Heavenly All-Purpose Herb Blend

Submitted by BeachGirl

"I use this all-purpose balanced seasoning blend EVERY day! It's great on chicken, pork, beef, soups, stews, pasta salads, and just about any vegetable you can think of, especially fresh tomatoes and potatoes. I always double or triple the recipe, and keep it in a shaker by my stove. It can be made with or without the salt-substitute or salt, and still impart a delicious flavor."

This is so easy to mix together. I just made it yesterday but I have already used it on bread last night and on potatoes tonight. It lends a wonderful blend of flavors to your meals. Beachgirl, thanks for sharing this new addition to my spice cabinet !

WOW WOW WOW Is there any way to give this more stars? I made this mix and was expecting just the usual seasoning mix, BUT this stuff is fantastic. I added it to chicken breasts I was grilling and immediately I could tell from the aroma that this was special. Since that time, I have added it to EVERYTHING. It has become a staple in my home and I LOVE it. It makes everything taste better. If this sounds live a RAVE, it is. Thank you BeachGirl. I will ALWAYS have this on hand.

I had a whole slew of dried parsley flakes I wanted to use up (because now I mostly use only fresh parsley) so I doubled this recipe twice! (made four times the amount) and I am glad I did. This mades a great seasoning for soup and can't wait to try it on other foods! Hint: After placing all ingredients in jar and shaking, RESIST the urge to open jar and smell right away - I got a nosefull of garlic and onion powder (duh!). Thanks, BG!

Used this recipe in Baked Tilapia Iowa Cajun Style#2132682 which called for fine herbees (spice Islands). This worked out great! Thank you for posting.

I DO use salt but only 1 teaspoon this is really a nice blend i use it just about every day it is nice in scrambled eggs too as i experimated once then now i use it when having scrambled.. was very surprised I had posted no review...give this a try you won't be sorry...just use salt sparingly if you decide to include the salt very nice spice blend
