Thanks to one of my favorite Zaar vegetable recipes for inspiring this herb mixture. I make a small jar of this, then have it on hand when I need a quick ZIP to add to cooked (frozen) broccoli or cauliflower or vegetable medleys. Ideas below for add-ins to make a memorable side dish the kids will be begging you to make again and again! -- posted by Debber

In a Pinch Taco Seasoning

Tue, 28 Jul 2009 10:50:04 -0400

Put this together (in a pinch) when I was making tacos and realized I was out of taco seasoning packets. Liked it so well, I haven't bought a seasoning packet since. I keep it on hand in my spice rack and use it for more than just tacos. -- posted by CookETC

Taco Seasoning Mix

Sun, 09 Aug 2009 21:39:42 -0400

Found this online. I used a little more water (1 cup) and simmered for 12 minutes, uncovered. We can't have tomato based fillings anymore, due to my DD's tomato allergy, so this works well. -- posted by WI Cheesehead

Minnesota Masala

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 17:01:49 -0400

I'm very fond of Indian cooking and, above all, the key element is the spice blend or "Masala" used by the recipe. A standard "curry powder" is what most folk outside India associate with Indian cuisine, although there are hundreds of varieties. This particular type is based off of a nut Masala and Garam Masala only it uses the wild rice native to my homestate, Minnesota, for the "nuts" as well as a decent amount of cloves. It not only seasons with a bit of heat, but it also thickens a bit with the ground rice. -- posted by David J Rust

All-Purpose Mexican Seasoning

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 17:34:48 -0400

Don't buy MSG-loaded Adobo, Sauzon, or store-bought fajita seasoning. Combine with oil and use it to marinate corn, chickpeas, potatoes, and beans for a crispy healthy snack, and it's also great for tacos, fajitas, quesadillas, and I swear by this seasoning for my arroz con frijoles. It works for other Latin American foods too. -- posted by the80srule

Lemon Verbena and Calendula Vinegar

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 16:53:40 -0400

When steeping herbs in vinegar in the morning, it can be used that evening since it will begin flavoring the vinegar immediately. The longer it stands the more flavor it will have. The flowers and herbs will deteriorate and the flavor will not be as vibrant. "The annual bed of pot marigolds is filled with plants. These are the true pot marigolds, Shakespeares flowers of Middle Summer, and by midsummer this spot will appear to be covered with a cloth of gold. I expect them to self-sow, returning every year to gladden our eyes. ---Annie Burnham Carter from In An Herb Garden -- posted by ~Rita~

Sour Cream and Onion Popcorn or Snack Shaker (Copycat)

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:53:30 -0400

when i google "how to make powdered sour cream" i get a page to patent my idea. i think that's a bad sign. this is my logic, it may or may not work. if you try it let me know how it went! i would use pre-made powdered sour cream but it's about $35 plus shipping for one tin. i think not. -- posted by spiritussancto
