Re: YOUR MUST HAVE SEASONINGS & CONDIMENTS

@aroc3435...I love to chat food also! It's nice to have some cyber friends here to do that with. I will definitely try the summer savory. I went on Amazon and they had a few choices. I do tend to get in ruts with my cooking and you've given me some great ideas. I have done the Cincinnati chili before with the cinnamon-I liked that a lot. I'm enjoying everyone's posts on this subject!

Black Pepper

Dill flakes

Italian seasoning

Paprika

Dried onion flakes

Chili powder

Taco seasoningget

 

I'm currently out of my favorite item because I get it at one of those huge supermarkets that I stopped shopping at once the virus hit our state. It's called Garlic Bread Seasoning and my DH prefers it sprinkled on lightly toasted bread instead of the frozen garlic bread I'd bake in the oven. I never looked at the ingredients but I'd guess it is parmesan cheese in powdered form, along with garlic powder.

@AuntG   I just searched for a substitute recipe for  you.  

 

Most of the websites sugggest a mixture of 1/2 cup of powdered Parmesan mixed with 2 Tbsps each of garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, and 2 tsps of dried parsley.  One also had 2 Tbsps of dried marjoram.  They then direct mixing 1 and 1/2 Tbsp of the mix with 1/2 cup of softened butter placed on your split loaf of Italian bread.  Wrap re-joined bread tightly in foil and warm in a preheated 375 degree oven.  (Or toast/broil open faced.)

 

A couple recipes had some kosher salt in the mix.  They suggest keeping a container tightly covered in the refrigerator and one said it would keep until the expiration date listed on the powdered cheese container (like Kraft) that you used.

 

Hope this helps.  Always frustrating to not find your favorites at the store.

Re: YOUR MUST HAVE SEASONINGS & CONDIMENTS

Oh that sounds perfect @aroc3435 . I butter the toasted bread and can sprinkle on some homemade topping. The cheese needs to be very fine - I can run it through my Ninja when I mix it up. Thank you.
