Pizza Flavor Herb and Spice Blend

Spice Guru's Note:

My recipe for a seasoning with the zesty flavor of pizza. This blend contains sodium from the tomato bouillon powder. Add this seasoning first before salting your recipes, then taste -- you can always add salt later if needed. Enhance your dish further with an addition of parmesan or Romano cheese.
